I asked my DPE to conduct the private pilot oral examination and the flight test one day apart and he agreed. That was in late 2001. Thank you again, sir.

"We don't rush candidate" -- oh, some of them do rush candidates (my own experience, and I am not slow one -- only because they might have another checkride after this one).

Thank-you for posting these. There was SO Much to see at Oshkosh 2021 some presentations and discussions just couldn't be seen.

Outstanding information as I'm a student pilot and have a upcoming Checkride in the near future.

Wonderful talk and thank you for posting these, AOPA - I hope I'm lucky enough to get one of them in my own test when the time comes.

This was really cool! I have always wanted to fly

Seems easier so far than getting into endurance race driver training.. But more paperwork.. My focus is the important stuff like "Seat Time"

Good discussion. @AOPALive - What might be nice is to include more information about the panelists in the description above.

There is no 100 hr limit for a plane you own and take lessons in using a contractor CFI unless you hire it out to a school. Yes, original docs for ARROW. If Sport Pilot or BasicMed the DL is the medical. How do you fix a mistake if you can't repeat the scenario where the mistake was made? Note the Cirrus behind them, I fly an SR22T. Under zero circumstances can the SR22T be landed without power. The ACS does not require detailed descriptions of preflight and post-flight briefings during training...for the DPE on the end to object to a date/title and sig only on training items is in appropriate and beyond the testing standards. If a candidate tells ATC "unable" if told to go-around and landed the plane, wanna bet ANY of these three would end the checkride there...and flunk the candidate? And they would be WRONG of course. If the PIC is responsible for the safety of the flight then the PIC can refuse an ATC directive in the spirit of safety, NO QUESTIONS ASKED OR REQUIRED.

My check airmen made me get the airplane and taxi over and I did my check ride in a thunderstorm.The examiner really wanted to fly that morning.I didn't want to.He did most of the flying and it was done in under 2 hours.I signed my temporary certificate and I was off.I had to tie down the little plane in the pouring down rain.And than I had to quickly get back to my high school and later on that day to A&P school.It was back in April 1983.

My discovery flight, I actually annoyed the CFI with my maintenance questions. He told me he would need sometime to preflight the plane and to hang out inside. Nope I was with him and had my own PF checklist. As a former maintainer it was natural for me. When I asked to see the planes documents. Cause I wanted to physically see the things I always hear about. At that point, he told me, do you want to actually go flying or what? Lol I'm cool with him now and he has told me, he did not like me that day.

With all this bureaucracy is it any wonder GA pilots are crashing airplanes all over the country frequently? Why is no one involved here talking about flying airplanes? By 24:00 no one had mentioned headwork or judgement in flight. Glad my 63 years as an active aviator are finished and behind me now. I loved it, but aviation ain't what it used to be. Well, I will acknowledge that all these folks got into some real issues involving flying and headwork in the last part of the video based on questions asked. I think the only entity that can have some positive effect on the terrible GA fatal accident rate is the insurance industry. The underwriters, however, have to figure out how to better evaluate aviation risks and force the issue with the cost of premiums. We're not there currently by a long shot.

Well we only had 1 hour of discussion. I am sure the DPE evaluates the aeronautical decision making process as well, as in the various examples mentioned in the video, such as getting lost, not setting up the radio before taking off, etc. . .
