Private Pilot Checkride Test Prep: Oral Exam, Cessna 172, FAA Check-Ride

Va has two answers one is the bureaucratic answer which requires the modified stall speed calculation alluded to in this and many other pilot training videos. The other answer is the correct physics and engineering answer which is that Va is only a function of lift(in pounds force) and structural strength(in pounds force), and so gross weight has no effect on Va, though the maximum acceleration(load factor) at Va will change with gross weight. The fact that the pounds-force is due to low acceleration of a large mass rather than high acceleration of a small mass is irrelevant. That is, a c172 does not magically jump from a physical 3.8g structural limit to a 4.4g ability when weight is reduced from 2001 to 1999 pounds. As an appeal to authority, "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" and other military training materials confirm my statement that Va does not change.

Perfect quick and concise video thanks! Two thumbs up, BUT DUDE in your practice radio call you said "this is" and thats one of the dont use phrases!

Woww i am so appreciate you for all this stuff for sharing with us this all very helpful you helped me a lot to prepare for my checkride.... Thank you a lot

Lol the McLovin lol.

Best one I've seen so far. Thanks for the info. I found the documents you shared on google drive extremely helpful as well.

Awesome video. Got my pvt checkride coming up and this was great!!

Hi Nero Aviation, I am a student trying to be a private pilot and I am almost ready to go on my solo flight, but I am worried wondering where and how I can get all the information that the examiner will use to question me. I would like to know is there a video that goes over everything that the examiner use to ask you questions? Please help.

Great video. Taking my PPL check ride tomorrow this was a great refresher to everything I've learned.

Great video, good for getting ready for a flight review, he said "biannual" for currency in terms of a review; it should be biennial. When speaking of currency vs proficiency currency is more legal and proficiency leans toward safe, could be confusing to someone who didn't already know that.

Well done. Checkride in a few weeks now... Using this to study!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much

Great video but your statement about basic med is incorrect. Student pilots will ALLWAYS need to obtain a 3rd class medical. Basic med is for those who have held a valid airmens medical cert since 2006 or after. So once you get at least one valid medical cert then you can basic med forever. :)

Great information. Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you nice!!

If I know everything in just this video, will I pass the oral

About the resources, would the same books work for a Canadian exam? Of course replacing the FAA with Transport Canada, but as far as the other 3 go those would do well in Canada?

As a non pilot person this training and certification seems very extensive and very time consuming unless you have your own plane I don't see possibility of keeping current on a regular basis and even then your family life would suffer LOL

Dude I love the mclovin ID!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great resume! My checkride is this Saturday

Thank you for this, my checkride is the 13th and I did one of those online ground schools and my instructor didn't really teach any other than how to fly so I have been panicking this last week watching all of the videos I can get my hands on that went over the ACS and taught the info we needed to know!!! I always panic before tests but this online ground school has me really worked up, always was used to taking classes in front of a teacher.

He recommended typing"...Suck , blow, bang.. " into a search for educational purposes. ..lol

Excellent video👍👏

May you speak normal for each understanding? You have very fast and specifically pronunciation. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is a great video. Thanks.

This video was so incredibly helpful

A ton of great information. Thank You! Small criticism, sounded like you are sucking on some hard candy. Very distracting on a video.

Great Job man, needed that one

Great video, thank you!

Much Appreciated! With you all the way through as I prep for my Oral Exam and Check Ride. Thanks for taking the time.

BIENNIAL*** Just to be a semantics buzzkill. ;) Taking my checkride next month. This is extremely helpful and super well-organized. Many thanks!

This is very helpful. Thx.

DUATS is no longer available. it appears it was shut down just after this video was posted, in case any one was looking for alternate weather briefs for their PPL check ride prep

This video is amazing and so helpful. I wish there was one for a piper airplane!

So you won’t spin when stalling with crossed controls? That’s news to me. Not sarcastic at all, that’s not what I’ve been taught, I’ll dig in deeper to see what I can learn about that.
I have my checkride in a few weeks.

I’m about to take my ppl written and this review was awesome, thank you!

Did you have a jolly rancher or something in your mouth

to clarify, night landings need to be made 1 hr after sun set to 1hr before BUT night flights begin at civil twilight, which could be 30min after sunset, correct?

There is NO WAY i could pass this test...its information overload. This discourages me from even thinking about flying a plane. There is no way i could remember all of that if i was asked during a written or oral test.

Couldn’t make it through with the lip smacking. Drives me insane.

This video is the refresher I needed! I have my check ride in four days.

Favorite video .. This helped me tag up my FAR AIM aswell .

Phenomenal video! Really helped me organize the information in my head and identify gaps in my knowledge. Thank you for putting this together and sharing!

This is the best! Thanks for taking the time to make this. Also, I believe it is BIENNIAL. <3

good video mate it taught me alot we need more video from you Their that many videos out there Some are ease to follow other are not you was great we need more videos from you thank you

Looks like he gained 10lbs from when he got his DL until his medical. Bummer dude
