Default Checkride Guide

I've posted info here before, but it's been a little while. A few CFIs and I put together a site geared towards helping pilots prep for their checkrides.

This seems to be the time of year for people to be thinking about flight training and such so here's the link:

FAA Checkride Guide

Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I came across it last year before my instrument, and used it for both that and the commercial SEL rides. Helped me a lot as far as preparing goes. Only question I have is is there a source like this for prep for the multi engine ride? Since there is no specific PTS for it, I'm having some trouble finding a good source that shows the standards we need to meet for it.

Are you looking for a PTS for the Commercial AMEL? Section 2 of this doc:

http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/...S-8081-12B.pdf

This link is also listed on the above website as Commercial PTS.

Off your instrument portion of the guide:

"Review of the FAA requirements to act as PIC under IFR flights. 6 Approaches, holding and tracking within 90 days. How to get current again if you are not."

Are you talking about the 6 calendar month requirement for currency of 6 approaches, holding and tracking?

or is 90 days accurate and you meant landings?

Or just something I'm missing?

Yes, 6 months is correct, 90 days is not. It's been fixed.

Thanks.

why not just use the PTS? Everything is right there in black&white.
for one thing, as an example, there is absolutely no guidance as far as weight&balance calculations are concerned in regards to the cross country planning task on the website, but the PTS is crystal clear.
if it's not an FAA document, i never used it as a reference when i was instructing...way too much mis-information out there.
