CRM with the DE
While training for my PPL checkride, I remember my instructor telling me it's okay to hand the sectional to the DE (just like I did with him) since I would use the right seat to place it when flying solo. During my checkride, when I asked the DE if he could please hold my map, he looked at me funny, but did it anyway. I thought I was being incompetent and felt rather embarrassed. Thoughts?
