The checkride begins! Let’s dig into the oral exam portion of the checkride. Were we prepared? Did it turn out like we expected? Most importantly, we’ll talk at length about the positives & what we actually enjoyed about the oral exam. If you have a checkride in your near future, we hope you take away some great advice and tips.

The final stages of preparing for a checkride usually involves three parts: studying for the oral exam, practicing for the flight portion, and organizing everything you need to have with you for the big day. Instructors are a necessity when prepping you for the oral exam and flight, but many fall short in adequately coaching us through the organization piece. Luckily for us and our recent commercial checkrides, we utilized a fresh-to-the-industry product that took the stress off of the organization. We’ll share about how Checkride Ace was an integral part of our preparation, and other ways we got ready for the big day.

There are some changes that were made in the FAA knowledge testing process in January. As we flew to Oahu for our commercial tests, this was our first experience after the changes were implemented. We’ll share how we prepared for the commercial written test, and hope you’ll pick up some good tips no matter which test you might be studying for.

Flying at night can be beautiful, thrilling and challenging at the same time. Flying fundamentals at night are the same, but there’s an added layer of vigilance and focus that must be maintained to fly safely at night. Here in Hawaii, flying at night might as well be flying in instrument conditions. With no sense of the horizon flying over the black open water, a good instrument scan is essential. On Episode 61 we’re flying at night for the first time in four years, and doing it in Hawaii!

Personal minimums are clearly defined, written down, and regularly updated tolerances you give yourself when making a go or no-go decision. Some people just think wind and visibility, but your minimums should extend even to proficiency, fuel, and maintenance issues. Your personal minimums are just that: personal. They’re tailored by you, and possibly with the help of your CFI, to your level of knowledge, skill and ability. The purpose of this exercise and sticking to them is to help you identify risks and possible stresses that could keep you from having a safe flight.

You have a dream to learn how to fly… but for whatever reason, maybe right now is not the right time to jump in the plane and begin lessons.  It could be that you’re too young or don’t have the money or time set aside yet for full time training. It could be that you live in an area with terrible winter weather, so you’re just counting the days until summer to start. Having to wait can be terribly frustrating. In fact, a lot of potential students walk away from the dream in the process of waiting.

 

On today’s episode we’re going to throw out some ideas how to make aviation a part of your life and prepare for flight training. Even if you’re playing the waiting game, you can get one step ahead in your planning and training, so when the time comes, you’ll be ahead of the curve.
