More terrified of the checkride after watching this. Currently at 45 hours wondering how anyone manages to get licensed under 100 hours..
Don’t be terrified :-) is a bit nerve racking but you do fine ;-). I just did my instrument ride on Monday but only got through the oral portion because of weather. So I’m having to live through it twice for one ride! lol
@@NorthwestAeronaut Im at 93 and some change, but I feel like it could happen anytime
I’m at 47 hours, checkride would be the next ride so brushing up on what I can before this nightmare begins.
I’m at 120hrs just took written but your right a 3hr oral crap
@@chrisbeber9177 I just passed my check ride on Sunday. Was at around 80 hours. It was way easier and more forgiving than I expected. 1.5 hour oral and 1.5 hour flight. It seems it can vary pretty wildly between examiners..
Doesn't have to be perfect. Not every examiner will be as stringent or as detailed as the other. For all you people reading this about to take your ride. You are gonna do fine just treat it like another day of flying and you will do great. Cheers.
Excellent explanation of the checkride. Thank you. I’m just passed my written and look forward to flight training.
Thank you for sharing! I’m getting ready for my solo check and this helped. 👍😎
Awesome recap, thank you!
Awesome summary. To the point. I have my checkride in 6 weeks. Can't wait but I feel ready.
I’m sure you’ll do great! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you very much for sharing. I’m preparing for my Checkride. Congratulations!
Thank you, Johnnie! I'm about ready to take my IFR check ride too, so I know how you're feeling! haha Good luck on yours!
I've watched this video half a dozen times. My check ride is in 2 weeks. Thanks for putting this up.
Me too I am taking notes mines in 3 weeks how did your go
29:37. Weight lifted 💯. Congrats bro. And man, thanks for sharing your experience!
Haha absolutely! Thank you and thanks for watching!
This is a great video, i'm currently at 42 hours into my PPL and have to knock out my two XC solo's within the next two weeks and then fly with my instructor for about a week and then schedule my checkride! Great tips and one that stood out to me that my instructor imprints on me every time we fly is ALWAYS USE YOUR CHECKLIST! As easy at is seems it's one of the most forgotten items and a lot of DPE's will fail you for something so simple, even if you have it memorized to a T!
On my checkride day the hood was my only difficulty. It was a turbulent day and my practice was always on smooth days. I've had my license 36 years but identity with your difficult hood experience.
Really good video. Useful for me as I prep for my checkride!
Glad to hear it! I’m sure you’ll do great! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for this, mine is coming up. Possibly on 12/13
Thank you, very helpful video.
Good luck to you, great video.
Thank you!
Thanks Sam!
My Checkride is tomorrow. Thank you for this video
Awesome! How did it go!?
Congrats!
Check ride in T -2 weeks. Not going to lie... nervous. I’m definitely nervous. I really appreciate you posting this and being very detailed about it. At least I’ve got my written knocked out. I just passed it this last Tuesday.
You'll do great Matt! I just finished up my IFR ticket TODAY! So I know what you're going through all too well haha. Let me know how it goes!
@@NorthwestAeronaut holy smokes!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
@@VictoryAviation Thank you!
Thanks for doing this!
This was helpful thank you.
Appreciate this video as I have my check ride in two weeks and stressed about it. Great pointers!
Right on, man! You’ll do great! Let me know how it goes! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@NorthwestAeronaut meant to reply a while ago, passed and enjoying my new freedom! One thing my DPE did that was interesting was he failed my GPS and iPad (with ForeFlight) and I had to use my paper chart and plotter to divert. Thanks again for the videos as they helped prepare me.
@@stephendunn22 way to go man! Congrats! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Glad you went through what you were thinking. Checkride next week and Im very nervous
How did it go!?
Congrats and thanks for the recap! I'm at 23 hrs. towards my PPL.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Checkride is in 2 days! Thanks for the info!! Wish me luck & congrats on your instrument rating as well!
Awesome! Good luck, Jordan! I'm sure you'll do great! let me know how it goes! Thank you! :D
Amazing vid
Thank you for sharing your experience. My checkride is in a couple weeks and this video certainly has helped.
Fantastic! Glad it was helpful and be sure to let me know how it goes!
