So I finally got my CFI to schedule my Single Engine Commercial Checkride for next monday, the 12th of may. I'll be using a 1978 cessna 182RG. I've been studying the ASA Oral Exam Guide quite a bit and I plan on hitting it even harder over the next week. I also occasionally browse over the "Airplane Flying Handbook" to make sure I can properly explain all the maneuvers.
The Airwork is going well. Soft and Short Field Take offs and Landings are pretty much down pat. I also feel pretty confident about Lazy Eights, Chandelles, Eights on Pylons, Steep Spiraling Descents, Eights on Pylons, 180 degree power off approaches, Power on and Off Stalls, and Steep Turns. For the past two weeks I've been able to get them all within PTS tolerances on the first try. I really feel like I can get it done, but I'm being cautious to avoid overconfidence. I'm very concerned about busting this checkride do the wide variety of maneuvers applicants are expected to preform and the wide range of topics they're expected to know for the oral. One area I feel I need to brush up on are emergency procedures, I always try and have all the emergency checklists memorized before going into a practical. I'm not sure if that's overkill or just prudence, since I almost always have the checklists on my lap anyway.
So do any of you have an specific topics, especially concerning commercial regulations that might be asked on the oral but not covered in the OEG? What was your experience on the CPL ckrd? Anything unexpected or unusual? Any comments or advice are appreciated, thanks!
