This is a guest post from my good friend Jason Schappert, who just published his new “Learn to Fly – Pass Your Private Pilot Checkride” book…
Make Your Private Pilot Checkride A Breeze
With the release of his newest book Learn to Fly – Pass Your Private Pilot Checkride Jason Schappert has been creating quite the buzz and shares with us some tips from the book on how to make your private pilot checkride a breeze.
The checkride is one of the most anticipated and, at the same time, the most dreaded moments in any student pilot’s career. Your checkride represents the pinnacle of all that you have been working for; it is the culmination of your entire private pilot training where an examiner finally grades and judges whether or not you are fully capable of flying that aircraft.
For most pilots, this is the point of no return and would understandly cause a lot of anxieties on their part. However, it is also important that you learn to overcome these anxieties so that you can truly ensure that you pass your checkride. Nerves will get you nowhere and instead make you jittery come test day.
Fortunately, there are ways that one can make his private pilot checkride a breeze.
Get Everything Ready Beforehand
Preparing to fly is just like every task that we do in this world. You would need to prepare a few things. These things would include the necessary tools such as books and charts. When you’ve prepared enough, you’d be pretty certain that you would go through the checkride quickly and it would all be over before you know it. If you’re not prepared, on the other hand, you’re simply setting yourself up for failure. Be prepared! Set everything up the night before.
Use your Checklist
There are some student pilots who, after accumulating enough experience in flying, would conveniently neglect to refer to the checklist. While this is testimony to their skill, it would also be prudent for you to look at the checklist and ascertain that what you are doing is right. You can consider the checklist as your notes in an open-note exam. Contrary to what most pilots might think, instructors would actually prefer you double check the checklist as compared to those who seemingly “know it all.”
Enjoy the Ride
Last but not the least, enjoy the ride! Don’t over think things! You’ve trained and studied for hours! Your instructor wouldn’t have signed you off if he or she hadn’t thought you were ready.
