seems very realistic. I will say it's annoying how the student will talk over the DPE and not let him finish and will volunteer information. Some DPE's might get pissed and follow you down a rabbit hole or become a little snappy to match that.
I know this is a mock checkride, but for those actually preparing for one: Please let the examiner speak and finish his sentences, and do not overshare as much as is shown in this video. You could piss off your examiner for not letting him finish his questions/sentences, you may come off as a know it all which may or may not hurt you, and you may or may not put yourself in a hole. For example, when the candidate in the video mentioned civil twilight without being asked about it, then he was asked about it and had to go search it. let the examiner speak, answer only what you are asked unless you know from the bottom of your heart you are 100% well versed on the topic. Other than that, great video.
Yeah, I didn't really like the attitude of the guy that was getting tested, you shouldn't go into it thinking you know everything the examiner will ask. If they ask you a question let them say it then say 1 or 2 buzz words that they want to hear back don't dig yourself a hole

Very useful video! At 47:05 it's said that the VSI uses an aneroid wafer, but it uses a diaphragm. The airspeed indicator and vertical speed indicator use diaphragms and the altimeter uses aneroid wafers. The diaphragm inside the ASI contains RAM air from the pitot tube and the diaphragm inside the VSI contains static air from the static port. The aneroid wafers of the altimeter are sealed to contain a specific pressure: 29.92" Hg. Overall very helpful.

To clarify at 32:40 on the ELT talk. Batteries come with a life expectancy. There is a "half life" date marked on every battery so you know when its been half the batteries life. There isn't "50% of the battery used" or a "clicking and beeping" to note when the half life has been reached. The date on the battery should be the date of the half life/replacement date.
@@BATAviation Bullshit, you should be leaning aggressively during ground ops and leaning to best economy during cruise at all altitudes. Colorado or Miami, doesn't matter.
This has to be one of the easiest checkride videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. With other people being in the room, giving their own 2 cents from time to time, being able to just “google” the answers he doesn’t know, and the instructor just nonchalantly eating, this strikes me as a mock test.

For the VSI, it's important to remember the wafer contracts as altitude increases, as opposed to expanding like the Altimeter does. Why? The VSI wafer is exposed directly to the outside static pressure, but unlike the Altimiter wafer, it is surrounded by a casing with a calibrated leak. The pressure inside the casing surrounding the VSI wafer is temporarily higher than the pressure inside the wafer *until* the pressure equalizes. Higher pressure surrounding the wafer causes it to contract, and the opposite when descending, it expands.
@@BATAviation It's important to know as it can be a question on the PPL, Instrument or CPL oral exams. The question was asked and it was answered incorrectly. The VSI wafer does not expand with an increase in altitude. Appreciate the video, helpful overall 👌
This is amazing! Alot of questions were asked, which I had to think twice about before answering. It is easy to overlook some areas when there is so much to cover for the check ride. Thank you for the astounding content!
43:03 CG is ideally slightly in *front* of the center of lift, as this placement of the weight allows for easier stall recoveries and to better assist the variable nose-up/down forces from the elevator with returning to a trimmed condition from a disturbed state FAA-H-8083-1A Page 1-3

At 40:15 On Induction Icing: This is an icing over of the opening for the engine intake. Not enough air gets to the engine as a result. There is a cool story about this in the book Fate is the Hunter where they intentionally backfire the engine to blow the induction icing off the intakes. Some aircraft also have alternate air sources in the case that this occurs.
@@BATAviation If you look many ww2 aircraft have mesh over air or oil cooler intakes, but stand off so if blocked, they don't starve the air flow. Also carb. heat bypasses filter so can be used if filter blocked.
@@BATAviation Year and a half later, passed my multi, single engine land and sea commercial, now a CFI/CFII. This video is what I send all of my commercial applicants to study. It was almost 1 for 1 identical to my commercial ride. Only difference was I did multi first so I had some multi questions.
Great content. One thing I would add is that it's better to just answer the question, then stop talking! Don't dig a check ride hole for yourself, e.g. when the DPE asks about the AIRMET (around the 15 min. mark). Just answer the question. You don't have to volunteer that there are 3 types: the DPE didn't ask....if he wants to know, he will bring it up....
I think he is already a commercial pilot so they are just messing around here, but also feels like he should know this stuff in and out. But we forget stuff

