As a student sport pilot, this put me at ease. I didn't realize the oral is basically a conversation about my knowledge of the airplane being used and a brief on the practical flight.
You guys are amazing. Just passed my checkride in a 1938 Taylorcraft BC65. Watched this video like 20 times before my oral.
Thanks for that Zach.
Are you from the Bahamas?
I'm taking my sport pilot oral later this month and I can't thank you enough mike. You are the only one on you tube that has made a specific video for my specific rating and I'm grateful that you took the time to make this video. If my comment makes it to you, then please know that I'm grateful. Thanks Again and Stay Safe!!! (Praises from NY)
How did it go?
OMG this video really hit reality for me showing myself how little I know about getting my pilot's license after studying for so long
Haha, it happens to everyone, a little recurrent studying goes a long way.
I am on hiatus from my training, this video is something which will help me study until I can get back in the plane.
+Michael Husken Glad it helps!!! Fly safe!
To all those wondering what the Sport Pilot oral and check ride is like, this video is very close if not exactly what you should expect in the oral portion. I do think testing wise, there is probably very little difference between Sport Pilot and Private Pilot (except for the aircraft). I was happy with the level of difficulty because you are talking about practical knowledge - things you really should know.
The check ride consisted of planning a cross country and flying a few legs of it (no GPS) using pilotage and a stopwatch to time your arrival at waypoints calculated using your E6-B manual flight computer. Then we did some maneuvers: turns around a point, S turns over a road, slow flight, steep turns, and an emergency decent. Following, we diverted to an airport for some takeoffs and landings: short and soft field landings, short and soft field takeoffs, and forward slip to landing. My examiner had me do this all on a runway with a crosswind, by the way.
The oral was about 2 hours and the checkride was 1.7 hours. $450 for the instructor plus $104/hour for the cost of the plane, making a total of $626.80 for the test.
It sounds tough, but it's not - especially with the help of this video. What struck me, is that this information and these skills are necessary to planning and flying safely at any level. I also know that when I upgrade to a Private Pilot, it will be a piece of cake as it's basically the same test.
Thanks for restoring my faith. ruclips.net/video/mL5IxD_7nrg/видео.html&lc=Ugy8Ikl94TkkZyaM6nd4AaABAg.8rNUuTDXpXg8uYSbUUu69s
THANK YOU SIR! I love your videos, but this one I watched it a bunch of times. It seems that you answered all of the possible questions to I studied it a lot. Just took my Sport Pilot practical and the knowledge portion was a bit simpler than this one and I passed no problem. Thank you very much for your videos!
A lot of American slamming slangs sir,l am from Ghana and a beginner, very much impressed about the significance.Thank so much for the insight.
Great video! I'm set to take my Sport Pilot check ride in two weeks and this video definitely helped put me at ease regarding what to expect during the oral. I did catch one mistake thought, SFRA's are actually classified by the AIM as "Other" airspace not "Special Use" and if I'm correct knowing the difference between the two categories is a requirement via the PTS.
Glad you'd like it
His answers are very thorough when they ask a question he is given every possible scenario my question is this how they expect your answers to be because naturally he is a great pilot but reciting 91 02 etc I'm not sure I can remember all that information
Lsa check ride next week, this is a fantastic resource!
That was really freaking useful. I noticed the examiner has a list of the topics he wants to go through. Is that available?
There's some docs posted on the resources section of the website that should have it up there. It's really just the ACS standard re-written.
The check list can be found in the Sport Pilot Practical Test Standards on the FAA Website!
Strange is that i have never taken any courses but i would answer 70%, not including those about the actual plane they fly how many brakes does it have how much oil is there etc. I guess before a check ride I anyways gotta attend classes though. Those questions seem very logical and mostly originate in common sense. Great job guys!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for making these mock check rides, they are a great way to study on the go and by the views you have is an absolute success. Please when you have a chance to make a fresh one for Private Pilot, would be fantastic.
I have been studying like crazy and am ready to take the oral exam. Best part - I have yet to start any lessons, so I will enjoy the flying portion a bit more... I got my written endorsement too. Now I just need money 😞. It will happen, I hope to become a CFI then entertain the idea of ATP. Maybe... I’ll be perfectly happy flying various smaller planes.
Most awesome video thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
Great Video & Very Useful. I don't believe this is a student answering the questions. Most likely, well experienced flight instructor.
This video was so helpful thank you
You're so welcome!
Great video, Thank you. I'm currently flying a Phantom ultralight and I'm thinking that in the future stepping up to sport pilot to fly a two place.
