Sold. I'll use you for my MEL add on. Wait, then I'd have to draw two blocks...Id have you draw out the engine too. And Id expect you to draw an empty block-square outline, with a prop attached to the front, with an arrow pointing to the block-square shape that's labled "engine".
Then you'd get the signoff.
Agreed, but grilling someone for 2 hours on engines is uncalled for on a pilot checkride. Most DPE's I know ask systems questions during pre-flight and run-up (ex. they might point to the landing gear squat switch and ask, "what's this and what does it do?" or ask, "what does it mean when you don't get an RPM drop when doing your mag check?") Those are all real world questions that incorperate stuff pilots must know in order to conduct safe operations and they also cover the systems requirement in the PTS. Then again, I've been lucky to have taken all of my checkrides to date with examiners who know how to run the test efficiently. Even my CFI oral was a 2.5 hour discussion that covered everything that we had to cover, just as part of a discussion rather than a grilling (which in turn makes it go faster because you can cover more ground in a shorter period of time).
Sounds about right.Id have you draw out the engine too. And Id expect you to draw an empty block-square outline, with a prop attached to the front, with an arrow pointing to the block-square shape that's labled "engine".
Then you'd get the signoff.
