WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT

Open and honest communication and structured preparation guidance

I remember what it was like to be afraid of the examiner on checkrides, but more importantly, I remember what it was like to be in an airplane, wishing I was better prepared for what I was going through. My goal is to both make you feel comfortable and “at home” on your checkride, but also to ensure you meet the FAA standards and therefore build your confidence for your future flying.

Airplanes

Every airplane I fly must be legal, safe, and an airplane that I feel comfortable flying in. To that extent, some personal judgment is involved. I won’t fly in an aircraft that does not have full flight controls on my side. I will conduct checkrides in an experimental or E-LSA as long as I have satisfactory information on its history and have visually inspected it to determine it is safe and airworthy.

Results

After you sign your application and the test begins, the ride will end in either a satisfactory, a discontinuance, or a disapproval. We of course are hoping for the first result! I will provide checkride briefings during multiple stages of the exam, you can ask any questions or clarifications during this time.

Get prepared

The FAA stipulates that all checkrides are supposed to be the same, to the extent that they test the same skills in the same manner. The good news is that it’s all in the ACS/PTS, so you can review the things that the FAA – and I – will expect of you. Nothing will be a secret or a surprise.
