The best basic check ride preparation video I’ve seen, no fancy, distracting editing. Just extremely good info that anyone awaiting a G/A check out in the near future. It’s all in here folks.
Great video. Perfect example of how these go. The examiners are not there to fail you. It's more of a "would I feel safe with you flying my family home" type of evaluation. They spend tons of time explaining things that you may not have down 100 percent.
sebastian kramer I bet you are a much more knowledgable & safer pilot for it as well. It’s always a good thing to get a failure on some type of test now & then, at least I believe anyhow. My thinking on it is that it’s certainly humbling & also on the part that you didn’t make the test standards then I bet you trained well for that prior to retaking. Therefore it identified a possible weakness, I say possible as everyone has a bad day, plus there is always the turbulence fairies that can effect you’re aircraft just enough to turn that tick ✅ into a cross. Throughout you’re GA or “if you are flying for cash” you will fail at something at some point, I’m talking about at ALL times, NOT just during test conditions. That’s when you have to apply you’re own discipline & wisdom as all good pilots know what their weaknesses are & should work on improving them. You never stop learning & no two flights are the same. You just need to learn from these as I said & not beat yourself up about it or be shy in admitting them, even if it’s just to yourself. Anything that adds even the smallest improvement or experience is always a plus. Happy flying from the UK 🇬🇧
Gregory Sagram I think the basics of what this guy is saying is solid advice. I don’t think you can put it in too much into the commercial role though as it “apart from the obvious basics” apply that much. When you are talking commercial then you will be way beyond needing this, you will be going into fields (no pun intended) such as CRM, memory items, electrical, hydraulic & mechanical systems, how they operate, how you can fault find/ diagnose issues. The basic Aviate/Navigate & communicate will always be the big 3 though. Best of luck.
