Pattern Altitude
I start my AMEL commercial instruction on Monday night and to be proactive I scheduled the check-ride for the end of the month. No pressure right?
Going through all the materials it makes a lot of sense, but the whole engine out thing is starting to make me a little concerned. How severe is the yaw when the engine goes, how sluggish is the plane at Vmc or blueline? How does the "simulated failure" work? Does the DPE actually pull the throttle back and fail it or do you just do the flows? I know I'll probably get a lot of questions answered when I go fly Monday night.
I've read through some of the check-ride reports from folks on here and other places. I'm curious if your ride was REALLY difficult/intimidating and how you learned the flows along with any tips about Vmc/blueline/manuevers, etc.
