PREFLIGHT CHECKRIDE 101
BY NATALIE BINGHAM HOOVER
NO GOOGLING ALLOWED
CHECKRIDES ARE THE ULTIMATE OPEN-BOOK TEST
DO YOU REMEMBER BACK IN SCHOOL
when the teacher would say a test was
going to be open book? That sort of
announcement was generally met with
a chorus of happy cheers from students
who were grateful they wouldn't have
to spend all weekend memorizing every
detail of the Spanish-American War. I say
something similar in my pre-checkride
brief to applicants. " The checkride today
is going to be open book, but there are a
few caveats. "
First, any resource you use needs to be
current. That means you should not bust
out your 2015 FAR/AIM when trying to
look up required equipment in FAR 91.205.
No, that list hasn't changed for as long as
al250
I've been flying, but plenty of regulations
have, which is why the FAA is a stickler for
current books. Approach plates, sectional
and low en route charts, the chart supplement-these
things all go out of date,
so make sure you bring the most current
version on the day of your exam.
Only official resources are permitted.
I don't allow personal notes (with the
exception of CFI lesson plans) in my
exam room. I know some other examiners
do, however, so make sure to check
their policy when you schedule the test.
Am I just determined to be the meanest
one out there? No. Allow me to explain.
When I was a student pilot, I made
copious notes to help me memorize the
YOUR RECONFIGURABLE
PISTON AIRCRAFT IN A COMPACT SIM
FOR YOUR PPL, CPL & IR/ME TRAINING
overwhelming amount of new information.
I have absolutely no idea where
those papers are now. But I know exactly
where my Airplane Flying Handbook is if
I want to look up an answer. I want the
same to be true for my applicants. In 10
years, when they forget what the acronym
AVIATES stands for, they need to be
able to find the answer in their current
FAR/AIM so they can have a legal aircraft
to fly. They're going to struggle if they've
never used that book before. For the
record, Google is not an official resource.
We all know how much bad information
is out there, so if you are using a search
engine, use it only to look up where to
find the correct answer. For example, you
