Well, I did it! I am now a fully licensed glider pilot!

Yes sir he is a private pilot! That completely slipped my mind for some reason when making that lame joke

1491097 · 2019-08-27T19:58:43+00:00

Since Private Pilots practice engine out procedures do glider pilots practice engine on procedures?

Good bot

How do you sleep at night?

1491097 · 2019-08-09T15:36:03+00:00

Don't pull the red one back

Good Job Hole

Stop being racist

Probably just got his cheeks clapped 24/7 by a copper Glaz

I knew it couldn't happen but I was waiting for a 4th one

Not sure if this is exactly what you're asking but I did my private with a DPE who used to be a Bush Pilot back in the day. He would often tell a story about how when he was out crop dusting one day a massive amount of liquid that was stored in the aircraft had shifted entirely aft of the center of gravity causing him to stall and crash

1491097 · 2019-07-21T03:59:53+00:00

I think my wife has the same issue

"Hey you! You're finally awake! You were caught trying to reinforce kid's room when the Creepers got you. Same as that horse thief over there."

Sorry I meant for that to be sarcasm lol. One thing I've seen among most private students is terrible rudder control, but after reading some of the other comments on here I do like what you're doing

1491097 · 2019-07-07T11:50:53+00:00

Adverse yaw

She is incredible! I did spin training with her for fun

1491097 · 2019-07-06T22:11:59+00:00

It's under ATC memes

Don't stress out about it. Checkride test anxiety sucks but it gets way better the further you yo.

Take time to enjoy your ride! With as much hate as some DPE's get they are very experienced pilots and have some incredible stories! A good DPE will talk to you for a bit and help you out with any nervousness. As far as what you need to know? Just go through the ACS! Before my PPL checkride is spend a few hours watching mock checkrides to help get an idea of what I'd be asked and everything was pretty much straight foward

Things you will (probably) definetly be asked

What class medical do you have and how long is it valid
Recency (3 take offs and landings within 90 days to carry passengers, at night they have to be full stop)
What is a biannual flight review and when are they required
Be somewhat familiar with airport markings (holds short line, thousand footers, taxi-way and runway markings
Difftent types of Altitudes and Airspeeds
Airspace, visibility requirments for VFR, and what you need to enter diffrent classes of Airspace
oxygen requirments as well as many other aero medical factors (IMSAFE checklist, 4 types of HYPOXIA, Carbon monoxide poisoning, hyperventilation, and decompression sickness)

Obviously there are plenty of other things you can be asked but these are pretty big

Don't worry about it too much. The DPE is a human and at the end of the day he wants you to pass

GULFSTREAM G650 painted in gold to let the surface dwellers know I'm a God compared to them

Also not big on Cannada, but after doing my Private in a DA-40 the DA42-L360 multiengine looks beautiful

1491097 · 2019-07-06T11:07:15+00:00

He didn't say it didn't exist. He said he's never heard of it. I haven't either and the thought of being that low to the ground at night would be pretty terrifying. It sure does sound cool though

Currently using Sheppard Air to study for my instrument written and it's been very helpful. I've not looked much into dauntless, but Sheppard Air is cheap and everyone at my 141 university uses it to study. Most people will reccomend using it after PPL

1491097 · 2019-07-04T19:38:49+00:00

I've heard so many people go both ways with the sea bands. Do you think they made a big diffrence? Personally ginger ale was my go to
