The BFR thread elsewhere brings up a question in my mind.
When I did my Private checkride, the oral was valid but the flight was pretty short. The oral basically consisted of a few standard FAR questions followed by a safety lecture for 45 minutes.
For the flight, the conditions were ceiling about 2500, 8-9SM visibility. The DE had me skip pre-flighting in front of him. We did a normal takeoff. After that, we did a very short XC leg (like a minute or two), then some turns to headings. We did a 180 followed by slow flights and a partial-power stall. Then an engine-out and foggles time. We ended with pattern entry and a normal landing.
That was it. He logged 1.0 for the flight, but by the Hobbs it was 0.4.
I know that I wasn't tested on everything on the PTS, but since I had done everything previously on a mock checkride I'm comfortable with my ability.
Is this something to be worried about? Or don't worry - you have the ticket and you know you're qualified so let it go?
