Wow, talking to a real examiner here. Thanks for the tips everyone, 1 question though beagle. One thing that concerns me more than the flying portion is the oral portion. What are some things the examiner might fail you for not knowing? its not that i don't know what i should, its just that i'm afraid i'm going to go blank, and maybe give a wrong anwser or not know. My instructor says not to worry too much, that i can always tell the examiner that i need to look it up, just that i shouldn't need to look up everything. But coming from an examiner, what are some reasons you would fail a student based on the oral only?
Now on the flight portion...
So the examiner wants me to divert to another airport because of 'weather', and i choose the airport. Does he expect me to pull out my plotter and E6B and plan an exact heading? or is he just asking for a rough estimation? What are some reasons he might fail me when it comes to the emergency simulations? Will he really fail me if i get a little bit out of the airspeed, altitude or heading regulations on the maneuvers?
Thanks for taking the time to talk with a student pilot like myself
