Yepyep! Hoping to start on it this week

Study the books man (I used Jeppesen and oral exam guide), it will definitely make the oral run smoothly on the checkride, and I learned a lot that my instructor/ground instructor never even discussed with me. Once we started doing some instrument approaches, I would go home and fly the...

Thanks, have no idea yet haha. Hopefully a friend,my sister, or dad. Mom is scared of planes,yet married to a pilot.:rolleyes:

Sounds awesome! Glad you had a nice trip, although your pocket might hurt by that fuel bill!:D

Don't want anyone to hate me for saying this but... 91.107 yada-yada-yada "each occupant must occupy an approved seat belt, and if installed, shoulder harness, during aircraft movement on surface, takeoff, and landing" and an exception in (a)(3)(i)- Be held by an adult who is occupying an...

I was about to say that too, let's just say they were just getting a shot of the interior with a crowded cabin on the ground ;)

No, the flight instructors always go over it with you, but the actual DPE will quiz you on it too now. If you were referring to the DPE actually doing it prior with the PTS, my DPE never did it with my PPL.

I just had my Instrument Checkride this past Friday, it's not very different compared to the PTS. Think of it as a slightly beefed up version of the PTS. The only major differences I saw was that the ACS wants you to think outside of the box for a few things, as well as have your own personal...

I wasn't saying it wasn't taught, but probably not by every instructor, and DPEs might not have mentioned anything about it. ACS kind of forces the DPE to ask about it which could reinforce the idea that it is good to have one with newly rated pilots.

Haha it wasn't the fsdo, he was a dpe just part of the philly fsdo ;)

Commercial is up next! Hopefully I can get it done by the end of the year! Insurance is handled by the school

Thanks everyone!

Thanks!

Thanks! That's the great thing about ACS, even before it came into existence, I had always set my personal minimums even when I was an instrument student. Hopefully the ACS will encourage new students that pursue ratings and certifications to have their own personal requirements and that the...

Went to Dennis Einstein out the Philly FSDO at Wilmington(KILG) on 8/30/2016 to meet and brief what would topics would be on the checkride. Followed up on 9/2/2016 for the actual checkride. With me I brought everything stated in ACS/PTS (Examiner's fee, foggles, documents, maintenance records...

I don't think he is a bad guy at all, just want to experience meeting different dpes, could even possibly make connections, who knows

I've flown with him for my PPL but rather experience someone new.

Will do, thanks

Usually Dennis Einstein

That's who I would like to take it with, but I heard it takes a few weeks to get him and unfortunately I don't have that time as the school I'm flying with has a deadline for me to get my instrument.
