The Fearful FAA Check Ride Exam by Tom W

June 7, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

Well, there I was... Finally sitting in front of my FAA examiner thinking about how long and hard I had worked to get to this point, and shaking my head in disbelief that after this day, if all went well, I would be an actual pilot. I was about to take my check ride in … Continue reading The Fearful FAA Check Ride Exam by Tom W

Jason’s Private Pilot Checkride

June 7, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

12-4-00 Piper Warrior Examiner: George Barone, Wurtsboro Airport (NY) I've read many descriptions of student pilots' flight tests, and most were very interesting. Hopefully mine will be too - the experience was definitely memorable for me. I was up late last night doing my flight plans and double checking that I had the paperwork and … Continue reading Jason’s Private Pilot Checkride

Cross Country Report by Jeff Volp

June 7, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

I enjoy reading articles from others, so I though I would share my long cross-country experience: My long cross-country was from Lawrence, MA, to Portland, ME, then Laconia, NH, and back to Lawrence. Portland is class C, with approach control. We had flown dual into Portland for the night cross-country, but my CFI had handled … Continue reading Cross Country Report by Jeff Volp

First Night Flight! by Dane Spearing

June 7, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

I had my first night flight last night and it was a BLAST! I managed to get all three night flight requirements for my PPL training on that one flight: x-country, 10 night landings, and 3+ hours of night flying. My CFI and I took off from Los Alamos, NM (LAM) at around 9:00 pm … Continue reading First Night Flight! by Dane Spearing

Hello all, I did my second dual cross country. Here's the details for anybody who's interested (long). I flew from Ellington to Livingston (67NM).

Instrument Checkride Story by David Z

June 7, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

I passed my instrument practical test yesterday, and here's the story. I tell it to assist others in preparation for their checkride. Well, and to brag a bit. 🙂 The oral began with a check of my application form, current pilot certificate, and medical. Then it was straight to the airplane logs. The examiner wanted … Continue reading Instrument Checkride Story by David Z

Instrument Checkride by Mike Wei

June 7, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

I waited for two weeks for this checkride. My DE, Peggy Naumann who flies with the United Airlines, was doing simulator training at Denver. She was the same DE who did my private checkride. I considered her to be those type of DEs who believe judgement and flying safely are a whole lot more important … Continue reading Instrument Checkride by Mike Wei

Multi-Engine Checkride… by John Stricker

June 7, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

I thought some of you might be interested in this. I passed my multi-engine w/instrument a week ago last Thursday (10/22). First off, perhaps a brief explanation is in order. I'm 42 years old, farm primarily and also run two other businesses. I'm not a professional pilot. I don't ever intend to be one. I … Continue reading Multi-Engine Checkride… by John Stricker

Private Pilot Checkride

June 5, 2012July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission

Today December 6, 2008 was my private pilot checkride, completely by accident. I went up at eight in the morning for a mock checkride with my instructor and all went very well, I felt very good for the ride next weekend. Not too long after arriving home after the mock ride my instructor called me … Continue reading Private Pilot Checkride
