Description

Triple-Check Everything

As Kenny puts it, “You can’t assume someone else handled it for you — because when you’re sitting with the examiner, you’re the one responsible.

That means before your check-ride, you should:



  • Review every endorsement — make sure it’s signed, dated, and matches the correct regulation.




  • Compare your logbook totals to the FAA requirements for your certificate or rating.




  • Confirm instructor qualifications for each stage of training.



These steps may sound simple, but they prevent one of the most frustrating outcomes: traveling for your check-ride only to find out you’re missing something small that stops the whole process.

Finish What You Started

The Final Approach Course was designed for exactly these situations — helping students tie up loose ends, fix missing requirements, and finish their training the right way.
