Ok here is the gouge for my Commercial AMEL check ride with Fred Saverance in KFLO, SC.
Oral
The oral portion was about thirty minutes long and we just went over systems and some procedures of the aircraft because I have already gone over the commercial oral with him before.
- We went over aircraft records and performance calculations.
Here are some questions he asked
- How does the anti-servo tab work?
- How many lights are supposed to show on the announciator panel when one engine is operating and one is not?
- The lights in the back of the Seminole are connected to which lights the anti collision or nav lights?
- Talk me through a Vmc Demonstration.
- What happens if a pencil would hit the pitot drain and press the button on the left side of the seat?
Honestly he didnt ask to many more ?'s after that, i forgot the rest but they were easy. He asks tricky questions and doesn't care if you don't know them he will show you the answer during the ride.
Flight Test
We departed runway 9 (he will pull mixture back on takeoff roll) and went to the southeast to do manuevers. First started off with a power on stall, then power off stall, steep turns and a VMC Demo. Then he will cut your fuel on one engine and you have to use the checklist and attempt to restart, then secure, and then air start (unfeather) procedure. After that we shot the VOR-A approach and landed with a simulated engine failure on the left engine. The flight was a easy 45 minutes, Fred likes to play with the circuit breakers and other stuff in the plane.
Overall the checkride was a piece of cake, if you go to him you will pass if you know your stuff and just fly the airplane.
