topic explains it all.. aircraft is steam guages, no gps.. has dme.. suffix A/
flight examiner asked me how to get ground speed on take off.. i cant use e6b, cant ask ATC (because they dont have time for that).. and cant use dme for gs departing KHVN (no vor there).. none of the instructors can come up with a way..
another question; planned a IFR flight KROC to KHVN, weather is VFR clear everywhere, used KBDR as alernate.. he didnt like it! because it doesnt have weather reporting? thats exactly what he said.. to me it looks like it has TAF.. other instructors told me you can even use an airport with no approach, as long as its VFR..
im out of $, out of options and out of time.. not easy to pay for training and work full time supporting new family.. idk what to do but if i cant come up with these 2 answers, ill fail the next oral..
another question, how do i calculate gs with out asking atc, cant use dme (tells u gs after you tune in vor freq) on climb out? cant use e6b.. he said, oh well winds can change on climb out? how do i get gs? its steam guage aircraft N1126U..
and he marked that i didnt know what sensitive altimeter was... my bad; theres just soo much stuff here and i never seen the older altimeter at rochester air center here..
long story short, oral was 2.5hrs and didnt get a chance to start the engine.. he scheduled another checkride 3 weeks from now, none instructors who were airline pilots can help me with these 2 major questions that i know ill fail my oral again.. he was BIG on these, just these 2 questions we were stuck at 20 mins a piece... man i went home feeling like my vains in my brain gonna explode.. i never felt that before until yesterday ... and when your tired and know you failed, you are so confused you cant even answer anything else normally anymore..
i still love what i do, and will never love anything else, maybe i am a dangerous pilot in his eyes, but ill continue to learn and not gonna give up.. and MAN!!!! the poh was in the aircraft.. i didnt have a badge to get it from aircraft at 6pm.. nether did the examiner..
