Oral/Postflight

It started off and we went over paperwork and such along with casual conversation. He then proceeded to ask
about ground instruction. As in 'am I required to log ground instruction?' to which I pointed him in the direction
of the endorsements for aeronautical knowledge requirements. He then went on to talking and asking about
different scenarios like "So you endorse that a student has received the necessary ground training for but
something happens to their logbook. How do you prove the instruction was given." I told him we are required to
keep record of everyone we give endorsements to. He basically just went on to tell me "Keep a record of all
ground instruction given during every activity (if not in a logbook then elsewhere) so you can say I did give
them the training required." He showed me a type of sheet I could use to keep record of it.
Essentially just going over how to cover yourself in terms of legality.

He also passively went over why only iPads can't be used on checkrides. It was more or less that the ACS shows
certain tasks for completion that couldn't be done via foreflight.
He really likes finding "plot holes" of the FARs, so where things dont make sense. He mentioned at one point
how the PTS was different from the airplane flying handbook

Next he presented me with a X-C from KDAB to KFMY (in paper and on his iPad) and he wanted me to tell
him what I would ask a private student (who hypothetically did this planning) what I would ask him to make
sure he was good to go on this cross country solo, and give him all the endorsements required to be legal.
Basically ask anything you can think is important. Make sure the student realizes they takeoff from the shorter
parallel runway in Daytona, so go over some light taxi instructions. He said it is good to give them scenarios
where I play ATC and give them taxi instructions (For both airports). Ask where they plan on parking to get fuel
and what FBO in KFMY. I asked where he planned to park and he pointed to the taxi diagram, but I didnt check
whether or not the FBO was actually at that place on the taxi diagram. I missed that part. Make sure to go over
notams. *Check his ipad for what performance numbers he used* Route of flight was correct but the
performance numbers entered were very incorrect. Then I listed the endorsements needed and that finished up
that part. Make sure to state the Instructor given written must be corrected to 100%

Next he went really into traditional vs. authentic assessment. He first asked what they were and what the
differences are. He then started going over proper assessment in a conversation form basically with him giving
scenarios that he has been in on a checkride asking when you take the controls during the assessment. He says
students become too dependent on instructors to correct little things for them. The most in-depth example he
gave was a student was holding short to takeoff out of Daytona. He had the incorrect departure frequency set
and hadn't set his DG (steam gauges). He wanted to know if I would fail him there (the answer was no, so the
examinee had a chance to correct it). He lined up with the runway, still took took off, was told to switch to
departure frequency, and kept trying to contact them on the incorrect one. All the while he still hadnt fixed the
DG so when he finally got too far off heading that's when Luckett took over the controls and failed him. The
goal is to let students correct themselves and give them as much time as possible before it becomes unsafe.
That is what point he made for assessment. We talked about assessment for probably 40 minutes to an hour, so
make sure you know it well enough. It was also pretty easy talking your way through it. Understanding that
bolded line is key to this section.

We actually didnt go over a pre-planned maneuver, but at the end he mentioned it and I showed him that I had a
lesson plan for basically every maneuver.
We then went and had lunch at a place in New Smyrna

On post-flight we talked about why slipping is better than skidding/what the difference was and why. This leads
into cross-control stalls conversation as well. He brought up this webpage on the computer as we talked about it

Preflight
He went and checked out the aircraft logbooks while I did our weight and balance and he didnt ask me a single
question about our performance numbers other than private pilot-esque stuff

Flight

Performance: Chandelles, Lazy Eight, Steep Turns

Stalls/SlowFlight: Power-off stall, Slow flight into a power-on stall, Accelerated Stall
Instrument: basic instrument flying (HSI is broken, so we did some timed turns as well).
Ground Ref: Turns around a point directly into lazy-eights (He picked my points),
Emergency: Said we had smoke in the cabin from an electrical fire, what do you do?
Takeoffs: Only Soft takeoff
Landings: Normal, Short (talked about max braking/flaps up), Soft, P/O 180, and a go-around (for traffic)
