My problem is i try and attribute this same little easy to remember catch phrase to this situation and it doesn't seem to be applicable. The stationary aircraft on the ground would be the high, the low would be the pressure system, so according to the phrase i would have to "Look out below", meaning i would be lower than i thought i was and therefor the altimeter would read lower than zero on the ground.
Hmm, well here is where i get confused... In respect to aircraft in flight, if i travel from an area of moderate, but slightly warm weather, (lets say 30.02 altimeter setting) to an area which is hotter (lets go with 30.50 altimeter setting) and i did not correct my altimeter according to my arrival airports AWOS information, then i would assume that i am i am higher than i think i am, correct? I would follow the rule: "High to low, look out below. Low to high, touch the sky."
Question, i am going for my check ride this Saturday and am wondering, at 40:03 isn't the correct response to the question "A high pressure system moved into the area." Because if it was a low pressure system that moved into the area wouldn't your altimeter read that you are in the ground?
@aviationcomplication No. The answer given in the video is correct. You see as you go up in the atmosphere the air gets thinner (less pressure). A change is pressure is what causes the altimeter to change its indicated altitude. So a low pressure system moving in basically tricks the altimeter into thinking it has gone up in the air, when in fact it has remained on the ground.
@debarthepilot I don't remember it being hard. In fact in 1975 I cannot honestly remember the private pilot oral exam at all. Maybe we just had the written exam and check ride then !
@batmanh20 Sure, probably wont be the same day but yes you do get another chance. Sometimes people pass the oral but fail the flying portion and just have to do the flying portion over. Also depends on the examiner.
I cannot believe I just spent an hour and a half watching a test I will never take. It was just so interesting and a great insight as to what pilots have to know and how much effort is spent making sure they know it. Jusy a fabulous video, and thank you to textsa for posting.
@TheFr3sh1 Depends on your examiner. Some will, some won't. But you better be sure to have charged batteries if you go that route--there's not really a worse way to fail.
@denhou1974 hey.... I'm 15 nd I've always wanted to fly since the day I saw an airplane lol I'm in 10nth grade rite now..can you pls tell me wat I can start doing now..or in the future to achieve my dream of flying..like you? Thank you:)
denhou1974 hey.. I'm 15 nd I've wanted to b a pilot frm the day I frst saw an airplane loll..I'm in 10th grade right now. Can u please tell me wat can I do now or in the future to achieve my dream of flying like you? Thank you:)
@qwertyuiop10944 There are lots of books and videos out there. From an education perspective you'll want to concentrate on math and science. College degree is important but don't waste your money on a top University - a BS from anywhere will open the door wide enough. Lastly, there is a mystique around flying - you should get a discovery flight under your belt in the next couple of years to exereince the real thing.
@qwertyuiop10944 Join civil air patrol that was my first opportunity to fly. And play flight sim and learn and read books. Im 17 and going for my license soon now :)
Good job by the applicant. My oral was 4 hours long. The examiners are top notch and they can tell if you learned your stuff or not. Don't be nervous, just think things through (like a pilot should) and don't talk yourself into a corner.
The part about removing frost from the aircraft being a "good operating practice" is now incorrect. It is now a regulation that you completely defrost your aircraft before you take off (this does not include polishing the frost off, you MUST use a deicing solution).
Geez...That's a pretty thorough grilling to put a private pilot applicant through. My commercial oral was 30 minutes, private (with the same DE) around 1 hour.
Wow, I'm very glad to see this posted. I'm a student pilot and it's very nice to see what it's going to be like when I go to get my PPL. What makes the video even cooler is that fact I used to live by palwakee..or Chicago Executive as they call it now.
we have 3 stage for ppl first is with a faa check pilot n the oral is 1.30 hour sec stage with faa again 2.5 hour .n endofocourse with faa 2.5 hour -3.0 hour in a oral
@HN2010MUNDIAL My IR was probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 minutes. My Private was the longest (45-1 hour), the local DE (who's done all of my checkrides so far, PPL-Commercial), has similar questions for each exam (specifically the PPL and Comm ASEL), so once he's asked you them on your PPL (basic airspace, WX services etc), he's not going to ask them on the Comm. My Comm oral was less than 30 minutes, he only asked the new stuff (priviledges, MELs etc).
I just took my private pilot practical and my examiners oral exam took 3 hours. He asked a question for every bullet in the PTS. I would have much rather had this guy!
@U2ONE08 You would have loved my Commercial Multi-Engine oral exam. Took 20 minutes. When I went to do the Commercial Single Engine Add-On...took 5 minutes.
watching this again, it almost appears toward the end of this thing that, this very 'officious', serious examiner, ask's some of these questions to this young fellow, with an 'air' of uncertainty that, even "he" truly knows the answer, and when the very well prepared and knowlegable kid here, gives an answer, mr. examiner simply offers a... "ugh hmm...ok. very nice. very nice answer....i like that...."" Lol! like, he's only 'agreeing' with what our boy here has told him Ha ha!
wow. really long. and.....although informative.....extremely boring. so, question: is this supposed to be some sort of "perfect" oral Example Template, shot by some FAA agency, for the purpose of depicting "what we might expect"? ( interestingly, saw a comment below with someone chiming, "my guy asked me about 4 questions". Lol! ) i would imagine, and taking into account this is somewhat dated, that, perhaps Todays examiners, "wouldn't" put everyone thru this. ideas?
Poor dude. My examiner asked the following, What's this (Points to a surface Class E airport), how many fuel vents are on the plane (3 on a 172), What happens if the atmospheric vent becomes clogged during flight (I didn't have an answer and he told me what to do in the event I hear my wing start to implode, which I don't see the flight lasting much longer if that occurs), and he gave me a list of items for a survival kit. Then we flew.
I can only hope that my examiner will be half has courteous and professional as he was. I have heard some horror stories about some of the DPE's in my area...
I remember this. For me it was in 1975. Good ride. Back then, a PA-28-140 was $19.00 solo and $29.00 Dual. PA-28-161 was $22 solo. The Private Pilot ticket cost was about $1200 complete.
I will never forget my first solo, the first time I sent a student off for solo, the first time I signed a student off for an FAA check ride, the first time I signed a CFI Applicant off for check ride, and my first flight in a passneger jet as an F/O, transiting from a Turbo-Prop.
Ha I remember my checkride! I was more nervous than anything else I had done! Then I remembered Rod Machado's advice, the examiner wants to see that you can execute everything safely. Obviously you have to know your stuff cause if you didn't you wouldn't be a safe pilot. Execute everything safely and use common sense.
i bit the bullet and changed the schedule to Monday. they expected winds at 15 knots gusting to 20-25 when i was supposed to go so err that was a bit too much for me.
