Description

The flight test is one of the biggest milestones in a pilot’s journey, and knowing what examiners expect can make all the difference. In this episode, Dave and Tyler break down the most common weak spots students face, from forgetting key memory items like airspeeds to struggling with aircraft systems, airspace knowledge, and license limitations.

Drawing on real examiner feedback, they share insights on how to prepare beyond just the textbook—tying knowledge into real-world applications and emergencies. If you’re working toward your PPL or beyond, this conversation will give you a clearer understanding of what examiners want to see and how you can walk into your flight test with confidence
