Yes, It's been awhile since I've posted.  I lost the password to this website.  Oh well, I'm back.

I know most of you reading this are looking for the checkride gouge or what issues I'm seeing on checkrides.  Here it goes.....

Private and Commercial ASEL:  Take-offs:  Lack of Crosswind control.  Landings: crosswind control, unstable approaches (usually to fast), landing on the nose-wheel and failure to land on the desired touchdown point with in ACS requirements.

Instrument:  Oral:  Lost com procedures,  DME arc procedures, and knowledge of your avionics.  Flight:  Busting DA or MDA have been big issues and failure to maintain course within 3/4 when inside the FAF. 

Multi Engine:  Failure to maintain aircraft control in either heading, altitude or airspeed.  I've posted on this before so I recommend reading those other post.  I had 4 commercial applicants violate airspace last year.  This can only be attributed to a loss of Situational Awareness, most likely brought on by checkride stress.  Relax, Breath and fly the airplane.

Helicopter:  These rides have been doing pretty well lately.  Some of the weak areas on both the Private and Commercial level have been Airspace, Weather and cross-country planning.

I'll post on the CFI ratings later.