Take care
This is so helpful! Thank you very much for posting this!
Excellent video! Thanks! Only thing I didn't think was correct was glide ratio. My understanding is glide ratio doesnt change with weight, but the best glide speed changes.
Glide ration will change with weight. With more weight, you need more lift, more lift equals more drag, and more drag is less glide ratio. Another thing to think about, best glide speed also increases with weight.
I think the examinee has more confident than the examiner lol
Thanks for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (google it)? It is an awesome one off product for how to get pilot license without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate finally got amazing results with it.
nice job
The only differences between Sport Pilot and Private Pilot is 20 more questions on the written test for Private...more questions on VORs on the private. A night dual cross country with ten full stop landings. A longer solo cross country with more stops and longer legs. You must have a 3rd class medical or higher, versus a DL. You need 1 hour under hood for Sport, 3 hours under hood for Private. You can train for either in an LSA. You can checkride for either in an LSA
There is no requirement to go under the hood for sport.
Sport Pilot is strictly VFR so no reason to be under the hood.
@@joeaho4848 § 61.93 E.12, ps... PPL is strictly VFR also, doesn't mean anything
+1 [citation § 61.93 E.12]
Great information I have watched this video several times.
Glad it helps! be sure to share us with your friends around the airport and on FB!
Awesome video.. thank you for taking the time to make that! I’ll be watching this over and over the next couple months
That was top of the line. Keep it up.
Glad you liked it! Fly Safe!
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
Ed Norton did a pretty good job here
Sport pilot must carry logbook on all flights. 61.51 (h) (3)Weather min for sport in class B and G is 3sm, clear of clouds. Other than that, great video!
That's right!
Thanks for this super helpful
I'm glad that it helped!
Nice vid. Very interesting. Greetings from France!!!
Glad it helps! Be sure to share us with your friends on Facebook and around the airport!
Hey Fly 8MA.... Thanks for the great videos... You are making the LSA process seem easy and fun... Also love the 360 vids
Glad it helps! Share us with your friends on facebook and around the airport! Check out the new site at www.fly8ma.com !
That was interesting. Well done both of you.
Thanks so much, that's helpful for sure!
Awesome example! Thanks for the info!
You have or making oral exam video for the sport certified flight instructor ?
amazing explanation!
Glad it helps! Be sure to share us on FB and with your friends around the airport!
Isn't the AFD a chart supplement now. O how I love the way the FAA changes things.
It is now referred to as a "chart supplement" as it fills in the blanks the sectional chart leaves out. You can still order the AFD as the green paperback booklets for your region. Soon it will probably only be available digitally through the FAA and on Ipads, etc.
Most don't use paper charts anymore. And for some reason flight schools and flight instructors often still use them. A good EFB is legal and more useful. The sectional in an EFB is the same as the paper one so you need to learn how to read a sectional and later IFR plates if you go for that rating. Airfield AF/Ds are included in these EFBs and you can access them online at www.skyvector.com or other online tools.
Casey- "hi John, I'm Casey "
John- "hi John"
Lol
It was even worse, John said "Hi, I'm John" AFTER hearing Casey say "Hi John, I'm Casey" woulda failed him on the spot: Inability to take in information and adjust dynamically j/k
Very informative. Thanks for this video.
Glad it helped!
Wow, what a great test! You blew this out of the park! Fantastic job! You would pass your ppl no problem!
I was told the Area Forecast was replaced by the Graphical Forecast.
The big problem with a Sport Pilot License, as far as I can tell after looking in to it, is that training centers are only in certain limited locations around the country and you can't rent LSAs locally either. So, you'd have to take some accelerated training by going out-of-town for 2 or 3 weeks and then BUY your own LSA. They are probably going to raise the weight limits on LSA soon, so that the Cessna 150/152 and Diamond A20 would qualify, which would be great, IF the rental agencies will honor a Sport Pilot certificate. But, the world being contrary, I suspect rental centers will not do so. Another draw-back is that you can only use Class E and G airports which means you'll have to take additional training to get the endorsement to use B, C, and D airports.
Just fly a homebuilt.
It’s not that complicated to get the extra training for the other airspace and there are plenty of LSA rentals. Not as many as heavier aircraft for private pilots but there are some just fewer
And if it’s an issue for you, get your ppl. If you already have your ppl then it doesn’t pertain to you.
7:52 "Could be losing control of the aircraft"... At which point it ceases to be CFIT ;)
So you and the DPE's combined weights were 440?? Ok, I feel better now.. :)
I'm an atypical 220. So worried about LSA training.
