Tips for your FAA Private Pilot exam
Stall it, spin it, and wing it. Dont die.
Your ability to fly is going to be judged by your ability to perform risky aerial maneuvers. If you are looking for great effect, I recommend doing a barrel roll.
Your evaluation will also depend on your ability to take off straight from the hangar. Contact with the ATC is strictly forbidden during such an evaluation.
I truly recommend entering no fly zones. There are no flies there, so you can enjoy a peaceful $100 cheeseburger.
Make sure you bring the nose up as high as possible on take off with minimal thrust.
Impress the examiner by turning off all the radios and giving him a tour of area 51
A key part of the grading is doing as much of the landing as possible without touching the controls.
Put the four numbers "7500" in the little box under the radio stack, then fly to Washington D.C. That code specifically allows you to enter their airspace without talking to anyone. Some say you can even see some fireworks on the way in.
Another plus of visiting DC is the White House lawn. It is an excellent place to demonstrate a short field landing
Don't listen to those pesty cocky fighter pilots telling you to divert. They just ruin the fun.
For an extra challenge, pull the funny looking red knob thingy out immediately after takeoff. It is said to be VERY fuel efficient.
Remember to fly straight through thunderstorms. The strong updrafts provide extra lift, saving fuel.
If the cockpit gets too cold, just turn off the giant fan in front. This will also make the flight much quieter which your examiner will appreciate. He may even get hot and start sweating, maybe even yelling. This means you did the right thing.
Get tutored by Colton Harris Moore. Ensure to mention this to the examiner.
Give your examiner a tour of some really cool places in your area- nuclear power plants, military bases, governmental buildings, etc. Be sure to turn the radios off, they'll only ruin the moment. The closer you get, the better.
If any fighters show up, they love to play tag- I think "safe" is anywhere over a school.
There's certain areas marked on charts. They're outlined in solid blue lines with blue tickmarks all around the inside edge and labeled "R-" and some numbers. That R means it's a recreational airspace, where you can go do flips and stuff.
When you stall, pull the power out, dip a wing and yaw in that direction to get your nose back down real quick.
According to another student I was talking to, it's a time-honored tradition to do a go around, point the nose at the Tower, and yell "Allah Akbar" repeatedly into the mic. The guy who told me about this was a Middle East student named Rashid-Alahaminik-Qaaihil-Haabi-something-or-other but now that I think about it, he never mentioned at what point to turn away...
Always offer the examiner a drink from your bottle of whatever alcohol you prefer. It is shown to raise chances of passing by 30-40%.
