Great pilots have all their bases covered. If you don't come to an oral exam with all of your bases covered then you have no business being awarded A Private Pilot certificate. For me it was a great opportunity to prove my capabilities to an examiner. Worst case scenario is that I fail and I have to go back and do more homework and try again the next time. There is absolutely nothing to fear.

@@daveshangar6820 A few things. For some, these exams are a bit stressful because they don't know what to expect. Another giant problem is that many airlines only allow one failed checkride. That includes PPL, Commercial, Instrument, multi, and possibly CFI if you went for it. Failure isn't much of an option for a PPL, in this situation.

Generally speaking, if you do well on the written, and get off to a good start on the first few questions of the oral, the entire thing should take 30-40 minutes, on average.

It can go a lot less smoother than this and the examiner can still consider the student meeting standards and well prepared.

As long as you study, it's pretty simple. My examiner was fantastic - UPS 767 Captain, which helped since we had a common love for airliners. He basically pulled up sections from the PTS he had to test me on, read through them - then asked me questions on the subject that was on the screen. I studied weather the least and that showed - but not bad enough to fail. Also my mind went blank when he asked where do I find the AD's!! The rest of it I had been through so much, it was like repeating it to my CFI again. It really is like a conversation - which mine included a lot of very, very silent and awkward moments. That's meant to be something he does to see if you'll continue talking and berry yourself ha. Just keep it simple, don't panic if they stop speaking after you've answered! The flying part of it I forgot he was next to me at times. I put the wrong squawk in on the ground - SoCal corrected me on departure and I concurred, no big deal. The departure was completely different to what we planned due to traffic, but no problems there. Eventually got through Ontario's charlie airspace to do the maneuvers in Rialto. The airport I did my short/soft field stuff at, had the sun level straight down the runway. So admittedly I was almost guessing the soft field landing and got lucky. The CTAF was the same as French Valley's and there was tons of traffic there, none at our airport. So I kept going to say "French Valley Traffic" rather than Rialto ha. Thankfully I stopped myself saying it when it was at the tip of my tongue.... If you get yourself in the right mind set, it's a really fun but challenging day out flying. The most rewarding one yet for my career!

Now, this is not rocket science, so let's just focus on doing the preflight and flying. I will ask you for any questions I have." In other words, shut up and just do what you are going to do without sounding like you actually know something at 63 hours. LOL!

Is that really hard though?... These questions are pretty basic. You are loosing electrical power. What would be a likely explanation? ... my alternator doesn't work... ok, and what does that means? Well... means I'm running on the battery! So I'll be out of charge momentarily... What can you do to increase the time you have? Shut down all non-essential, electrical components like radio #2, lights, etc... Will you be able to use flaps? Depends on the aircraft, but this is a basic cessna, and these have electric flaps, so no, no more flaps for you. Etc. I feel like most of these questions are actually logic more than anything else... Same thing with the pressure questions... Why would an altimeter gain a thousand feet overnight without the plane moving? Well as you go up, the pressure decreases. So if the altimeter indicates you are high than you actually are, thats because the atmospheric pressure dropped during the night! This is all just logic!

Took my check-ride today (did fine), I watched this video at least dozen times. It was similar questioning, but more relaxed and not as detailed follow-up questions. Learn this video, I was much more at-ease having watched this. If you can answer these questions, you will have it no problem. Know the charts!!!

I love this video. I'm a private pilot and I come back to this video occasionally and go through it as a refresher, answering the questions before the student does who then confirms my answer. It's more entertaining than reading my very lengthy notes. Very thorough exam and very good job on the part of the student.

Guys, I had the same exact reaction you did when watching this video for the first time. I know I can't speak for every DPE, but the experience I had for my check ride oral portion wasn't NEARLY as in depth as this. Get yourself an ASA - Oral Exam Guide book by Michael D. Hayes, look through it a little every day and you will be fine! And don't be afraid to ask the examiner to re-phrase a question. He or she should be happy to!

He replied, "you just showed me how to execute a perfect hammerhead stall, half cuban and a flick roll in this thing, just give me the papers, and I'll sign you off".

Some people are scared of the flying portion of the check ride, for me the scariest part was the oral. If you're scared of the flying portion means you're not ready to be a private pilot. This video is probably 33% the reason I passed the check ride. The other 66% was studying for the written and from my notes. The other 1% was luck.

Same... The oral is the scariest portion. The flight has its own stresser, but ultimately, the flight is the least of my worries. Just stay within PTS for all the maneuvers...

Absolutely WRONG. If you're scared of the oral or flying (because you aren't 100% familiar with the answers/procedure) you shouldn't be a pilot. I hope you're not flying around with only 90% of the knowledge. Good luck with the FAA in that case. You'll be meeting them soon. Like someone said above it's normal to be nervous on tests. It's human instinct. You want to pass.

I knew Allen. We crossed paths a number of times over the years including a CFI renewal clinic he officiated about 15....maybe 20 years ago. I didn’t always see eye to eye with Allen, but he was a good guy as well as a highly competent and a respected DPE. He was tough....but thorough and fair. You can see a snippet of his fairness when the student failed to answer the night currency requirement properly but Allen stepped him through it without making him nervous or uncomfortable. “Good and dark”.....yup, that’s the point. No BS. He was rare breed of ATP that was actually committed to aviation (including General Aviation) and was not full of himself. The Aviation community....especially those of us here in the Chicago area, were very sorry to see him go.

Just had my checkride last week, and the oral portion was nearly 4 hours. The flight portion was about 2.5 hours. I knew all the material and passed easily, but I was exhausted at the end of the day. All of the CFI's at my flight school said they have never seen a check ride last that long. My DPE was a new examiner with less than 6 months experience, so maybe that's why. He went through every line of the PTS word for word. I hope my future check rides are easier!

+clof2001 That's almost what I would describe as brutal. My Oral was supposed to be 3 hours. It lasted 2. My CFI told me if my DPE kept me on my check ride for over an hour, he has some concerns, but 2 hours is the max he'll go. If you can't prove you know what you're doing in 2 hours, he'll fail parts of your exam and pass what he feels you've mastered. I was up and down in one hour and he declared me a Private Pilot. I think wearing out a brand new pilot as he/she makes that transition from student to PP is just stupid and dangerous ... let alone discouraging.

I can't stress enough to private pilot students how important it is to be prepared for the oral portion of the checkride. WIth that said, 90% of examiners will not conduct an oral to this extent. Most examiners base their oral exam on how the student performed on the written, and how well the first few questions go. The examiner should know fairly quickly if you're prepared. If you struggle to answer a question, or don't answer it thoroughly, be prepared for several followup questions. Answer every question this way, and the oral gets deep and lengthy very quickly. On the other hand, if you're squared away, knowledgeable, friendly, and conduct yourself like a professional, the oral can be over with in under 60 minutes. Again, this is entirely based on the examiner, but is typical from my experience.

All I have been doing is practicing landings on windy days, and today is calm." Learning to fly was the greatest thing ever though. Anyone considering it, should get it done!
