Bro saved me

Thank you for your comment. I hope you don't mind that we pinned it!

@@SafetyPilotOfficial C'mon bro, more right rudder! And more right earbud 😅 (great video btw)

Yes, it happens to me as well

And excellent workaround for a mistake they should have fixed!

We will add a little something for the right ear next time! Sorry about that. Thanks for watching anyway!

😂, still good though. Thx guys.

Great stuff. Yeah I spent some hours troubleshooting...

HAHA I thought it was only me

😂

Gives u time to think

Let us know how it goes! Good Luck!

Commented 5 days ago - hope it went well!:)

I have mine in a month! Hope yours went well

So?

howd it go?

Thanks for watching! We have an instrument mock checkride already recorded that we will release soon.

I agreed

that leaves a lot on the table for anyone looking to profesional produce a video

Thanks for watching and the kind words!

Glad we could help!

Oh hey Juan lol

@@blainepetsupplies5354 😆

Congratulations! Blue skies ahead!!

How’d it go? I have mine next week!

@@andrewtrube4042did the video help? I have my PPL in three days now

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

We had a blast flying with you and doing some float flying. Good luck to your son on his checkride!

How did it go?

So glad we were able to help!

How did it go?

@@Adam-hx1gw Thanks for checking. My check ride is next Wed, July 26th!!

@@gregagee4328 good luck

@@Adam-hx1gw I"m officially a licensed pilot!! It went good today and I'll be moving on to my instrument rating next. Thanks for asking:)

@@gregagee4328 awesome, congratulations!

Thanks! Good luck on your checkride. Study well and enjoy it. By the time you get to the checkride 99% of the work is already done and that is already worth celebrating!

Thank you !!!

So update. I enjoyed the video guys. You guys got a lot of views so that means you guys helped a lot of student pilot or even other pilots who might have needed a refresher.

Thanks for watching!

Same here brother good luck today!

Thanks for watching and hope those rides went well yesterday!

How’d it go?! 🤞 I’m off to my flight schools stage 3 check. If that goes well then they’ll let me schedule the check ride 😊

@seattleraf well. The oral was incredibly easy for some reason. He didnt go in to depth on anything and it went by quick. Failed the flight for a very dumb but dangerous mistake. Doing a soft field take off I was so focused on staying in ground effect and climbing at Vx I missed a radio call or two of the plane ahead of me. I turned crosswind where I normally do, but failed to see that the plane ahead of me had flown a very long upwind leg so I basically cut them off and it was a collision hazard. Failed rightfully so. Will retake when the DPE schedule opens up.

@@DaBladePwn damn sorry to hear but I’m glad it otherwise went well for you. Any idea what the retake will cover? Usually when you’re unsat you only redo the parts you didn’t pass. But in this case since it wasn’t related to any one particular maneuver I’m curious what the next flight will cover. Either way, good luck man!

Did you pass?

Ride is tomorrow and the weather looks great.!@@dominicbalochiandad3523

Thanks for watching!

We are planning an instrument mock checkride for the near future. Thanks for the feedback.

We will talk about doing a flight portion as well! Not all DPEs will allow you to use foreflight for your navlog. The best thing you can do is ask your DPE before your test. Even if they prefer you do it by hand you can still use Foreflight to make a navlog and then print it out. At the end of the day we still insist students know how to do calculations by hand. Even if a DPE lets you use Foreflight they may ask you to make some alterations by hand. You will go into your checkride with peace if you are confident and capable of filling in a navlog by hand. With that said, I have spoken with at least a dozen DPEs who spoke highly of Foreflight and were fine with their students using it. We must remember that DPEs are pilots too and many of them use Foreflight. It has gotten to the point now where judging a student pilot's ability to use an electronic flight bag is almost necessary as 90% or more of pilots use electronic systems.

@@SafetyPilotOfficial firstly thanks so much for such a comprehensive reply. You truly care about aviation and want people to succeed. 💖 Lucky that you have dpes in your area accepting of ForeFlight usage in a checkride. In Nj it’s not really the case unfortunately!

Hey Ty, you make a great point! I just left a lengthier reply to Ethan Durant's post, where he also noticed the same thing in the video. I kinda gave my reasoning but in general I think your answer here, and Ethan's is the correct way to look at it! It is important to remember though that legally, if anything is marked "inop", a record needs to be made in the maintenance logs and it must be done in accordance with Part 43. Most pilots do not have experience making these entries and many don't even have access to the maintenance logs of the planes they fly

good point@@SafetyPilotOfficial

did you pass??

