Learn to Fly Basics Course Day 10 The Private Pilot Flight Test

 

This is it, the day you have been waiting for, your Flight Test. This is the day you will hopefully become a private pilot and have your own wings.

 

On this day you will meet up with the Designated Pilot Examiner and begin your flight test. The test will probably be about 4 hours long. You can expect to sit on the ground and answer questions for about two and a Half hours and then fly for about one and a half hours.
 

You will want to remember a few things about your flight test:


1: The pilot examiner will have the attitude that you have to prove to them that you are unsafe in order to fail the test. Many people will say that the Pilot Examiner is out to get you. This is just not true. The pilot examiner started off just like you a long time ago. They remember the day of their flight test.


2: If you demonstrate to the examiner that you are safe, you will probably pass the test as long as you stay within the practical test standards. Safety is the main factor here. The Examiner knows you are going to make a mistake. All pilots make mistakes every single day. When you make a mistake you have to demonstrate the correct action to correct the problem. Part of the Private Pilot Flight test is testing your judgment.


3: If for some reason you do fail something, you don't have to take the entire test over again. If you passed everything and messed up your short field landing, then you will only have to take a retest on the short field landing. In most cases the retest is relatively painless. You go up with your instructor for a short flight and review the deficient areas and then go back up for a short flight.

Practical Test Standards: The practical test standards are standards that are made up by the FAA. The pilot examiner has to follow these as an outline for the test. Make sure you know the Practical Tests Standards. The entire test is spelled out for you.
