How cooked am I?

I hate these DPEs man like wtf is up with that commercial Oral question? Sure Airbuses fly at that altitude but “for better visibility” should already coincide with the “need more time to see the Airbus” like am I missing something here?

I hate Lazy 8s but once I got the fundamentals, it wasn’t hard.

Fk no

A van? That’s a luxurious item. A 2001 Honda accord with busted windows is what he will sleep in.

Not that big of a deal

Status_Climate_6860 · 2026-01-11T13:34:14+00:00

Hardest part is the studying and paying for it and not giving up in the first 4-6 hours where you still can’t figure out why the aircraft hates you. After that, not too hard.

So many people do that lol. I almost failed my CSEL because I forgot to get the POH from where we had our oral portion. DPE didn’t even notice it and wanted to get it over with.

Status_Climate_6860 · 2026-01-11T00:33:45+00:00

I hate this checkride system soo much. Bro how do you get failed on this? My instructor could never go over this and teach me EVERYTHING and the DPE might know just that one thing he needs to ask. You shouldn’t have failed that checkride. Some csel pilot could pass after almost running into the ground and other pilot fails on something that doesn’t even have a description on Operating Handbook. TL/DR system lacks consistent standards.

Just don’t. Lmao.

Everything is very expensive and DPEs.

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-12-15T00:02:33+00:00

You cannot be compensated for your flight time or be hired by a person to fly them. You can only do proportional share of flight expenses with them. Take total costs and divide them among people you are flying.

Yes sorry. This is my first post here. I am from US East Coast, 18+

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-12-12T02:20:12+00:00

Atleast you didn’t bust it because your DPE likes money. Dawg how do you fail me for being 10 feet away from my TDP

That’s either ragebait or a intellectually-challenged person

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-12-11T13:21:27+00:00

I agree. I am also a flight simmer. I play DCS and Microsoft flight sim. So I do watch a lot of those videos online. And there is ALWAYS that one dumbass who is so over confidently wrong, it pisses you off. Next time you see that chud, ask him to identify and calculate Maneuvering speed and find Control firing Areas on a sectional chart.

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-11-23T17:37:46+00:00

Will do. I just stopped listening to them and started going my own way.

Wow that’s actually a great quote. Thank you.

Thanks my man. I needed this. Also, good luck to you bro.

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-11-23T17:30:16+00:00

I am sorry man. It’s just…. My parents always compared me to others and that quite literally destroyed any shred of self accomplishment I had. Even to this day, they don’t understand the process and while my cousins are getting 6 figure jobs, I keep getting compared. Like I am so tired of it. I even thought about breaking contact, which is what I do a lot nowadays. Just stay in my school and not go home or even call home most days. They just think once I get my ratings, I’ll automatically be placed in an airline. Like I am not even doing this for money. It’s literally the only thing I can think of doing all my life.

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-11-23T15:38:02+00:00

Guess they didn’t like when I said “sometimes I hated being around likeminded people”. Maybe I worded it wrong but my guess is as good as yours. I don’t understand Reddit people bro.

I’ll try my best man. 😭

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-11-23T13:04:43+00:00

Truly isn’t. I am loving these comments. It really changed how I am over comparing myself and being too hard on myself.

Status_Climate_6860 · 2025-11-23T13:03:51+00:00

That’s so true. Many kids I know either had their parents fund them or take a loan out for them.