Hi Alcides, I assume you are referring to doing this on Foreflight. Unfortunately, there is no way to get the location names on the printable navlog. Two options are to write them in manually after printing, or to just show the examiner the electronic log and use that for your CC flying. Make sure to ask your examiner if they allow the use of Foreflight before the day of your exam!

We didn't discuss that beforehand and after the video I asked Caleb, the applicant, if he was really stumped on the questions. Turns out he is just an actor😅

did you pass??

@@jeramydavin4061 yes i did !!

I keep coming back to find my comment where I was prior to my checkride and cant find it lol, guessing he’s in the same boat but I had my checkride yesterday and passed 😄

Check with the DPE you plan to use. We recommend preparing a paper nav log and weight and balance even if the DPE lets you use foreflight. We both followed that principle for all of our checkrides and it worked well. The DPE could always ask you to calculate something even if they let you use foreflight.

That is actually going to be the next video in our Foreflight video series. It should come out in a day or two

@@SafetyPilotOfficial awesome my check-ride is a few weeks out and I’d like to be able to present with Foreflight. This video was so helpful learned a lot! Thanks for doing this!

I'm also getting ready to take checkride in next month or 2.

Did either of you take your check ride? If so how did it go?

www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety/alerts/saib SAIBs. Special airworthiness information bulletin. They are mentioned in the private pilot ACS (airmen certification standards) I.B.c or code PA.I.B.K1c This isn't a common question on private pilot checkrides as pilots are not expected to know much about maintenance of aircraft. Still, it is in the ACS so you technically need to know it.

Good luck on your checkride!

Damn my checkride is on the same day Good luck ✈️✈️✅👨‍✈️

@@darrelmiller2609 @Jordi good luck on your checkrides today!

@@SafetyPilotOfficial got my PPL 😎😎✅✅😎

That's a great skill to have and something to be proud of! All pilots should learn to fly based on maps and plotters in our opinion. We see the value in learning to use both electronic navigation and paper chart navigation before receiving your PPL.

This just got added to the top of my checklist. :)

That is a great question and I have met several people (Including the DPE on my commercial checkride :) ) who have wondered the same thing. I think because when over 40 a 1st class medical reverts to 2nd and then 3rd, that people also think it does when under 40, but that is not the case. 14 CFR 61.23d has a useful (although not super easy to read) table that explains the duration and privileges of each. We see that for a 1st class medical, if under 40, Airline transport PIC (1st class privilege) and flight for hire/commercial certificate flying (2nd class privilege) are both suspended after the first 12 months of the medical exam. After that period only general "Private Pilot" type flying can be done. It is also important to remember that if you have a 1st class medical, it is valid for 60 months (assuming under 40). After 12 months your PRIVILEGES change under your 1st class medical to be the same as a 3rd class, but it is still a 1st class medical for the full 60 months.

@@SafetyPilotOfficial oh I see, good to know exactly how it works, thanks for the response!

That is a great question, and reflects the way I felt going into my PPL checkride. If you watch this and other Mock checkrides on youtube and are getting most of the answers right, I think you are in a good place. DPEs are all different, and some can be sticklers on certain topics, but they 100% do not expect you to have all the right answers. Practice giving short, concise answers to questions you are asked. That can help avoid opening up a rabbit hole for the examiner to ask more obscure questions. And remember that the DPE wants you to succeed and they are not out to get you. Most failures I know of in the oral exam came from the student stumbling through multiple sections rather than failing on one single question.

Did you ever find out how to do this?

probably long holding a click?@@kylierogers9162

How was your check ride?

We hope not! Our goal at Safety Pilot is to entertain and educate people in the wonderful aviation community. We are both CFIs with experience taking and sending people to checkrides. While we realize that every DPE and checkride is different, we felt this video was very close to the checkride experiences we have had in the past. Is there something you felt was off? We would love to hear about it!

@@SafetyPilotOfficial It's a play on words ... mock ride. The video itself is great.

One of many fantastic breakfast options, thanks for watching!

But thanks for the great video!

We appreciate it! Probably had some answers on the inside of the cup 🤷

The mock student here is a flight instructor and was only acting as a student pilot. We hope by sharing our experience passing many checkrides to present a mock checkride that is as similar to the real thing as possible. Thanks for watching!

Really good video btw!

Thanks! We are twins. You can tell us apart by our landings ;)

@@SafetyPilotOfficial😂😂😂 at first I thought u were going to record yourself answering the questions, then shaving your beard off and recording yourself asking the questions then splice it together.

We certainly have had to learn a lot through mistakes as we make these videos! Hopefully you were able to get something from this nonetheless. See the top pinned comment for how to switch from mono to stereo on the video
