This is a two part question on ADs. The questions came to me while I was listening to the VSL podcast which is hosted by a DPE and flight school owner.
First question: should I prepare a docket of ADs for a PPL checkride broken down by airframe, engine, prop, and accessory like this DPE demonstrates at around the 27 minute mark?
Second question: how do most flight schools go about providing this information to students? I once asked my CFI how I can see the maintenance logbooks for my training aircraft, and he seemed to think that's not likely to happen. Instead, they have a binder available on the office desk which covers the "AVIATE" inspections minus the VOR check (Annual, VOR, i=100 hour, Altimeter/static sys, Transponder, ELT for those who might not have seen the acronym). This also covers the 172 "seat rail" recurring AD, but that's the only AD listed for the carbureted 172s they own. Looping back to my first question - is this enough for a checkride? (Obviously not if I'm going on a checkride with the guy in the podcast...).
Thanks a bunch
