Just my opinion...
Yeah thats what everybody says. His checkrides are really intresting. On my multi commercial he pulled the mixture on the ground roll with a sheet of ice for a rwy. Needless to say we went right off the rwy. Lucky the rwy is snow blowed and it was light fluffy snow so he got out and checked the airplane. We started the engine and taxied out and took off. That was probably the worst checkride I ever had. The door poped open twice after takeoff and just a disaster but I passed. I thought for sure I failed after going off the rwy but, I think he realized it was his fault.
