What else is available on the website? (ACs and, much more)
Are ACs regulatory?
Keyword = advisory, otherwise they'd be called Regulatory Circulars.
What's a stall?
How do you recover?
Can you stall in a dive?
Keyword = relative wind.
What's a spin?
Discussion on coordination, slips, and skids.
Do you need the rudder to turn?
How do you recover?
PARE.
Why do we break it with the Elevator?
Keyword = relative wind.
Discussion on coordination and ground proximity.
P Factor (bonus points for visual aid)
Discuss wingtip vortices.
Landing/departing behind jet traffic.
Do winglets eliminate vortices?
Discussion on fatal accidents.
Student pilot scheduled to show in one hour and ready for solo.
What does that student need in order to solo?

Standing on the beach, describe the airspace through FL700.
What are the equipment and weather minimums for our airport?
A student wants to fly solo from airport A to airport B, what needs to happen?
Flying dual with a student from KSNA to KCMA, is the Special Flight Rules class B (yes, it's not E)
Flying dual from KSNA to Brown Field, what altitude would you select for that flight, why?
There's a parachute symbol off of San Clemente island, is it a typo? (Navy SEAL activity)
What and where are MOAs?
Looking at only the airport symbol for K..., tell me five things that you notice (non-towered, beacon, 4 runways, services, and... it's public) Gave me public however he was looking for runway length.
Simple weight and balance computation for our flight in Cutlass.
What's MTOW?
What's ramp weight?
Can you use the MTOW figures published in a reproduced POH? (yes)
Given our weight and balance are we good to go?
Show me in the book.
Describe some performance characteristics of a forward CG.
Describe some performance characteristics of an aft CG.
Which would be worse to experience?
In the airport cafe you see some pilots drinking beer, they finish and head to the airplane.
What would you do?
Getting ready to depart Big Bear, would you do anything different than if at sea level?
Why is performance diminished?
Customer calls up and wants a BFR today.
Describe how you would approach the customer.
It's clear he's going to need a few lessons but, he wants it done in a one hour flight today.

What does high performance mean?
If you have your CFI certificate do you need endorsements?
Provide a lesson on Eights on Pylons. (points for standing markers on table as pylons)

A ceiling of 3,500 is too low, no.
-FLIGHT
Basically, explain/teach everything as if the examiner is a student, unless otherwise told.
Preflight

Chandelles in both directions
Power off stall recognition and recovery
Power on stall recognition and recovery
Unusual attitude recovery
Turns to heading
Eights on pylons
Emergency procedures
Short field landing
Soft field takeoff
Soft field landing
Shut down
Securing the aircraft
Extra emphasis on checklist usage, positive exchange of controls, clearing the area, and collision avoidance.
That's really it in a nutshell.