Just remember… You cannot supply the airplane and services...period. If somebody owns an airplane and wants you to be their pilot… That is legal. If you supply the airplane and services you are going to need some sort of approval from the FAA such as a 135 certificate.
You actually CAN supply the airplane with no operational certificate. Must be by contract and seating under 20 and/ or payload under 6k lbs.....you would be under part 91....
@@robstrex You would be operating under part 91 rules. Part 91 does not refer to this. You can reference 14 CFR 110.2 to research a bit more into this.
@@lilfuzzy5908 You're citing private carriage, right? Even for private carriage an operator's certificate is required (which is different than being an air carrier). Providing the aircraft makes you more than just the PIC, it makes you the operator as well, hence needing operator's certificate. At least this is my understanding... happy to learn if I am mistaken...
@@BATAviation I passed my commercial checkride yesterday 2/24/23 !!👊🏻👊🏻 I can’t count how many times I watched this video heck sometimes I fell asleep to it haha thank you guys again!!
Btw, if I am not mistaken, @10:25 when you are talking about using the club airplane to fly paying passengers, can you do it? He says "no" which is correct, but then he says "it is a dry lease." I am pretty sure that would be a "wet lease" since they plane and pilot are coming together (not being procured separate). Am I mistaken?
RADIOACTIVEBUNY A couple areas that weren’t covered were constant speed propellers and turbo charge versus supercharged engine. I also think they were diving a little bit deeper on the systems portion. Good luck with your exam! I go September 7.
Here is an amazing article I found it really explains constant speed propellers and how they work in simple terms. www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/how-a-constant-speed-prop-works/
Bevin and Tom Aviation oral was practically just a formality with my score and knowledge. Maybe a half hour. Had to discontinue on account of missing logs that were misplaced after I had checked the day prior. Postponed for weather after that and finally got it done with an hour and a half flight that went fine. Pays to fret the details I guess.
Nice video. Love the positive atmosphere. I think you are mixing your ELT requirements at 32min. It is one hour of cumulative use and 50% useful life which is a date check, not a use check.
If there is no Common Purpose for the flight with the scuba divers, then the flight could not be operated with prop rata cost sharing. Pro rata still needs common purpose, correct me if I'm wrong.
Woah! that was fast... 1 hour oral... I made mine with a 4 hour oral and 2 hour flight for multi commercial. and did my end of course at school with a 6 hour oral....
My oral for ppl was also 6 hours, that was super tough... Those dpe's asked me absolutely everything... The hard part is that after the oral you go already exhausted for the flight check ride.
@@jamesg5615 Fantastic and good luck! When you have time you should browse through other videos we have. After you pass, there’s a multi engine oral exam and some certified flight instructor material as well. Good luck!
It’s worth mentioning that an instrument rating alone does not mean you have met the 10 hours of instrument training required in 61.127 for the commercial rating. There is a letter of interpretation about this which clarifies that unless the instrument training logged met the requirements for part 61.127 and is clearly documented OR the applicant receives 10 more additional hours of instrument training which does cover 61.127 with a CFII, then the applicant has not met the aeronautical experience requirements listed under part 61.129 for commercial pilots. I couldn’t start my commercial initial checkride because of this requirement.

