If you pull up so far that you can only see the hold line out the side window, then you won't be able verify the runway assignment with the runway holding position sign or markings when cleared for takeoff or to line up prior to entering the runway. In other words, the sign or marking showing...

The CRJ is a reasonable distance from the hold line. Pull up any closer and they wouldn't even be able to see it.

There are minimum ages for solo and for certification anyway. If someone has and wants to spend the money for someone younger to fly, not sure what the issue is.

I have taught a lot of people 16 and younger, they are amazed when someone treats them like an adult.

Is it connected to a vacuum pump or electrical source? It doesn't look like a real instrument...

But why are there two?

Flightaware track?

My understanding is that stuck exhaust valves are a common and infamous problem on the O-200 when operated with 100LL due to buildup of deposits. Could flying at a high altitude with mixture full rich do it on one flight?

"What about people who are struggling and could crash on the way to their checkride?" lmao I am not sure I can keep watching after that It sounds like satire but given the negative response of the audience it doesn't seem intentional.

Yeah, I never extend flaps in flight either since it causes extra wear on the flap motor. If I know I'll need them for a short field landing, I extend them before takeoff.

To get comfortable enough, I don't remember a specific number of flights or hours, as I got a right seat "checkout" awhile before I actually started working on my CFI. But it was probably several. For awhile after, on landing it would occasionally feel like there was a slight crosswind when...

Ah, everyone thinks I'm defending the applicant. I'm trying to defend the DPE, or at least give possible explanations for why the question would be asked like that. I guess the failure to communicate is mine.

Ya'll are not getting the point. Say the DPE asks the applicant to teach airspace. The applicant leaves out a bunch of stuff. Now, the DPE could fail the applicant, with the reason being "you didn't teach me about XYZ." But the applicant might then say, "well you didn't ask me to teach that" or...

I think Maule knows how it works. Why not let the student answer?

What would have happened if you exhibited poor ability to do that? Would the DPE fail you, or revert to a Q&A style first?

What kind of airspace is Class E? Maybe tricky for a student or private pilot. Not a CFI.

Not a stumper question. A CFI should be able to answer confidently and correcly.

The part about barometric being +/- 75 is also not true. That's a preflight check that allows for variations in airport elevation.

The FAA thinks you should be a CFI for 2 years before you can teach other people to be CFIs. I always thought it would make sense to require a person to be a pilot for 2 years before they could teach people to be pilots. Alas, the FAA wants to get rid of the former requirement. Why they think...
