TIMTS
Best advice for a 135 ride:
1. You are being tested to the practical test standards (PTS) for a commercial helo pilot. So fly as you normally would and a pass is assured (and easy to boot!!).
2. When asked to carry out a manouevre, carry out the exercise as you normally would do it.. DO NOT try and do it as you think the DPE wants to see it....
3. While doing the oral, take your time in answering the questions.. THINK before answering.. Once again DO NOT try and answer it as you think the DPE wants to hear it.... Answer with what you know... If you are not sure of an answer, tell him such.. But tell him you know where to find the answer, and then find it for him...
4. The biggest thing is to relax and have fun with the examiner.. Treat it as a learning experience.. He/she is not out to get you, but to ensure that you are SAFE.... Are You safe????
Best of luck to you...
