MEI Questions

[Immune83]

I'm getting my MEI soon, should be an easy ride BUT...

1. Any advice you wish you would have known before hand?
2. How was your check ride, what maneuvers did you have to do?
3. What questions were you asked in the oral?
4. Was everything as expected or were you thrown a curve ball?

Thanks

Where you doing your training at? What type of plane you doing it in? How nice is that King Air GTi? They look amazing.

At Clydes in Arlington probably in a BE-95.

The Gti is freakin sweet, I wish they had the Garmin G1000 package but we have the Collins ProLine 21 instead, still very good but not as user friendly imo.

C'mon people, who has an MEI gouge...

It's called the PTS, if you haven't forgotten.

Bascially, it's a MEL ride with a drag demo. Load up the plane with drag (gear flaps, etc.) and demonstrate the effects.

I was waiting for someone else to state that lol.

make sure you stuff your foot behind the rudder on the vmc demo.....

Just trim it out don't make your life harder.

I had to demonstrate ground reference maneuvers...had never done them in a twin.

During my Comm Multi I had to do unusual attitudes. That was definetly not in the PTS.
