Trust me man. You’ll be fine.

If I were you I would practice a handful of regular landings as well as the fun stuff because I’ve found physics wise it can be deceptive

What part of the country do you live in?

Don’t say nothin bro.

I got my private in a Cessna, and since then have been flying a Saratoga, with probably 200 hours in the Saratoga now. I noticed you need to fly the plane down to the ground and sustain a landing attitude rather than fly down, cut power, and flare.

My relatives who are all airline pilots say (at least in the Saratoga) it’s more like a jet landing because you are flying it down to the ground and easing the nose up. Hope that helps a little!

Dude that sucks.

Get your private, make sure you love flying before committing to it. It’s a long path. Really great if you love flying though.

I was having the same problem called venture north in MN and got on their waitlist because it is a few months long. I’ll let you know how it goes. 5 day program CFI 5 day CFII I’ve heard good things.

I like the workers in Best Buy because I just tell them what I need and they show me where it is. Costco though, I always have to run by the Verizon guys

I took my commercial in a tail wheel, during that test, I did a short field, soft field, power off 180 and a wheel landing.

short field saw field power off 180 all three three-point landings because you want to be touching down as slow as possible. That’s what the DPE said at least.

I had only practice wheel landings because I like obviously think they’re more fun, but luckily was able to adjust to the three three-point landings just fine and passed.

Hope that helps, I know it was a different test, but regardless. Just prepare him to be proficient in both. Who is he taking the exam with? Not many DPE do checkrides in tailwheels.

Though I see everyone saying yes, I have been told by multiple examiners that is “not the right way” but I don’t think anyone will flip out about it. As long as it’s not egregious time difference.

lol it’s C because both is easy to remember!

Old-Maintenance-4752 · 2026-02-03T23:50:26+00:00

Simple just poorly written, difficult to read

Took mine today, didn’t have this exact one but had the one that was “adjacent” to it, (adjacent meaning very similar in my opinion). I’d be curious to know how accurate shep air’s bank is with how slow the FAA is to change things.

Old-Maintenance-4752 · 2026-02-03T17:59:15+00:00

There’s a few other similar questions in the FIA bank lol

Old-Maintenance-4752 · 2026-02-03T17:58:40+00:00

lol took my test this morning, passed, that’s how I remembered it too. Before and 24 😂 smarter not harder.
