@dmspilot @PaulS I saw y'all talking earlier about stuff and I just wanted to clear it up. I was on the 075 radial and flew directly over DRYDN so the arc would have made a ton more sense. In my initial IFR clearance I was cleared to 06A via direct DRYDN V20 (which is the 075 radial) and then...

Only one off the top of my head is during lost coms. So if clearance is 3000 expect 6000 in 10 minutes, he wants to hear immediately upon losing coms to climb to 6000 instead of waiting 10 minutes then climbing. I was showed the regs and you're supposed to wait, just can't remember where it was

Extremely

We went to the VOR and turned outbound and then turned home. Thats it.

Yea of course. The checkride is meant test what you know, but at least in my experience when is a CFI or DPE (that's not just there to build hours), they're there because they love aviation and just want to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. He did not seem like that at all. We did...

I know they can, whether they will or not depends on the DPE. If you rely on it too much they probably will. I heard a story once about a kid on his IR checkride. He had his iPad so the DPE failed it, he pulled another one out of his back, DPE failed it again, so he pulled a third out and the...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

I did not know that. Thank you for this!

Yea, it is a bit awkward, but it's taught by our CFIIs because that's what our Chief tests us on (same guy that tested me today). It's a bit corrupt in a sense. Everything revolves around what he wants to hear. There's regs that are taught to us that are wrong because that's what chief believes...

Yes, i understand why you're supposed to turn right, but we didn't have much winds and I flew outbound for a minute and a half so I had plenty of time

Is this only for routes and Victor airways, or does this also apply to IAPs?

I was using a G1000, and he didn't specify that he wanted me to use VOR only. The g1000 did show a lead turn. I was also taught by my instructor that you can use GPS on any VOR approach up until the final approach course inbound

Absolutely, we're all in this together. If I didn't do well, hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes.

It was a G1000 C172. The GPS did show it as an early turn before the VOR, but I wasn't blindly just following the magenta line. I've flown this approach probably 20 times (maybe more) and this was how my instructor taught my to do it. My examiner didn't try to explain why I was wrong at all so I...

He really didn't try to teach me anything it seemed like. It was either "okay good" or "you couldn't be more wrong". I know it sounds bad but it's not an exaggeration

So oral went well, I'm Auburn's flight school so I get letter grades. I got a B on the oral, even though I feel like I was asked some pretty extensive questions. Flight on the other hand, didn't go too great. I thought I was doing fine, and any other day I would have been happy with it. We went...

Hard to do when the examiner is doing everything in his power to make you feel like an idiot! Lol, but I feel like I did my best to just laugh at myself and have fun.

I go in tomorrow morning for my IFR oral and checkride. I feel ready but at the same time I don't feel ready at all. Anybody have any last minute tips or things to study, or maybe even some practice questions lol? Hopefully I'll do well and I'll let y'all know how I do afterwards!

I might be missing something, but what will moisture from the grass do to the planes?

Plane looks to be in rough shape. Lucky guy.
