CHECKRIDE CHECKLIST
dPE ANSWERS FOR STUdENTS ANd CFIS BY ASI STAFF
EDITOR'S NOTE:
The following is a compilation of questions from CFIs, students, and checkride applicants answered by designated pilot examiners. This forum intends to
provide a healthy and helpful discussion platform for CFIs and applicants who are preparing for their checkrides' oral and practical test portions. It may also
serve to help enhance the applicants' checkride experiences and promote continued learning. Email cfinewsletter@aopa.org to share your questions.
Q
A
CAN YOU GIVE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT DOCUMENTS STUDENTS
ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND?
The biggest trouble on document sourcing continues to be the
demonstration of knowledge of aircraft maintenance logs. Frequently,
applicants have only seen aircraft maintenance logs " the day before the test,
once. " This is typically insufficient to develop knowledge and skill levels
required for practical tests. Know what you are looking for and how to find
it. The DPE must see that the aircraft is airworthy, and on many tests, the
ability to demonstrate this is a testable item.
Q
A
DO YOU ENCOURAGE NEWLY RATED INSTRUMENT PILOTS TO SET
HIGHER PERSONAL MINIMUMS UNTIL THEY GAIN EXPERIENCE?
Well, on a test the DPE isn't giving instruction, so technically, we don't
recommend anything. But as experienced instructors, in debriefs,
or advice outside the testing time period, most of us will recommend a
building of some experience and constant evaluation of personal minimums
consideration. In some respects, for many pilots, the most proficient
they ever are for instrument procedures is on the day of their instrument
practical test. So, they might actually be better at flying to minimums than
they might be in six months without much practice! The setting of higher
personal minimums is always recommended in unfamiliar aircraft, when
recent experience hasn't been had, at unfamiliar airports, and for any other
number of reasons. A good way to do this is to use a flight risk analysis
tool of some sort and have constant evaluation of proficiency and risks
associated with any flight.