I liked this video even though I am in Canada doing my Advanced Ultra light course....AULA, similar to light sport in your country. Do you have contact for school where you are Re further courses in LSA/ Motor glider etc?
For someone who forgets where they put their car keys it’s a little intimidating. I can know material but when asked my poor ole mind goes blank. Testnesia
Think of it as a conversation with another aviation enthusiast
What is the name of that white book you have?
Examinee is sharp. Examiner looks very young--how old?
those darn kids these days- they're kinda smart, aside from eating Tide pods. :)
Dude, you look so different haha. 👍🏻👍🏻
The examinee is not only really prepared , i think he could be a cfi the day after.
you look nice with the beard john
lol, thnx
hi john , brother do you example of Faa check ride ?
I’m working on my PPL can I take my written test in person just like you did in this video
Hey Jon, will the solo cross country’s need to be done within the year of the Oral? Did those about a year and half ago and planning to get check-ride this year. Thanks sir
hii cn i become a pilot i have learnt this video by heart and m having fsx x pmdg 737 with realictic version with all adons install
orbx aerosoft gex gsx etcc .. with flying exp more then 2000 hrs
but m just 12th commerce no science
and only 20+ q added in this exam
from private pilot oral exam
Hello. I've had a dui with a very low alcohol level. Does sports pilot check for that since I'm not going to medical 3.
As long as you have a valid driver's license, you should be okay. As far as renting an airplane? They might do some more digging but it just depents.
@@Jmurse89 nah. I'm fine as far as renting. Just got to fly a light sport plane. In my case a skycatcher.
I think the applicant did an amazing job despite the circumstances. The FAA examiner in my opinion was quite robotic and stale. I sure hope that my oral test is conducted by someone who is a little more conversational than this guy is.
Bro Bri I think it's cuz its recorded. He probably wanted to add as much info in the video so it won't be too long.
It's because this is a mock exam. These guys are both CFIs playing parts. Just one better than the other...
I would’ve used a bigger toy plane for sure.
The applicant is a cfi and the dfe is actually a cfi student
I need a ppl oral exam example
Stay tuned, will be releasing one in the next week or so.
See above my other comment.
Will there be an instrument oral exam in the near future?
I haven't found one on RUclips.
Yes, stay tuned
Great Video! please make it available for mobile devices so i can listen to it on my commute to work
It is available on all mobile devices, just make sure you are playing it back through the youtube app! Safe Flying!
Is there a difference between a DFE and a FAA employee giving the test as far as costs? A DFE can charge what ever they want. An Faa examination have a set price as a government employee. Also have the practical test standards changed now it's spring 2017.Was there a change coming in April or just a rumor ?Where can one get the outline the examiner was using?
The video was good ,almost to good, who was holding the que cards? I'd like to see one with a hidden camera.Sorry to take the hard line but one day my and my passengers lifes may depend on it. 90% is what 1 out of 10 times someone can cause an accident!!!!
DPE's set their own price, FSDO inspectors are free as gov employees.
Yeah but try finding one on the clock for free. Going rate is 750 bucks for a real dpe.
Can I become a LSA-CFI holding a drivers license medical? Also what are the highest ratings you can achieve holding a LSA license? For sure no night, but how about IFR? Unfortunately I have a medical condition that makes it very difficult to obtain my PPL. Thank you for all that you do!
I think you can add on cross-country and night flying but not IFR.
@@robertbrandywine Thank you!
@@theramseyclark You can also get endorsements (or whatever they are called) to fly faster than 87 kts and also another one to enter class B, C, and D airspace. Most people will need the latter to even get off the ground because their local airport (unless they live in the country) will be class D. With the basic license you can only fly out of E and G airports. This requires extra training to get.
@@robertbrandywine Wow, thank you for providing so much useful information and value
i dont understand why people use basic med. seems so restricting
is it a must for the pilot to be with the drivers liecence please cause me am starting from the scratch (grade (zero)0)
I would predict that the student wasn't really a student but was playing that role for us to learn from, he definitely knew all the correct answers and any variables that would arise, the examiner wasn't as sharp and had a script. I was impressed with the answers given and thanks for the insight.
this seems to be in Tampa.
KVNC
92% on your test. Im disappointed
I got a 92% also. It's kind of a silly exam and doesn't correlate well with practical knowledge. I hacked the test basically, and only got 4 wrong, 2 of which were memorization flubs or lost in translation (7700 vs 7500, wording on VFR corridor speed limit in class B question). I wouldn't put much emphasis on the 100% academic pilot vs a 80-90% practical pilot.
Would it be better to get light sport license before ppl?
