We'll discuss scenarios and talk about the task listed in the Area of Operations (AOO).


Aircraft Review/Wt&Balance

You’ll save some time on the ground portion if you complete an Aircraft Review for your aircraft and have it available when we meet. It's on-line from my web site rickdangelo.com  

For weight and balance purposes, I weigh 180 pounds and I’ll have a carry-on bag of about 10 pounds.

You're welcome to use your laptop/tablet during your test. You should consider a backup form of navigation for the flight portion of the test.


XC Scenario
I’m your passenger on a cross-country flight to Lafayette Regional/Paul Fournet Field, Lafayette, Lousiana (KLFT) from your airport. Your flight planning should be based on the weather reports and forecasts available for check ride day. I suggest you consult the ACS with emphasis on the cross-country AOO.  It will give you guidance related to cross-country portion of your test.