Insanely helpful video! I’m nearing my ppl checkride, and I’m honestly terrified
glad it was helpful! Don't be terrified. You'll do fine! Remember it's just a "check" ride. . .not a test ride or exam ride. . they're just "checking" to make sure you know what you're doing :)
Thank you. I’m in Canada and just finished first solo. But the written and flight test terrify me. But wa helpful to hear your experience.
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great information... I’m trying to learn as much as I can before my check ride.
Wonderful! When is your check ride? Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching!
@@NorthwestAeronaut I’m still early on in my training, so I’m a little ways off. However I’m trying to learn as much as I can now to prepare myself for the check ride. It was great to hear that you used fire flight on yours. That is my plan as well. I’m still learning on how to use it as proficiently as possible. A lot to learn but I love it. I’ll probably listen to this again when I get closer to my check ride :)
R.I.P.🙏
Thank you.
Hey man I want to thank you for posting this. It's reassuring knowing that you weren't perfect and you still passed. Well presented, subscribing to follow your future journey :). Have you started IFR training?
Appreciate it! And glad I could help :-) yeah I’m doing my ifr training and should hopefully be ready to take the checkride in either October or November here :-) thanks for watching!
Sounds like your DPE was pretty chill and only wanted to get through the minimum required. Congrats by the way.
Thank you! He definitely was laid back but ensured you knew the what you needed to know according to the acs. :)
The reason have problems with power on stalls is simple: The entry airspeed is too high. Think rotation speed minus a little. That's where a power on stall is likely to occur.
Got my checkride today 7/8/23... wish me luck guys!! Thanks for the video!!!!
I’m sure you did great! How’d it go!? Lol
@@NorthwestAeronaut I passed!!! Similar experience like yours
Right on man! Way to go! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@NorthwestAeronaut thank you! Your video helped alot
Thank you! :)
Definitely nervous about my checkride
Nerves are good. They keep you on your game :-). You’ll do great!
I bet it seemed like it took forever to fuel the aircraft after the check-ride.
Was he quizzing you on airspace or weather minimums during the flight portion?
This was very helpful. I am 23 days away and both stressed and fatigued. Thanks for the video sir!
So glad it was helpful! You'll do great. You have to mess up big time to actually fail. . so don't worry about all the small mistakes you'll make haha
u pass bro?
@@presleycosta4127 I did, on 10/24. First flight as PP is tonight, for a tour of downtown Dallas (hopefully into the Bravo).
Derek Aviation nice! My checkride is on nov 20 on my 17th birthday I’m stressed out and nervous feel like I’m gonna accidentally mess something up
Congrats Derek and good luck Presley costa! I’m sure you’ll do great :)
Congrats!! Close to scheduling mine here in AZ. My training is hit or miss on my maneuvers, and my CFI wants perfection. Prior to your check-ride did you go out solo to practice maneuvers and landings?
That’s great, Mark. I’m sure you’ll do great. Sure, I went out and practiced on my own, but really it’s important to go out with another CFI or two that you don’t normally fly with. That way you get their insight and you get used to flying with people you’re not used to, which is the same as a checkride :-). And I’m sure your CFI is meaning well, and certainly perfection is a good goal, but remember it’s not attainable, nor is it required. As my DPE says, “perfection isn’t the standard - the standard is the standard.” So just go by the ACS and you’ll be good to go :-)
@@NorthwestAeronaut Thanks! Definitely gonna go up with another instructor.
howd you do?
I haven’t solo yet but this is very helpful
Thank you and I’m glad it was helpful! I’m sure you’ll be soloing in no time and let me know when you do! :)
@@NorthwestAeronaut I soloed!, rewatch because my Checkride is next week and I'll let you know how it goes!
@@rumeisamaresha4709 that’s fantastic! Congratulations and yes please! Let me know how the check ride goes! I’m sure you’ll do great! 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@NorthwestAeronaut I just passed my private pilot Checkride 2 days ago!
@@rumeisamaresha4709 Woooohoooo!! Way to go! Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment! Fly safe and on to instrument now! :D
Steep turn problem may have been down draft or maybe wind shear.
man pretty funny how you described how the DPE slid your cert over Congrats! Still, got a few weeks to go and I'm super nervous what do you recommend for both the written and practical?
