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

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.

Yeah but a lot of them aren't going to be good matured about it... Be positive and don't be a clown. BTW, some SFAR's cover limited weights over 12,500. SW2 at 14,000 for example remains single pilot without TR, some MSN's to 14,500. 33:37 the word you are looking for is "convective" aka popcorn, not to be confused with a line of *&^$@$#%!^ AND,. at 44:00 you won't want to start babbling or throwing stuff at the wall to the DPE. Here just set a reference the ensuing discussion so he know you understand - couch it all in terms of ISA. 48:15? I can't keep doing this. Did he pass?
Had my oral exam last Saturday. I tried not to smile because there were a lot of questions right off this video. I studied until my wife and son practically begged me to go take it

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.
Comments are true but we all have personality differences and things we can work on. Let's give it to this guy for being very prepared and knowledgeable. This is a great mock oral both on his performance and for us viewers.
Thanks for watching. Looking forward to hearing your feedback after your check ride. Subscribe to our channel… I just uploaded a new video for certified flight instructor and we have plenty of multi engine videos on maneuvers and ground school if you’re moving forward after commercial.
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. Nonetheless they cover lots of good information and it helped a lot, thanks for the time stamps as well!

Check rides are open book exams, of course if the applicant has to look up every question that’s obviously a problem. DPE’s aren’t looking for perfection but just want to make sure you know where to look up the info utilizing FAA documents like the FAR/AIM or your aircraft’s POH.
32:43 Your avionics shop will test the battery with a voltmeter and they have a chart that tells them if the battery is under 1/2 of it's useful life. So the answer is, check with maintenance or check the maintenance logs. Source - I was an avionics tech in the Air Force on KC-135s. lol
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 👌
wanted to come back here to say thank you for the laugh and the knowledge. i watched this video maybe 3- 4 times and i swear my commercial checkride was so similar to this one i had so much fun on the checkride i loved it im happy to say im a commercial pilot thanks to this mock checkride now going to watch your multi video and i will come back here when i pass :]

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 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
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!
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.
Appreciate you posting this mock commercial oral online. I’m about three weeks away from mine, and I think this was very helpful. I’m a subscriber now thanks!
Thank you very much and we appreciate to hear about your results very soon! Be on the lookout for multi engine reading and CF I as I move forward on my own aviation journey. Much love

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
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. :-)
Congratulations!! What’s next? Multi? We have a mock oral exam for multi engine for you to check out and some maneuvers videos. Thanks for subscribing :-)
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 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!!
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.
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?
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.
Thank you for the positive feedback! Are you working on your commercial rating? I would love to hear how your exam goes! We also have multi engine maneuvers videos available and a multi mock oral exam coming soon along with information on how to approach a CFI oral exam. Thank you for subscribing!
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.
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.
It's important to note that an IFR rating alone does *not* satisfy 10 hours of hood time required for the CPL by default. The 10 hours must specifically include recovering from unusual attitudes and partial panel flying. If you covered these requirements as part of your IFR training then it must be logged as such in order to satisfy the requirements of 61.129.
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.
@@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!
This was the most professional video of this content available on YT….up until the point there were two people eating right next to the mic for a good period of time and it became unwatchable. Imagine trying to learn something with people chewing right next to your ear. Unfortunately, now it’s right up there with the guys who had joke answers for everything.
Starving for more? , get ready to “take a bite” out of our multi-engine oral exam coming in a few days! Sorry - no chewing included in this one. Thanks for subscribing!
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.
Amazing! Last question was 6 types of spatial disorientation right? Including leans, coriolis illusion, graveyard spiral, somatogravic illusion, inversion illusion, elevator illusion.
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.
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.
it was a really helpful viedo. I am an international student and just waiting for check ride. Hope he would same question what your dpe asked to you lol . Anyway, great joobbbbb
배호준 That would be “holding out.” You need to be hired by an actual company in order to collect a fee and be paid as a pilot but you can collect pro rata share of fuel, rental expenses, landing fees and such. It has to be less than 50%. They just cannot pay you as a pilot to fly the aircraft. Does that help?
Bevin and Tom Aviation Ah so you mean I should have belong to commercial operator which mean i cannot solely carry passenger for compensation. Is this right?
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.

