Private Multi checkride coming up

It's a statement of fear, anxiety, and general stress.

Spent the last 2 hours walking around the dining room table flying the pattern with engine outs and memorizing all 2836073129867 checklists... yikes... off to bed.
 
Pitch, Power, Drag, Identify, Verify, Feather. :)

You will be fine, don't over think things too much. The anticipation is usually worse than the reality.
 
Mixtures, Throttles, Props forward. Flaps up, Gear up, Identify, Verify, Feather, Cutoff...

Oh yeah and un-tie the plane...

Maintain direction control, pitch attitude, airspeed, mixt, prps fwd, flps/gear up, identify, verify, feather, cutoff, climb@88 kias, declare emergency, land as soon as practicable ....

little different, ATP apparently has their own standards. I feel ready for the oral, still haven't flown the seminole yet - and my checkride got bumped to next friday because of the holiday schedule. Basically I've been simming a lot, and working on maneuvers...sigh
 
Maintain directional control, pitch attitude, airspeed 88 KIAS, mixtures, props, throttles full FWD, identify, verify close throttle (failed engine), feather, cut off, declare emergency and land.

3 words for your oral: Supplament pimp, supplament. (first 17 pages) the sooner you know it the more helpful it is for your multi-comm and so on.

my flight went: take off, first take off roll failed engine, close throttles maintain control, break (smoothly). take off again if not this one then the next; engine failed at 500 AGL, make a single engine landing. off to practice area. Vmc demo to a power off stall, power on, steep turns, unusual attidues?, failed engine restart. of course you have to perform within ppl standards getting checklists done properly, radio calls traffic watch, remain within PTS as well. have fun man, maybe ill see you at your location during my xc phase within the next two weeks, tell us how it goes.
 
Checkride is this Friday, we'll see. I've got 2.7 hrs left to practice with - from 7am - 10am or so tomorrow morning. No thxgiving break for me.... Pretty aggravating that I was scheduled like that. Oh well. I'm done studying for the oral though, just simming a whole lot and getting everything polished up.

thought ATP was closed on thanksgiving? even CFI schookl got sent home in Vagas
 
Technically, ATP was closed for thxgiving, however a few checkrides were schedule the day after thxgiving so we had no choice but to skip it basically this year. Anyway, long story short, I was overprepared for the oral, and it was longer than usual, but just thorough, no surprises. The practical was a little tougher because ceilings were at 100 feet agl, and the weather just got to be rough, but I did all the multi maneuvers except a power on stall. Landings were beautiful, greased all 4 landings. Oh and did I mention, landing a seminole is a joke.

Anyway, so now I have my Private Single Engine land, and Multi Engine land ratings.... time to start on that instrument rating!...
 
try landing it from the right dude! it gets tricky visually and it messes me up on the flares, instruments fun you gotta do that long xc I mentioned 40 hrs in the sim and 25 hrs of flying.
 
Yeah, read my above post, it burned off in about 3 hours or so. Weather here in TX never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for the verification Cpt Bob:nana2:
