No, you're quite right - I remain impressed by the standard of Transport Canada examiners.

The usual routine is to go through the paperwork, etc, then go flying. As soon as you have updated your groundspeed and ETA for the first checkpoint within the first twenty minutes and the examiner is happy that you know what you are doing, you are diverted to another location without the luxury of a map, then you do the upper air work, then a bit of confined areas, etc.

The passenger door will come open on your first takeoff!
