PPL flight test - forced approach
Hey All,
I just took my PPL in flight test. I got a partial pass because I failed the forced approach. I was WAY too high. in the debriefing the examiner suggested I pick the longest 2 fields first, then think about other factors (wind, surface etc.). I would also recommend that you remember it may be better to circle a point to lose altitude rather than slip. I tried slipping when I was 500' up and 400' away from the field, got too much speed and would have needed much more glide distance even if I had gotten low enough.
Hope these tips help others avoid my mistakes. Pc.
