I'm taking a checkride in this soon any tips? How in depth do I need to go with systems? I can explain the constant speed propeller, engine, and landing gear system to a some what higher level but some things not, (air conditioning climate controls) limitations and emergency procedures I studied well. If the examiner asked me to explain the electrical system schematic for example I would not be as confident. Basically do I need to give a engineer explanation for systems for commercial/CFI?
Had my CSEL ride last month. The systems questions were:
What instruments are part of the vaccum system?
What is hydraulic on this plane?
What type of flaps does it have?
A few on Pitot Static failures.
Describe a CS Prop, what happens when you lose oil?
No Landing gear as its an old Johnson bar mooney gear, so all mechanical
No drawing anything
As soon as TOMATO FLAMES FLAPS was written to start writing the required he stopped and moved on.
Most of it was on the XC, why I chose the route, a lot on weather, chart symbols, what charts do you use for planning, more on VFR sectional symbols.
Maybe 70 min tops on oral
