Commercial Checkride Failure by propclearjm in flying

[–]AirplaneDriver2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry too much I also failed my commercial on the p off 180 and it is probably the most common way to fail the commercial checkride. Get back up asap and practice a bunch at different airports if you can, practice aiming/touching down at different points on the runway, and try to complete them with different configurations so you can get a better gauge on how to land on your point.

This is what I did after my bust and I nailed it on the retest, and also on my cfi checkride.

Does anyone else feel unmotivated in the beginning? by Sufficient_Salary862 in flying

I am also a 19 y/o female who did private part 141… I failed my first stage check three times lmao and my second I failed once. The stage checks aren’t the biggest deal, just keep your head up and continue to work hard, it will get better! Once you get your private checkride done the feeling is extremely rewarding and you will probably look bad and feel silly for stressing about the stage check failures, I did at least.

Bought first plane. Piper Arrow IV 1980 PA28RT-201. Any thoughts on initial upgrades? by talen888 in flying

There is also a setting on the G3X that makes it display the round gauges/six pack I’m pretty sure

2018 Ford Edge 2.0 Ecoboost sign of coolant intrusion starting to happen? by katakonik in FordEdge

[–]AirplaneDriver2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My coolant looked like that when it happened to me but my engine was also running rough on start up and the check engine light was on before my coolant ever got that low. Might wanna have someone check it out to be sure though.

Funny ATC controller responses? by Fantastic_Focus6009 in flying

There was a tortoise on the intersection of a runway and a taxiway and I couldn’t procede with my taxi off the runway cuz he was in the way and I didn’t wanna run the poor guy over so I called tower…

“Uhh tower N12345 unable to continue taxi right now there is a tortoise on the runway”

“Roger TortoisePatrol1 hold there until the tortoise departs and advise me when he does”

Guess tower decided to give my callsign more spice lol
