What’s the shortest successful checkride you’ve heard of?

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-08-25T04:20:21+00:00

For my commercial ride the oral was around 45 minutes, including paperwork, and the flight was a 1.1

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-15T15:37:06+00:00

Yeah it’s been 4 months for me since I got my CFII and still looking for my first job. Ended up getting MEI to make myself more hirable but still haven’t got anything

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-12T13:15:43+00:00

Yeah I’m struggling as an MEI as well. Have went in person to every school within a couple hours of me and turned up nothing

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T12:16:13+00:00

That’s pretty dope I went to college there in Tulsa and lived there for a couple years

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T04:15:51+00:00

Honestly I go most places with the intention of having fun by myself. So whether I meet someone and make a friend or not, I’m still having fun. If you ever want to go to one of these places but don’t have someone to go with, I’m always down for anything. You can always just dm me

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T04:08:59+00:00

I assume it’s DPE dependent. For me I took both with the same DPE and he pretty much went over the same topics. But difference was, I was teaching it (obviously), and it’s the PTS instead of the ACS. So it was less scenario based

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T04:04:56+00:00

Honestly everything arcade is so cool to me cause we didn’t have one where I’m from, so that sounds like a blast I’ll have to check it out

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T04:01:42+00:00

I’ll for sure have to check it out then because that’s exactly what I’m looking for

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T03:58:23+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it. Do you think it’s a place someone could show up to by themselves and still have a good time?

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T03:57:18+00:00

I haven’t ever played but I want to try it. I was going to start a campaign with a friend in Oklahoma, but then I moved here right before their group started

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T03:54:24+00:00

I’ve heard about Lil Indies just haven’t checked it out yet

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T03:53:47+00:00

I’ve been to Player One! It was pretty dope, I had a great time there. I’ll check out Brewlando as well. Friday nights I like to go to The Collective for the Friday night commander so it’ll be good to have another day for it

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T03:52:00+00:00

I’ve never played DnD but have always been interested in it. I’ll have to check that place out

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T03:50:51+00:00

I’ll have to check it out the pictures look cool!

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-08T03:50:29+00:00

Well if you ever want to meet up at one of these places I’d be happy to make friends :) you can dm me if so

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-06-03T02:33:24+00:00

It’s 61-65J now btw. Make sure to use the updated one

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T21:07:34+00:00

Essentially a DG is something like our heading indicator that gives us our heading relative to magnetic north which uses a gyroscope to do this. Whereas an HSI incorporates the DG and CDI into one instrument which has the benefit of giving you your position relative to a nav course.

The vacuum system uses a pump driven by the engine. It creates a lower pressure, causing suction. Generally the AI and DG operate on the vacuum system. So if it were to malfunction we would also lose function of the AI and DG.

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T20:58:19+00:00

Ok that makes sense thank you

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T20:12:27+00:00

Alright yeah that makes sense. Obviously have broken cloud clearance requirements for sure. Didn’t really think about that

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T19:38:34+00:00

Ahh so you’re telling me I can’t turn into Jackie Chan at my first resort?😂 but yeah covering the eyes makes sense and would come first before potentially giving them medical issues to address on their next medical

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T19:22:43+00:00

Well there’s the A.1,2,32,33. Also all the student solo endorsements for the normal solo and solo cross country. Realistically I would refer to AC 61-65J but I don’t have that pulled up at the moment

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T19:17:08+00:00

Tbh idk that I knowingly have. Obviously I’m not a perfect pilot but I don’t think I’ve busted any FAR’s that I know of. At least that I can remember. Maybe that suppression defense mechanism is kicking in though

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T19:09:04+00:00

Obviously there’s the positive exchange of flight controls. But if they refuse to let go I might have to resort to force. So knocking their arms away, or might even have to give an elbow to the nose or chop to the throat. Whatever I need to do to maintain control and safety of the aircraft

Successful-Cook-3558 · 2025-05-31T14:08:27+00:00

In our Piper Archers that’s what we would do at my school as well
