[bigbenno]

Has anyone ever had to take a 709 ride with the feds?

If so can you give me some insight on what it was like and what they were looking for exactly?

Thanks a million!!!

It is a checkride. Normally they do everything on the type ride or if it's not on the type they do the stuff on the checkride for the level of license you hold.

BUT it is up to the fed as to what he does. Normally they are done because you have had a problem, they may just check the problem area.

your toast

Why would they be looking for his toast? Can't the Feds afford to buy and make their own toast?


Are they looking for suggestions on differnet kinds of toast? Maybe they've heard of this 12-grain stuff and wanted to see if anyone else is making that kind of toast?

What about sourdough....oooohhhh....my favorite kind of toast. Slather some butter on there and gulp it down....good stuff.

"Your" is possessive. As in "Your time," or "Your airplane." "YOU'RE" uses a punctuation mark to denote a missing letter...as in the two words "you are."

Just remember:
Your=possessive.
You're="you are."

I did a 709 ride about 5 years ago not a big deal one landing and that was it. What happened that required a 709 ride that will usually vreflect on what to expect.

Or maybe not. . .

Get a copy of the ASA Oral Exam Guides for the ratings you hold. Expect every single one of them to be in question. If you over-prepare, great. If you don't, forget about living for awhile as you only get one more chance.

Be honest in your interviews, too. If at all possible, get the 709 ride to be over with BEFORE showing up on the airline's doorstep.

Basically, stop reading flightinfo and get started on the FAR/AIM, Aviation Weather, Aviation Weather Services, and the Airplane Flying Handbook. Put the oral exam guide in the bathroom you most frequent and spend some quality time in there.

Good luck!
