What a great video. I think knowledge reduces anxiety. The more I prepare for anything, the less anxious I feel. Thank you for taking the mystery out of a Checkride process.
Great video, sounds like a thorough but fair DPE that creates a friendly professional environment! One thing about failing.... It is YOU that knows, the FAA that knows and EVERY FUTURE AVIATION EMPLOYER!!! So if flying professional is your goal, do not fail check-rides! If you do fail, be ready to own up to it and explain how it made you a better pilot.
12:52 dude I died when he pulled out a beverage from his bag lmao was not expecting that
When his phone rang I thought it was real at first and I was thinking, "well, this is awkward...". Thank you for the excellent and very informative video gentlemen!
I’m about 3 weeks out from my check ride. I am so looking forward to the moment my DPE hands me my temporary pilot’s certificate. This was very helpful. Thank you
Great Information ! I always wondered how the check ride would be...at least this has given me an insight ...thanks for sharing
Hey there Paul, I'd like to thank you for spending time making a brief yet informative general layout of how the checkride will go - as well as some pointers. I have a checkride coming up in approximately two weeks and as nervous as I am, it's nice to know that when all is said and done, the examiner is simply looking for someone who is proficient in safety, common sense, and is always learning. Best wishes and blue skies.

Y H Hey there, thanks so much for asking! I passed with flying colors (no pun intended). To be frank, the oral [and practical/flight] exam was the best experience I’ve had the privilege to partake in. The examiner was straight to the point, but allowed plenty of room for enjoyment and stress-free evaluation of me as a pilot (and person). After studying my butt off, I had no trouble at all explaining the route, the steps to take, follow, etc., and performing as PIC. Not tooting my own horn, but directly said from the DPE; “You’ve demonstrated to me that not only do you have exceptional knowledge and understanding as a [now Private] Pilot, but that of what should be expected for a commercial-level-Pilot. As for your handling of the aircraft (N21627, a 2004 C172S out of my home base KASH), I don’t think anything needs to be said - I went up with you hoping to see the same as that of your oral skills, and you outperformed those expectations.” Needless to say the butterflies still haven’t dissipated! All the best & safe skies.

Also, the few days leading up to my checkride I flew with my instructor as much as possible so everything was fresh and I felt confident. Good luck!

My checkride oral was real hard. Suprised that I passed it but the flight portion went great. Probably should’ve studied more than the full 24hr prior and at least gotten some sleep.
crap im nervous after watching this
Kids haircut would be an automatic fail for me
Great video. Need help finding a good syllabus for a Commercial Single Engine Add-On. I already have my Commercial Multi/IFR. Can you advise me where to find this. Thanks.
The What not to do had me crying 😭
Paul, were you with the 41st?
OK, the part not to do had me laughing.

Please see Av Web channel from January 2017 where Paul Bertorelli quotes the Experts: "Good Audio Makes Good Video." Yes, it is time for a ClipOn or Lavaliere-style microphone. That is, if you want to appear professional.
What is the just quoted DPE question?
DPE is a better actor, so calm
This is in a long list of vids I have been watching in prep for my checkride on the 19th of July, 2019. I feel that this was helpful and I thank you for putting it together (even with the cringe-worthy portions of the trashed bag and diarrhea mouth! xD )

Never had any contact with any of my DPE before the checkride. The owner of the school kept him behind the scenes, and one of the DPE's wife that took care of scheduling even refused to talk to me. Not sure what the mentality, legality, and liability of the position is all about. No matter what, it's a test, you will be nervous, do the best you can. Hopefully if you bust your IFR the school owner is not going to say, shame on you. Good luck.

Probably don’t want to appear as favoritism .
1:07 I had on my PPL, MEP, IR/ME and CPL skill test in joggings, trainers and a hoody. Believe it or not, I had 1st time passes in all of them. No one cares how you dress as long as the knowledge is there...
I was surprised that how to dress was the first question. Odd.
"Um, what if I don't remember to answer a question." ... then forget about getting your private's LOL
I think you can dress like yourself for your check ride. "Neat and clean" and "business casual" means something different to everyone and your personal comfort matters more than someone else's potential bias of what you look like. They're evaluating your skills not whether or not you can conform to their view of what a pilot "looks like". Otherwise good info though.