Medicals don’t “turn into” anything your privileges just change, its still labeled as a first class whether your 1 month into the medical or 22 Months into it. Hope this helps.
Skyvector has charts with a legend. It would be great to see another one of these with a mock student pilot that is not so cavalier. If you are acting confident and make mistakes its one thing. Acting cavalier and making mistakes? You don't look so cool. I have taken many check rides. Never met a DPE that thought anything was funny.
My instrument rating DPE was ATP, A&P, rotorcraft and airplane, flew corporate jets and been FO on RJs. The dude was a big time joker during my checkride. Talking about alternate airfield characteristics in his words “like choosing a prom date”. Long runway = desirable dress, towered field = mentally not crazy. Called all his applicants “captain”. He did all that to make the person feel better and more at ease. Lots of politically incorrect humor to boot. :-)
Flights arriving from or flying to a destination outside the U.S. must electronically transmit the following information to the CBP: Traveler manifest information for each person on board Notice of arrival information Notice of departure information The information must be received by the CBP no less than 60 minutes prior to takeoff for flights departing from or arriving in the U.S.
Amazing! Last question was 6 types of spatial disorientation right? Including leans, coriolis illusion, graveyard spiral, somatogravic illusion, inversion illusion, elevator illusion.
The first commercial scenario given was the pilot renting the aircraft from the club and getting paid $1000 for the flight. The student answered, "It's a dry lease." As for the fact that he is renting the aircraft (besides operational control), he is the one providing the aircraft; isn't that a 'wet lease'?
The statement that the aircraft uses a horizontally-opposed engine for spark plug access is not really accurate. The #1 reason is that flat fours (and sixes) have perfect primary and secondary balance, so they run smooth and don't impart excessive vibration to the airframe. They also have a small frontal cross section, which allows for a more streamlined cowling.
I have a question: I noticed when asking about overflying the aircraft after exceeding 100 hrs but not to exceed 10 hrs over the 100 hr you mentioned a special flight permit is needed. I can’t find anywhere in the FAR AIM where it states you have to have a ferry permit for that, could someone guide me to the regulation where it states that please?
I agree. I think that was answered incorrectly. 14 CFR § 91.409 says you can overfly it by 10 hours to reposition it for repairs, so you won't need a special flight permit in that case.
Excellent video very helpful. The only problem I have is around 42:00 a personal irritation for me. The change in Va with weight is pure urban legend, seemingly parroted without real understanding. (Made worse by the false authority of an acompanying math function.) The issue likely originated with someone that didn't fully understand how to interpret the intent of an old FAA design requirement (possibly coupled with poor or incomplete wording and definitions by the FAA). The plane does not get weaker as it gets lighter, nor does the maximum aerodynamic force change with mass. (There are some inertial considerations in large aircraft but those go up with mass not down and would be specificly called out by the engineers in the manual.) Aerodynamic force determines the actual load on the frame, and stall will limit the lift coefficient. Lift coefficient and dynamic pressure(CAS) determine aerodynamic force. If short on time you can stop the analysis right there, gross mass is not involved in any of that and because the wing shape is fixed the only variable in maximum total airframe load is CAS. Maneuvering speed is derived from "*design* load factor" not actual load factor. (Load factor being a specific representation of acceleration useful on Earth.) "Load factor" is not total load it is only one ...factor in the the load. *Design* load factor is not a maximum, it is a reference point coupled with desired maximum takeoff weight for determining required minimum strength of the frame. The stress imposed on structural members is a product of mass and acceleration. The structure only cares about the total; 2 mass and 5 acceleration, or 5 mass and 2 acceleration are experienced as exactly the same load and resulting stress in the frame. For slightly more detailed derivation of the physics go to the FAA web page for handbooks and get "Aerodynamic for naval aviators" Chapter 5 Strength Limits (starts pg-325/pdf-343) Note that the limit load factor changes with mass, but the product is always the same total wing load and thus the same Va.
1:08:39 hmmm I thought the fuel requirement is a takeoff requirement and you can land inside that fuel reserve. there is not landing fuel requirement or so I thought…. Can you clarify thanks!
Not sure what you were asking, but yes, the fuel requirement is part of your pre-flight . You want to make sure before you takeoff that you have enough fuel to get to your destination and enough reserve to satisfy the day/night fuel requirements of either 30 minutes or 45 minutes And/or alternate fuel minimum requirements if applicable.
Thank you for great video. I have one question about eight's on pylon maneuver. I know there are some method to set up the maneuver like calculating time from pylon to pylon to make sure 3 - 5 seconds straight flight. Does DPE evaluate the process how candidate set up for this maneuver? Or they can just guesstimate the distance between the two pylons and start the maneuver?
I recommend having your two pylons pre-picked before the check ride. If that does not work, then I was told by the DPE that did my CFI checkride that each pylon should be 20 seconds apart from each other that is approximately half a mile and distance. So you would pick one pylon, fly over it for 20 seconds, and then pick the second pylon. Exit the pylon so that you can re-enter the maneuver downwind at 1000 feet at maneuvering speed.. Then you calculate your pivotal altitude (groundspeed squared divided by 11.3.). When shoe come up with your pivotal altitude, you will circle back around to enter the maneuver down once again. You will enter your first pile on to the left at a 45° angle from downwind. setting up, this maneuver is very long and can be tedious but the pilot examiner is going to be judging how you set it up and execute it more than the actual maneuver itself. take your time!!!
Great video! However, on more than one occasion you appeared to be digging yourself in a hole lol it’s advisable to always answer the exact question you were asked! You want to be confident but not to the point where you come across as a know it all which is a very bad first impression. An other reason is sometimes you simply do not know the answer to the follow up questions, since they’re more often than not in depth. Just sayin

