Episode 443: Three Pilots, One Lesson: Always Triple-Check Your Instructor
Update: 2025-10-06
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.
