Podcasts about checkrides

Meet Kamora Freeland, an FAA-certificated private pilot who, at the age of 17, became one of the youngest African American female pilots in the United States. Hear how Kamora—who had never even seen a pilot who looked like her—achieved her dream at no cost to her family. Kamora's advice? “Look into scholarships, because there are a lot of them out there that people do not know about,” she says. To get started, check out our list of organizations across the country that offer aviation-related scholarships.In this episode, you'll gain insight into the pivotal role parents play in helping children discover and nurture their purpose, the hard work and dedication required to become a safety-conscious pilot, and the resources available for those on a similar path—like the Red-Tailed Hawks Fly program. You'll also hear how Kamora prepared for the final test to earn her pilot certificate—the checkride. Checkrides test a pilot's knowledge, skills, and judgement. It's a hands-on flying test that aviators must pass to earn their pilot certificate from the FAA. Learn about training at faa.gov/pilots. Share this incredible story of determination, sacrifice, and overcoming challenges with your friends, family, and colleagues.Even more curious about aviation after this episode?

K-12 students learn STEM skills while designing virtual airports in Minecraft, guided by FAA aerospace and engineering experts.Meet Our Guest  Kamora Freeland became an FAA-certificated private pilot in February 2024, making her one of the youngest African American female pilots in the United States. She was a dual-enrolled student, a member of the National Honor Society at Kingsborough Early College Secondary School and made the Dean's List at Kingsborough Community College. Kamora graduated high school a year early and earned a Presidential Scholarship to attend Spelman College.   

Max and Jason Blair discuss recent changes in the FAA's aviation testing standards, notably the transition from PTS to ACS. Key updates include the conversion of the CFI test to ACS, introducing scenario-driven evaluations. New maneuvers, such as demonstrating flight characteristics under various conditions, have been added for CFIs. Instructors can now use pre-developed lesson plans, easing the preparation burden. Instrument rating changes allow using approaches with decision altitudes like LNAV/VNAV and mandate partial panel approaches to reflect real emergency scenarios. GPS databases must remain current. For commercial pilots, precision in power-off 180-degree landings is emphasized, and understanding ballistic parachute systems is required. These updates aim to modernize testing, aligning it with current industry practices and technology without drastically altering training content. The use of electronic flight bags (EFB) for planning and in-flight operations is now permitted, enhancing practicality. Jason assures that these changes will improve the evaluation process while maintaining consistency with previous standards, providing a seamless transition for candidates.

Business aircraft pilots often utilize their annual Part 61.58 recurrent checkride to not only demonstrate their proficiency in required flight maneuvers, but also as an opportunity to train on specific operational scenarios. The post Podcast: Recurrent Checkrides Are a Moment to Level-Up, Not Just Level Off appeared first on NBAA - National Business Aviation Association.

In this week's episode, PoohBear, LILO, and FLOWI sit down with Pony Boy, a fellow military flight instructor, to discuss the fun and games involved with checkrides and some tips and tricks going into evaluations. No need to chair fly in preparation for this episode, just tune in and get that current information.

Matt and Rob discuss how it's best to keep the "same day changes" for airline flights, not checkrides. Listener questions and fun stories fill the rest.

Listen along with us this week as we go through some scary DPE/checkride experiences.

Older episodes of the podcast have been getting audio updates thanks to A.I. enhanced audio. This episode has been enhanced by A.I. so let us know if you notice a difference. Rob recently returned home from recurrent training. Training has been spoken about in brief in previous episodes, but this time, we take a deeper dive into recurrent training and the day-to-day training schedule covering ground school and simulator training. Day one of simulator training covers many of the same maneuvers a student pilot would perform on a checkride. Some corporate pilots have checkrides on the last day of training, and other corporate operators do a progressive checkride. Both types of checks are a topic of conversation. PUSH ROLL POWER STABILIZE! What do these 4 words mean? What if the airplane is upset from wake turbulence and put into an unusual attitude? These four words have a significant meaning in UPRT or upset recovery training. Are you buying a plane? Aircraft Broker extraordinaire, Ryan McGill of McGill Aviation gives another airplane buying tip to help you make smart decisions when buying a plane. Ryan can be found at: McGill Aviation (@mcgillaviation) | TikTok TRAFFIC TRAFFIC - TCAS Alerts and more failures in the simulator. Just a few of the many tasks a corporate pilot has to practice and react to at recurrent training. Checkrides make most pilots nervous. Rob talks about his thoughts and feelings on taking a checkride. Tim gives a tip for making sweet tea. Rob talks about free ice cream and so much more. *If you are a real-world pilot or Air Traffic Controller and would like to give a pilot tip that may be aired on the podcast, please record a tip and send it to us.

From flight instructor to airport planner to B-1 pilot, Tom Curran has seen a lot in his aviation career. In this special Learn to Fly Month episode, he explains what he learned along the way and shares some advice for new pilots. As he says, “It's worth it, but expect it to have some challenges.” Tom talks about failing checkrides (he's done it), flying both the F-15 and the B-1 in the Air Force (he's done that too), and managing engine failures (yup, he's also done that). In the Ready to Copy segment, Tom gives his nominee for the worst maneuver in the ACS, talks about planning an airport on the side of a cliff in Telluride, and compares fly fishing to being a pilot.

recorded on the 29th of June, 2021 On Flight 82 of the Squawk Ident podcast, we take a look at some of the recent developments in the aviation industry to include the FAA's launching of a new Confidential Voluntary Safety Reporting Program in the wake of the Boeing Company's 737-MAX certification issues. We look at Advisory Circular 120-27F dated on the 6th of May, 2019, that has recently made an impact on some part 121 operators with their recent adjustments to average passenger weights. We even take a look at some record breaking fines that the FAA has imposed on passengers that have created headlines with their recent behaviors onboard aircraft. We are also excited to hear about Captain Roger's recent additional type rating on the Falcon 900-EZ, and about Rob's final flight on the B-737 and his ongoing transition to long term Airbus flight training experiences at Legacy's Flight Training Academy.

The PAVE Checklist has long been promoted by the FAA as a primary tool for risk management during flight planning. But have you ever thought it could double as a guide to your (or your students’) checkride oral?San Carlos Flight Center invites ATP/CFI Daniel Stellini to discuss the effectiveness of the PAVE checklist, and how it can be used successfully for flight operations and as a guide to your checkride. This seminar will go beyond PAVE as a simple acronym by presenting it in a highly useful format for all pilots. The normal PAVE checklist ensures a pilot can mitigate risks, and has gathered all information regarding the flight. In this new way of approaching the PAVE checklist, you will learn how it’s an effective tool for planning, learning, or preparing for a checkride.Whether you’re a veteran pilot, a student preparing for any checkride, or an instructor, the PAVE checklist (presented in this new way) can make you a better pilot.

In this podcast we talk with airline captain Steve Randall (redwoodbusdriver) about how to succeed on checkrides. Please enjoy!
