Enjoy
Hi PG
In all the flights I've ever had with examiners I've always had the impression that they are there to pass me, which thankfully they have, in spite of some cock ups.
And I've always learnt something. Tips as follows:
1. The examiner will know whther or not you can fly before you are half way round a circuit. As indeed will you when you start checking people out.
2. He/she is there to pass you. If (when!) you make a mistake point it out, as you should also do when you make a mistake with a student on board. If you cock up a demo then say so and do it again.
3. If you forget your lines then dump the patter and describe what you are doing in English. It is a good idea to have memorised the salient points of the excercise and reiterate these afterwards.
Enjoy it, and your subsequent career. Becoming an FI is one of the best things that I have ever done!
Good luck
PF