Thank you, and I’m sure you’ll do great! Just make sure you’re as prepared as you can be and chances are it will be easier than you think it will be :-) check out Shepard air for the written prep:-)
@@NorthwestAeronaut I Finally Passed my checkride I watched your video over and over and over again was a big help
@@hotstart2144 dude that’s awesome! Congratulations! I’m glad my video was helpful! Nice job and on to instrument training! :)
Steep turn, could have been some down draft or wind shear.
Just got my PPL yesterday. It was very easy. The oral lasted under an hour, the flight portion lasted about 2 hours though. So 3 hours total.
I was taught that the engine fire descent is straight down at Vno.
That’s one way to do it. The thing with that is 1. Banking maintains positive load on the airplane and 2. It allows you to see better by deflecting smoke to the side and giving you a clear view of where you’re actually diving to so you don’t hit any other aircraft. 👍
@Northwest Aeronaut Did you have to calculate times and fuel between waypoints on the cross country simulation? Or show a paper nav chart for it?
Hey Jon. For the diversion it’s usually something general and quickly calculated in your head. So for instance the examiner will say divert me to this airport that’s 10 miles away. if your speed is 100 miles an hour you know in your head that you would go 10 miles in six minutes and then from there you can calculate how much fuel you use in six minutes. let’s just say you burn 8 gallons an hour then you would probably burn less than a gallon so you could just say it’ll take me a gallon to get there. Hope that helps!
Oh sorry I just noticed you weren’t talking about the diversion. But yes you’d calculate all that out on the nav log ahead of time :-)
@@NorthwestAeronaut Thanks I was curious if he made you whip out the E6B for the first three check points and check that to your nav-log. It seems that he didn't for your check ride?
@@JonMulveyGuitar correct. I don’t recall him asking me to demonstrate using the E6B during the check ride. But obviously you need to be able to use it ;-)
@@NorthwestAeronaut I can. But I just wanted to know if it was expected on the check ride. Just more stress. Haha! Thanks for your feedback and content!
Its a License to learn.
Check ride is 2 Sept and feel overwhelmed……
Nah man you got this! Just go in and do what you’ve always done with your instructor. Remember, you’re already a pilot, you’re just taking the dpe for a ride and showing off your skills ;-)
Checkride is in 2 days. So nervous about messing up on a maneuver and failing
I'm sure you'll do just fine! If I can get away with the steep turn I did, then you should do great! lol
ASEL Aviation steep turns are what I can’t get!
Did you pass?
@@stratussolutions yes I did! I nearly botched the short field but everything else went perfectly
@@jeremyrigi5254 Nice! I was super anxious but got my temporary the day after I posted!
That's a lot
Whats "GUMPS" for landings?
GUMPS is the pneumonic that stands for gas, undercarriage, mixture, prop, seatbelts. And I personally augment it to GUMPPSS which adds pumps and switches. :-)
@@dreadpilot1851 that works too. Everyone has their own version it seems lol. My current one is “GUMPPSSSCCF” 😆 gas undercarriage mixture prop pumps switches seatbelts speed brakes carb heat cowl flaps and flaps 😂
Why do you keep saying "miles per hour"?
Because that’s the unit of measurement we use for airspeed :-)
@@NorthwestAeronaut who is "we"? I use knots
@@kurtreber9813 “we” is anyone who flies a 150, or any other airplane that uses MPH :-). Many airplanes do including some 172s. And in Europe they use Kilometers. Nautical miles are typically the standard, but by no means the rule. 👍
@@NorthwestAeronaut I have heard of this, but it being rare I thought you were mis-speaking. I suppose as long as you do and think everything in statute miles it will all work out. Personally, I would have gone with the standard to avoid potential confusion by me or with others.
@@kurtreber9813 it’s not really a choice on my part. It’s just the way the airspeed indicator in the plane reads :-) half our planes are in knots and half of them are mph. I go back and forth between them every day from flight to flight. It just depends on the plane you’re flying. :-) 👍
hey.. videos are still visible from the playlists
Thanks
Not very pretty but good enough 😂 that’s how mine went also
Haha 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
They just want attention.