CG is ideally slightly in *front* of the center of lift, as this placement of the weight allows for easier stall recoveries and to better assist the variable nose-up/down forces from the elevator with returning to a trimmed condition from a disturbed state

At 40:15
On Induction Icing:
This is an icing over of the opening for the engine intake. Not enough air gets to the engine as a result.
There is a cool story about this in the book Fate is the Hunter where they intentionally backfire the engine to blow the induction icing off the intakes.
Some aircraft also have alternate air sources in the case that this occurs.
I’ll check it our! Thanks
@@BATAviation If you look many ww2 aircraft have mesh over air or oil cooler intakes, but stand off so if blocked, they don't starve the air flow. Also carb. heat bypasses filter so can be used if filter blocked.
This combined with you multi-video have been very useful. Taking my Multi and Commercial checkride at the same time in two weeks.
Glad to hear we could help! Be on the look out for CFI videos after you pass your check ride. I know you’re going to do great! Thanks for subscribing!
@@BATAviation Hey thanks so much, out of curiosity, what airport are you guys based out of? I keep hearing florida but just wondering.
@@FlyingGrimaud We are based out of Orlando Sanford International- Sanford Florida!
@@BATAviation Year and a half later, passed my multi, single engine land and sea commercial, now a CFI/CFII. This video is what I send all of my commercial applicants to study. It was almost 1 for 1 identical to my commercial ride. Only difference was I did multi first so I had some multi questions.
@@FlyingGrimaud that is amazing! What a testament! Thank you very much for the feedback. We appreciate your support. Great job on your ratings.
Great content. One thing I would add is that it's better to just answer the question, then stop talking! Don't dig a check ride hole for yourself, e.g. when the DPE asks about the AIRMET (around the 15 min. mark). Just answer the question. You don't have to volunteer that there are 3 types: the DPE didn't ask....if he wants to know, he will bring it up....
We agree that sometimes the less you say, the better!
I think he is already a commercial pilot so they are just messing around here, but also feels like he should know this stuff in and out. But we forget stuff
You are right but. It Was useful to knows he answer about the 3 types.
You also cannot rent an airplane and provide services because that comes down to an operational control issue.
This is a super well edited video with a ton of information! Thank You!!
Thank you!
This video boosted my confidence! Thanks! Checkride scheduled for day after tomorrow.
Good luck!!!
Come back and let us know how you did!

Just remember… You cannot supply the airplane and services...period. If somebody owns an airplane and wants you to be their pilot… That is legal. If you supply the airplane and services you are going to need some sort of approval from the FAA such as a 135 certificate.
We do our best with zero rewards! Hope you can like and subscribe!
You actually CAN supply the airplane with no operational certificate. Must be by contract and seating under 20 and/ or payload under 6k lbs.....you would be under part 91....
@@lilfuzzy5908 looking to actually do this. Where in 91 did u see that I can supply the airplane
@@robstrex You would be operating under part 91 rules. Part 91 does not refer to this. You can reference 14 CFR 110.2 to research a bit more into this.
@@lilfuzzy5908 You're citing private carriage, right? Even for private carriage an operator's certificate is required (which is different than being an air carrier). Providing the aircraft makes you more than just the PIC, it makes you the operator as well, hence needing operator's certificate. At least this is my understanding... happy to learn if I am mistaken...

13:23 if you're flying over FL during the summer there is going to be a convective sigmet issued... That doesn't mean you need to stay away from it.
Btw, if I am not mistaken, @10:25 when you are talking about using the club airplane to fly paying passengers, can you do it? He says "no" which is correct, but then he says "it is a dry lease." I am pretty sure that would be a "wet lease" since they plane and pilot are coming together (not being procured separate). Am I mistaken?
You are correct. There is an error in the video. Thanks for watching!
Good catch, noticed that too. Noticed a lot of incorrect answers. Lol
Well I could answer pretty much all of that. Guess I'm ready for Tuesday.
RADIOACTIVEBUNY A couple areas that weren’t covered were constant speed propellers and turbo charge versus supercharged engine. I also think they were diving a little bit deeper on the systems portion. Good luck with your exam! I go September 7.

