Emergency preparedness isn’t just for checkrides—it’s for real-world flying. Then try it right after takeoff at 500 feet agl. Most serious home simulator setups will include at least two monitors, a yoke, separate throttle control, and rudder pedals. Start with a basic engine-out scenario at cruise altitude.

Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. Additionally, both private and commercial pilot checkrides require the demonstration of slow flight. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. What Is Slow Flight?

Lazy eights sound like the least challenging commercial checkride maneuver to learn. We counteract adverse yaw by applying rudder in the direction of the turn. The amount of rudder required depends on roll rate and airspeed. Airspeed and attitude change constantly, and we must change rudder input along with them.

Slow Flight Fundamentals To practice slow flight , first you’ll climb to an altitude where the whole maneuver can be completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL. The standards for slow flight on a Private Pilot checkride are: maintain the specified altitude, ±100 feet; specified heading, ±10°; airspeed, +10/-0 knots; and specified angle of bank, ±10°.
