DPE ANSWERS FOR STUDENTS AND CFIS
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
WHEN SHOULD AN APPLICANT
AND THEIR CFI SCHEDULE THE
APPLICANT'S CHECKRIDE?
Most examiners will want an applicant
to be signed off and ready with all their
training and prerequisite flight experience
or knowledge tests completed. It is perfectly
acceptable to many DPEs to get in touch a
little ahead of time and tentatively schedule
a time as long as you give them notice and
stay in touch if for any reason you won't be
ready at the scheduled time. Many DPEs will
hold a scheduled time for you with some precoordination, especially in areas where testing
backups are present due to demand.
Q
A
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT SLIPS
ON FINAL-MAYBE AGGRESSIVE FOR
A STEEPER LANDING?
That depends. On some tests, demonstration
of slips is part of the skills to be tested.
This may be done at different phases of flight,
but it may in fact be a demonstratable item that
will be requested. When specifically conducted
on a final approach, slips may be used for their
intended purpose. One word of warning would
be to make sure they are being conducted in
accordance with aircraft limitations. Some
aircraft prohibit flaps with certain flaps settings
and many times applicants will find themselves
high on an approach and at the last minute decide
a slip will save them. When they do this outside
of prescribed limitations for the aircraft, it is a
failure generating moment.
