Question What do Flight graders look for?

A few quick questions for you to better help me achieve a good grade:

* What aspects of a student pilot most impress / annoy you?

* What do you look for and how quickly can you tell if a student is going to be successful?

Any other checkride tips on making a strong impression would be gratefully recieved.

Cool

If you're doing the Cathay flight grading what they're looking for is progress and improvement over the two weeks. If you've already got experience they'll move you onto the CAP10 (performance aerobatic) from the Grob109. Here they're looking to see how well you can adapt between the aircraft, which are both very different.

CAP10 is wicked. You do loops, aileron roles and all types of spins. Just make sure you don't have a hangover if you've got a flight the next morning!!!

Got luck

Groove-ryder,

Do you speak with first-hand experience?

Regards.