Hey! Just checking to see how your commercial checkride went…
Bevin and Tom Aviation oral was practically just a formality with my score and knowledge. Maybe a half hour. Had to discontinue on account of missing logs that were misplaced after I had checked the day prior. Postponed for weather after that and finally got it done with an hour and a half flight that went fine.
Pays to fret the details I guess.
RADIOACTIVEBUNY congratulations on your P!!! on to multi now? I start mine on the 19th.
Nice video. Love the positive atmosphere. I think you are mixing your ELT requirements at 32min. It is one hour of cumulative use and 50% useful life which is a date check, not a use check.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I hope you can subscribe to our channel to help support us!
If there is no Common Purpose for the flight with the scuba divers, then the flight could not be operated with prop rata cost sharing. Pro rata still needs common purpose, correct me if I'm wrong.
Gorgeous video, many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Woah! that was fast... 1 hour oral... I made mine with a 4 hour oral and 2 hour flight for multi commercial. and did my end of course at school with a 6 hour oral....
The oral was actually longer but we added it out parts of it that were non-essential.
Four hours seems extremely long o me for a commercial oral.
My oral for ppl was also 6 hours, that was super tough... Those dpe's asked me absolutely everything... The hard part is that after the oral you go already exhausted for the flight check ride.

It’s worth mentioning that an instrument rating alone does not mean you have met the 10 hours of instrument training required in 61.127 for the commercial rating. There is a letter of interpretation about this which clarifies that unless the instrument training logged met the requirements for part 61.127 and is clearly documented OR the applicant receives 10 more additional hours of instrument training which does cover 61.127 with a CFII, then the applicant has not met the aeronautical experience requirements listed under part 61.129 for commercial pilots. I couldn’t start my commercial initial checkride because of this requirement.
Call me ocd but I'm not sure the applicant could have taken smaller drinks of water even if he used an eye dropper.
Super helpful video! Thx
LOL
This was a great video - great questions, and damn was that applicant prepared. I hope I can nail it like he did! Thanks for sharing... very helpful!

Skyvector has charts with a legend. It would be great to see another one of these with a mock student pilot that is not so cavalier. If you are acting confident and make mistakes its one thing. Acting cavalier and making mistakes? You don't look so cool. I have taken many check rides. Never met a DPE that thought anything was funny.
My instrument rating DPE was ATP, A&P, rotorcraft and airplane, flew corporate jets and been FO on RJs. The dude was a big time joker during my checkride. Talking about alternate airfield characteristics in his words “like choosing a prom date”. Long runway = desirable dress, towered field = mentally not crazy. Called all his applicants “captain”. He did all that to make the person feel better and more at ease.
Lots of politically incorrect humor to boot. :-)
Yeah this guys a nonce
Flights arriving from or flying to a destination outside the U.S. must electronically transmit the following information to the CBP:
Traveler manifest information for each person on board
Notice of arrival information
Notice of departure information
The information must be received by the CBP no less than 60 minutes prior to takeoff for flights departing from or arriving in the U.S.

Around 41:30, the airbus is “fly by wire”
Yep
Amazing! Last question was 6 types of spatial disorientation right? Including leans, coriolis illusion, graveyard spiral, somatogravic illusion, inversion illusion, elevator illusion.
Yes! Very important to know
Here i was yelling “fly by wire!!!” Hahahaha. Awesome stuff
Midnight_run22 thanks!
The first commercial scenario given was the pilot renting the aircraft from the club and getting paid $1000 for the flight. The student answered, "It's a dry lease." As for the fact that he is renting the aircraft (besides operational control), he is the one providing the aircraft; isn't that a 'wet lease'?
The statement that the aircraft uses a horizontally-opposed engine for spark plug access is not really accurate. The #1 reason is that flat fours (and sixes) have perfect primary and secondary balance, so they run smooth and don't impart excessive vibration to the airframe. They also have a small frontal cross section, which allows for a more streamlined cowling.
Ty for the info!
I have a question: I noticed when asking about overflying the aircraft after exceeding 100 hrs but not to exceed 10 hrs over the 100 hr you mentioned a special flight permit is needed. I can’t find anywhere in the FAR AIM where it states you have to have a ferry permit for that, could someone guide me to the regulation where it states that please?
14 CFR 21.197.....has to be flown to maintenance station.
I agree. I think that was answered incorrectly. 14 CFR § 91.409 says you can overfly it by 10 hours to reposition it for repairs, so you won't need a special flight permit in that case.
Bottom line, after the 110hrs is when you’ll need a ferry permit
Great video, Tom and Ayler !!!