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.
I’m a commercial helicopter ticket holder doing my sel commercial add on. Def a good refresher great video!
Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for subscribing
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!
Thanks for the positive feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it
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.
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/
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.
If you listen really close at 20:14 you can hear Bevin say "Oh my Godddd" 😂
Lol! I keep trying to listen for it but cannot hear it!
Appreciate you posting this mock commercial oral online. I’m about three weeks away from mine, and I think this was very helpful. I’m a subscriber now thanks!
Thank you very much and we appreciate to hear about your results very soon! Be on the lookout for multi engine reading and CF I as I move forward on my own aviation journey. Much love
How’d you do?

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

Agree
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

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.

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
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.
@@predatorec Where are you from? My private pilot oral exam was 90 minutes.
@@BATAviation went from 0 to hero in Florida at Aviator College
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!

@S L stay tuned!!! :-)
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
Gorgeous video, many thanks!

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.
this examiner is hilarious
That’s Tom! Lol
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.
Thank you for posting this
You’re welcome!
@@BATAviation got my commercial 12-11-2020 helped so much
@@jorgeluissantos77 congratulations!!!
It's important to note that an IFR rating alone does *not* satisfy 10 hours of hood time required for the CPL by default. The 10 hours must specifically include recovering from unusual attitudes and partial panel flying. If you covered these requirements as part of your IFR training then it must be logged as such in order to satisfy the requirements of 61.129.
This is incorrect. Some DPE’s even get this mixed up. But this isn’t correct
Thank you for this video. Super helpful
You’re welcome!! Thank YOU for subscribing!
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.

This was the most professional video of this content available on YT….up until the point there were two people eating right next to the mic for a good period of time and it became unwatchable. Imagine trying to learn something with people chewing right next to your ear. Unfortunately, now it’s right up there with the guys who had joke answers for everything.
Starving for more? , get ready to “take a bite” out of our multi-engine oral exam coming in a few days! Sorry - no chewing included in this one. Thanks for subscribing!
Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t stand the chewing. I had to skip a large section of this video
If you are watching this in 2023 Registration is now good for 7 YEARS.
Yes. That’s important to note.
nicely done.
thank you! :-)
7 Years now for valid aircraft registration. Part 47 Title 14 FAR.
This is correct
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'?
Nicely done!
R N thanks!!
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!
Great video, Tom and Ayler !!!
Are you getting all boned up for your next rating??
@Bevin and Tom Aviation Yes I am LOL, I watched the PPL mock now this one... love it ...

Yes! Very important to know
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.

Great video and very informative. Just wish they weren't eating in the middle of it..
Yeah… We’re not professionals lol
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
it was a really helpful viedo. I am an international student and just waiting for check ride. Hope he would same question what your dpe asked to you lol .
Anyway, great joobbbbb
배호준 Thank you for the compliment! We really hope this helps you go along your journey. Good luck.
Bevin and Tom Aviation Actually I have qustion with pro rata share. Why is it illegal to get paid when you rent an airplane and give them a ride?
배호준 That would be “holding out.” You need to be hired by an actual company in order to collect a fee and be paid as a pilot but you can collect pro rata share of fuel, rental expenses, landing fees and such. It has to be less than 50%. They just cannot pay you as a pilot to fly the aircraft. Does that help?
Bevin and Tom Aviation Ah so you mean I should have belong to commercial operator which mean i cannot solely carry passenger for compensation. Is this right?
배호준 You can fly private carriage as long as you have someone that has operational control of the aircraft and it’s to limited customers
Registrations expire 7 years not 3
That’s true. You are correct! We took this video before they change that regulation.
