    Great video, sounds like a thorough but fair DPE that creates a friendly professional environment! One thing about failing.... It is YOU that knows, the FAA that knows and EVERY FUTURE AVIATION EMPLOYER!!! So if flying professional is your goal, do not fail check-rides! If you do fail, be ready to own up to it and explain how it made you a better pilot.

    Hey there Paul,
    I'd like to thank you for spending time making a brief yet informative general layout of how the checkride will go - as well as some pointers. I have a checkride coming up in approximately two weeks and as nervous as I am, it's nice to know that when all is said and done, the examiner is simply looking for someone who is proficient in safety, common sense, and is always learning. Best wishes and blue skies.

      Y H Hey there, thanks so much for asking! I passed with flying colors (no pun intended). To be frank, the oral [and practical/flight] exam was the best experience I’ve had the privilege to partake in. The examiner was straight to the point, but allowed plenty of room for enjoyment and stress-free evaluation of me as a pilot (and person). After studying my butt off, I had no trouble at all explaining the route, the steps to take, follow, etc., and performing as PIC. Not tooting my own horn, but directly said from the DPE; “You’ve demonstrated to me that not only do you have exceptional knowledge and understanding as a [now Private] Pilot, but that of what should be expected for a commercial-level-Pilot. As for your handling of the aircraft (N21627, a 2004 C172S out of my home base KASH), I don’t think anything needs to be said - I went up with you hoping to see the same as that of your oral skills, and you outperformed those expectations.” Needless to say the butterflies still haven’t dissipated!
      All the best & safe skies.

    Never had any contact with any of my DPE before the checkride. The owner of the school kept him behind the scenes, and one of the DPE's wife that took care of scheduling even refused to talk to me. Not sure what the mentality, legality, and liability of the position is all about. No matter what, it's a test, you will be nervous, do the best you can. Hopefully if you bust your IFR the school owner is not going to say, shame on you. Good luck.

    I think you can dress like yourself for your check ride. "Neat and clean" and "business casual" means something different to everyone and your personal comfort matters more than someone else's potential bias of what you look like. They're evaluating your skills not whether or not you can conform to their view of what a pilot "looks like". Otherwise good info though.
