I'm a CFI who's used Seth several times for check rides, especially multi rides. He's a total professional and is easy to work with. Fees are reasonable and I always enjoy working with VSL. Great job on the podcast Seth.

There are a number of check ride preparation videos on KZitem and some of them interview DPE's but this is the first one I have found done by a DPE. Great job. Not only am I more informed about what to expect I think I will be more relaxed.

Thank you for putting these together. An excellent introduction to a document that is crucial to success. Many instructors fail to spend enough time here with their students. The ACS, for me, is the boiler plate for all training.

Glad it was helpful! I agree that the ACS doesn't get covered in training enough. I think a lot of instructors just say "and here's the ACS. The DPE will use it to give you your checkride tomorrow. You should probably read it tonight"...

Thank you for your service, I am in the service too and retiring next year. Suggestion: can you cover those quick math/calculations i.e. clearances, route deviations, time, fuel, distance.

New York has an SFRA over the Hudson River. Check out the FAA TAC VFR planning chart for the New York area. You can find it in the document section of ForeFlight. I would venture to guess your examiner would ask something about the Skyline route.

I was wondering how a check ride with a Ercupe knowing that some of the maneuvers cannot be accomplished in an aircraft that cannot stall. And the flight characteristics are dissimilar from most aircraft, how would you go about the check ride?
@SethLakeDPE
2 жыл бұрын
Great question. I've never done a checkride in a Ercoupe. I do have a few hours in one though so I'm familiar enough to know that most aren't equipped with rudder pedals and braking is done with a single hand brake. 61.45(b)(2) allows for aircraft to be used that precludes an applicant from performing all the tasks, but the rating will be issued with an appropriate limitation.
