How come the Checkride isn't more life like? Practicing the stuff last night and I can do all the maneuvers and am fairly confident. My CFI was as well. Was good up until we went to land and I forgot to turn on the fuel pump (Piper Warrior) :yikes:
It just doesn't seem natural. I've been through a checkride before (Not the best move ever since I BEGGED the CFI to sign me off so I could experience it)
Wouldn't it make more sense to have it be more realistic. I can't imagine a time after I get my license that a friend and I are going flying AND we talk about flying for an hour beforehand and then we go and they say "Hey can you slow this thing down (Slow flight). I can imagine the turns around a point and stuff (to see their house) but do all of the stuff on one day just seems obscure!
Is there something I'm missing? I mean what are the odds of stalling, having an inflight emergency, getting lost and flying through a cloud.
*Can't wait to see how many pages this goes on*
