I’ve watched 2 of your mock checkride videos to the full extent.. Studied it, and taken my own mental notes to take into my own actual checkride. Got a checkride with a 2 day notice! Was so nervous about the ground more than the flight itself and I nailed it. I was so filled with joy and excitement when I heard “okay, ground portion is now complete” I went to prep the airplane (C172i) and NAILED the checkride!!!! After about a year and a half of struggle, being used for hours by my previous instructor, and making it through it all….. I now have my Private Pilots license. Moving forward into Instrument soon, and then straight into commercial!! ❤️
I watched about 4-5 of your videos over the course of 1-2 weeks ahead of my checkride, hoping it would help me be more prepared than the first time I tried and failed earlier in the year. I'm pleased to announce that I passed! I'm so thankful for your content and what you're doing for the thousands of students looking for guidance; it definitely helped me! I found treating the exam as a chat or conversation with the examiner rather than an interrogation helped A LOT considering my testing anxiety. Thank you!
Part of why I say I got dragged out with my hours is because I ended up with 200hrs, 47 of them being cross country… The dude would get yelling at me the second I make a small mistake such as missing a part in a comm… Even if I fixed myself quickly after before he said shit about it. There was so much more, too too much to explain here… Again, I really appreciate ya taking the time of YOUR day to do this for our community!! It’s just what we need, people like you!!
Great content, very very thorough Q&As. I love the way you went to the bottom of the knowledge to "grill" the student. Many thanks to both of you! Keep it up.
I like your "memory items" for a wing fire. In addition.... A lot of schools teach to "Step on the Fire" and do a descending shallow slip. This gets the fire away from the rest of the airplane, while losing a lot of altitude quickly. So if the right wing is on fire, you'd step on the right rudder and apply left aileron, and perform a slip.
Hey could you do a commercial mock checkride again? You only have one on your page and that was for a Cirrus. If you could do one for a 172 or similar that would be great! Just trying to study for my CPL! Great vids btw!
Just got my PPL Thanks to your videos! I flew once a week and it took me about a year to get my ppl. I plan to save up money for 6 months for my IFR and get it all done in flying everyday. In the mean time I’m gonna study IFR while working, any recommendations on resources to study IFR in the mean time? I also have a flight sim set up with control yoke and peddles I can practice maneuvers on.
@@PylotGuyMy best advice I could give for my test is definitely know your way around the actual maintenance logs! I spent 20 minutes on those maintenance logs looking through the AAVIATE inspections, and also don’t forget the above and below 20C temp on the cruise table if it’s a hot day like in Florida where I took mine 😅 he got me on that for my cross country plan. Another piece of advise is talk to the dpe as if hes like a semi friend. It made me calm down a whole lot when we had down time during the check flight I made small talk. If he laughs at your joke you’ll completely forget your on a check ride lol. Lastly trust your gut, expect the go around! When ever you land your top priority is to go around, your second is landing especially on the normal and short field with the 0ft short tolerance. If you ever feel unstable on the approach go around trust your gut, I failed my mock check ride twice because I tried to force a landing. Trust your training, you don’t have to be perfect. Good luck!!
Mr. Cheese Pilot, for the example of the mom asking PPL son to fly her to an airport, I understand the non-common purpose, flight time as compensation, and transport person point A to point B; however, what if the son pays for the whole flight? I also believe this is not holding out of willingness because the son never offers? please help!!
There’s an opinion piece the faa put out with case law being used as reference that pretty much says if the pilot decides on the destination it’s all good the passenger can’t approach the pilot with a destination in mind
To the statement that the tail end of an airplane creates down force: my understanding is that most airplanes have a horizontal stabilizer with a symmetrical airfoil, producing no lift when the elevator is in line with the stabilizer and allowing for either negative or positive lift when deflected.
If the aircraft is in cruise The tail is generating downforce. The airplane can't be balanced without the downforce in crews. Obviously if you have to push the nose down you can generate Lift with the tail
@@cheesepilot so I can just roll with the idea that when elevators are neutral (if thats a thing) the design of the tail inherently causes downward force to keep the nose up until deflection to the elevators are made? Thanks in advance.
@@cheesepilot Just passed my Check Ride! Lets just say it was wayy easier than these videos, but I understand the prep. My stage 3 check was as hard as one of your videos. One thing my DPE did was go over all the questions I got wrong on my written. Cheers

did you taken any other notes? waiting for my check ride date too!
This gentleman definitely has some homework to do before his check-ride!! But good on him for having the bravery to be on the video for a moc oral! 👍🏼
This was a good example of what not being prepared looks like

sorry you had such a rough experience and im glad that these videos are helping you
Thanks for such videos. Got my check ride scheduled next week and preparing myself by your videos as well.

The W in oil grades doesn’t stand for weight, it stands for winter. So 10W40 has a viscosity rating of 10 when it’s cold and 40 when it’s hot
Bro, great content!! Keep on doing it, your hard work and dedication, is truly helping us "wanna be pilots" 🙌
I liked watching the 3d printer in the background lol
Yes Yes Yes... Read, study, know your POH. RTFM ! Luv it.
“Tuscon” killed me lol
Thanks for the longer videos man!
1:51 OVC020 is lowest reported ceiling, top of TAF at 1725Z
1:51:00 sorry
1:50:45 what about the first line of the taf reporting broken at 1200
Love the videos. Would love a Commercial one if able!
Should be one up already go check the play list
Would like to do a mock oral

Sorry I can try and do some videos on covering commercial but I only post the ones where the student is okay with me posting them
My buddies wife made Tuscan chicken and he continuously deliberately called it Tucson chicken, she was not happy about it lol.

Any tips ? My check ride is sometime this month, nervous more about the oral than anything

@@mikhailyaremkiv I'd say they default to down Force. A canard would be more of a neutral and that's why they can be so unstable.
@@cheesepilot ok thanks. Looking forward to another Private Pilot mock oral.

pitot heat ON when entering IMC conditions!
How do i apply to be tested by you mr cheese pilot
All the details are at trainingwithcheese.com
My PPL check ride is in two weeks. Flying a C172N with a digital attitude indicator and DG HSI
You make the best videos! I wanna do a video! test me!

Sure you can fly your mom back to the airport in the class B. Ya just can't take any money from her for doing it.
There’s an advisory circular out that pretty much says the pilot has to be the deciding factor on the destination
sorry but as a MEII for 30+ years he would have been unsat 4 min. into the exam. To much ref . to his books. Even the basics are beyond him.
Are you a DPE?
not every student does great but we push on to see if there is anything else that needs to be covered.
are you a dpe though
@@bradonturnbow7510 nope but I was a check pilot for @undaerospace
