my way is easy to remember -- 4 g's in a car

plus it helps you remember them word for word from the FARs

The applicant will be required to demonstrate the use of the autopilot and/or FMS during one of the nonprecision approaches.

My DE didn't make me do a coupled approach. The plane had an AP.

Good luck. Just stay calm and relax. Fly like you know how to fly and talk about stuff you know about.

Well it is today.. and we will see how things go! BUt a couple questions...
What is the safe airpsace while holding?
And lets say you are on approach to runway 32 and they say circle south runway 14. Do I make my left turn south there and go all the way around the airport or to I veer right a bit so I am on a downwind to 14 then turn left for base to final which is the south part of it.

 

[johnpeace]

So, did you pass?

Now that it's over, I can tell you...if you don't feel prepared, why are you doing the checkride? I can't imagine going into an appointment with an examiner without the confidence that I know my stuff.

 

[cforst513]

this is true about 99% b/c you dont' want to blow the $300 or whatever the examiner costs!!!

 

[QuasarZ]

Well. I knew more stuff than I thought I did!! THe oral was pretty easy.. but I did not get to the flight portion due to the weahter.. I have to go back tomorrow morning to fly.

 

[blueraider]

best of luck in the morning...bit questionable on the Wx call...what was reported, stay loose and keep your cool, I guess I'll see the guy in the tie tommorow, just make sure you ask him if he wants to fly ... you'll do fine