For most people starting from scratch, you will have near the requirements in flight time to go for the PPL test by the time you are comfortable and ready for the Sport pilot test. I generally recommend just going for the PPL to start with.
Agreed, this test was a full work out. You would have been asked the same questions on the PPL Test!
Why does the DPE look like he keeps wanting to laugh or is grinning like it’s funny
Because he’s not really a dpe and this is just a mock check ride. Probably feeling a bit awkward
The interviewer gave me Ryan Gosling vibes
I have my oral and checkride on Saturday and I'm wondering about submitting a VFR flight plan. It isn't something I've had to do, but it is something that he touched on the questioning. Did you have to just explain the process or did you actually have to do it when you flew? I need to make sure I understand that so I'm not taken by surprise!
Also in regards to the Cessna Training Flight Training, they have a requirement of .1 for Actual IMC. The examiner did ask you about that. But, as a Sport Pilot you can't fly in a cloud and I see no published requirement for Actual IMC time, other than this .1 in the Cessna course. Is that something I need to be prepared for or was this an issue in your training? Did you obtain actual IMC time and if so, how?
Just explain the process. The DPE won't want you to actually file one for the pretend x country because the cross country portion will be over 15mins into the flight and you'll never get near your destination airport. Just make sure you are familiar with what a flight plan does for you and the difference between flight plan and flight following.
I just wanted to let you know that I passed my oral and check-ride this weekend. For sure, this video helped a lot! Many thanks!
Awesome! Congrats!!!! Glad the vids helped out. Stay tuned to our channel for our other series coming out soon, instrument, tailwheel, and UPRT
The most critical thing about the flight plan is that you A. make the one the DPE asked you to make B. be able to explain what is on the flightlog, namely fuel burn and reserve, hemispherical rule altitudes, course versus track etc.
How much does that DPE charge?
He's pretty over priced. $600
The standard is $500...so that price is a bit higher than average.
If they charge more, but have a cool attitude and are easy to get along with- it's worth it. I've met some grumpy ones that are hard to talk to, ask vague questions and almost WANT to fail someone over something insignificant.
He gave the guy a form saying he's got 360 hours in an ATP certificate why the fuck is he taking an oral for a sport pilot?
do I have to do an exam to get my ppl? also, what if you can't answer a question? that would be awkward
You'll go through almost the identical oral exam in this video for your PPL, if you can't answer a question it's not the end of the world, you'll get a couple free passes. It is a open book test as well. However, I would encourage you to study as much as possible, check out some of the other videos on this channel as well, so you can answer most questions off of the top of your head like we all try to do (but never actually manage to do).
Great answer. Thanks for helping others.
A written exam is required for all licenses. A checkride is also required which includes an oral portion and a flying portion. The oral portion is not a written test, you are allowed to look up an answer...the assumption is you know where to find the answer in the material. But they don't want you looking up most answers, just a few that stump you. The flying portion has a PTS standard of tolerances you must adhere too....this includes knowledge of preflight, fuel, emergency procedures, soft, short and normal takeoffs/landings, turns, slow flight, stalls and radio skill.
lol lil wayne.. really
Man those DPEs make more than rappers. Lol
Ha!
+FLY8MA.com Flight Training. it is a real job that require thinking and doing something noteworthy
ummm ummmm ummm ummm ummm
-v
This is ridiculous and long.
A sport pilot can fly at night so they're not going to ask you any questions about any optical illusions.
He's talking about are airelon and Rudder controls? Good luck getting that question when you're getting your powered parachute Sport cert,
This guy would not carry his logbook? But you required to show those endorsements in your log book.
Don't waste your time on this crap it's not realistic
You realize SPL includes ASEL right? Optical illusions, inadvertent VFR flight into IMC are 100% fair game for a DPE to ask. SPL ASEL student pilots (vh > 87 knots), literally, need instrument time before cross country solo endorsement, it's implied in the FAR: § 61.93 e. Solo cross-country flight requirements 12.) Also, SPL can only fly 10000MSL/2000AGL, yet i still got hypoxia questions on my written. Also, you think a one hour oral is long o_O? If anything, SPL oral is potentially more difficult because it's the entire body of PPL knowledge (minus tracking VOR radials, and upset attitude recovery, but seriously, that's it) + SPL limitations. Any SPL ASEL students (aka you're not flying weight-shift-control aircraft in iowa), you one billion percent should expect that your DPE is going to quiz you on how not to die in your airplane.
Piss poor examiner
Why
Wow! I didn't know the devil took a sports pilot exam!
yup, went down to Georgia and made a deal.
