I did a checkride in 30 knot winds in the flatlands of Kansas, almost straight down the runway. It felt like pushing it for that airplane, but checkrides are so hard to schedule I went. I could turn tail, but things were not much better back further west. In a 172, near vertical takeoffs and landings are fun! What to do?

Each course will include an FAA written exam and a practical test known as a checkride at the end of the course. Whether sending a good luck text before their first solo or asking how their checkride went, showing them that you care to remember and understand the significance of their events will go a long way!

This was not a problem as it gave me time on something other than a tail dragger. I saw no problem taking him along as back then we could take someone up especially if it was a “checkride” or a budding “tug pilot”. The guardian had to give permission as did the ground marshall.

When you come back to your airplane 30 – 60 minutes later, there’s a good chance you’ll find a fresh layer of frost on the wings and tail. Let’s say you takeoff just before sunrise and head to another airport not too far away to visit the airport diner.

Going into a checkride (or a grass strip) without solid soft field skills is asking for trouble. Make sure not to pull back too hard, or you could cause a tail strike. Private Pilot and Commercial ACS Standards Are you preparing for your Private or Commercial Pilot checkride? Soft field landings are widely misunderstood.