Excellent video very helpful.
The only problem I have is around 42:00 a personal irritation for me. The change in Va with weight is pure urban legend, seemingly parroted without real understanding. (Made worse by the false authority of an acompanying math function.) The issue likely originated with someone that didn't fully understand how to interpret the intent of an old FAA design requirement (possibly coupled with poor or incomplete wording and definitions by the FAA).
The plane does not get weaker as it gets lighter, nor does the maximum aerodynamic force change with mass. (There are some inertial considerations in large aircraft but those go up with mass not down and would be specificly called out by the engineers in the manual.)
Aerodynamic force determines the actual load on the frame, and stall will limit the lift coefficient. Lift coefficient and dynamic pressure(CAS) determine aerodynamic force. If short on time you can stop the analysis right there, gross mass is not involved in any of that and because the wing shape is fixed the only variable in maximum total airframe load is CAS.
Maneuvering speed is derived from "*design* load factor" not actual load factor. (Load factor being a specific representation of acceleration useful on Earth.) "Load factor" is not total load it is only one ...factor in the the load. *Design* load factor is not a maximum, it is a reference point coupled with desired maximum takeoff weight for determining required minimum strength of the frame. The stress imposed on structural members is a product of mass and acceleration. The structure only cares about the total; 2 mass and 5 acceleration, or 5 mass and 2 acceleration are experienced as exactly the same load and resulting stress in the frame.
For slightly more detailed derivation of the physics go to the FAA web page for handbooks and get "Aerodynamic for naval aviators" Chapter 5 Strength Limits (starts pg-325/pdf-343)
Note that the limit load factor changes with mass, but the product is always the same total wing load and thus the same Va.
So your saying VA doesn’t change with weight?? And is urban legend… that’s an absolutely absurd statement
1:08:39 hmmm I thought the fuel requirement is a takeoff requirement and you can land inside that fuel reserve. there is not landing fuel requirement or so I thought…. Can you clarify thanks!
Not sure what you were asking, but yes, the fuel requirement is part of your pre-flight . You want to make sure before you takeoff that you have enough fuel to get to your destination and enough reserve to satisfy the day/night fuel requirements of either 30 minutes or 45 minutes And/or alternate fuel minimum requirements if applicable.
With this attitude he will get under a lot of DPE skin!
Thank you for great video. I have one question about eight's on pylon maneuver. I know there are some method to set up the maneuver like calculating time from pylon to pylon to make sure 3 - 5 seconds straight flight. Does DPE evaluate the process how candidate set up for this maneuver? Or they can just guesstimate the distance between the two pylons and start the maneuver?
I recommend having your two pylons pre-picked before the check ride. If that does not work, then I was told by the DPE that did my CFI checkride that each pylon should be 20 seconds apart from each other that is approximately half a mile and distance. So you would pick one pylon, fly over it for 20 seconds, and then pick the second pylon. Exit the pylon so that you can re-enter the maneuver downwind at 1000 feet at maneuvering speed.. Then you calculate your pivotal altitude (groundspeed squared divided by 11.3.). When shoe come up with your pivotal altitude, you will circle back around to enter the maneuver down once again. You will enter your first pile on to the left at a 45° angle from downwind. setting up, this maneuver is very long and can be tedious but the pilot examiner is going to be judging how you set it up and execute it more than the actual maneuver itself. take your time!!!
@@BATAviation Thank you so much for the reply!
@@wueong454 no problem! Thanks for subscribing and supporting my channel!
Great video! However, on more than one occasion you appeared to be digging yourself in a hole lol it’s advisable to always answer the exact question you were asked! You want to be confident but not to the point where you come across as a know it all which is a very bad first impression. An other reason is sometimes you simply do not know the answer to the follow up questions, since they’re more often than not in depth. Just sayin
Thanks for the feedback and yes we agree that you should try not to dig yourself into a hole during your check ride! If you liked this video then subscribe to our channel. We have many other ground school and flight maneuver videos available to you.
