An interview oral?

"Tell me about the last FAR you broke..."

I hadn't really though this one out in advance, so I was dancing

"What's the thickness of the windshield?" after watching me writhe in pain for a second, he decided to tell me he was just kidding.

On my private pilot glider exam. I was 18.

"Ok Ryan, we are gonna build an oxygen system together. What are you going to bring?"


My response: "The oxygen."
The examiner: "Ok, I'm gonna bring a regulator."
Me: "Alright, I am gonna bring a hammer."


Needless to say I had no idea what you needed to make an oxygen system.

Slide off the runway into a snow bank on my multi checkride. Still passed. Examiner knew he pulled the engine too fast on the ground roll and I could not control it. Runway was a sheet of ice.
