Checkride scheduled for Dec, 9th. The sweat machine is now engaged.
You will do fine, get your lost comms procedure down for the oral, in fact get the oral book book and start reading. Keep doing practice for the checkride with your CFI and all will be well.Bill Jennings said:Checkride scheduled for Dec, 9th. The sweat machine is now engaged.

You'll do great. Come on down to Atlanta to shoot approaches anytime! (well, except KATL)Bill Jennings said:Checkride scheduled for Dec, 9th. The sweat machine is now engaged.

Yes admiting a mistake and taking the correct action is key. On my IR checkride I was cleared out of a hold to an ILS but 500 feet above the glide slope. I started to descend at 1000fpm to get to it but within a few moments it become clear I was not going to do it safely. I leveled off and then started the missed procedure, called ATC and told them I am missed and requested vectors to redo the apporach. Once things settled down the DE said that is what she really wants to see, good decision making ability. Not trying to take risks to just make the approach.AdamZ said:Bill you know your stuff. Just think of it as; Hey I get to show this guy or gal how good I am and how much I know. And don't be afraid to admit a mistake and then correct it and explain it. Have not met a DPE that won't credit you for catching and explaining a mistake.
