Senario #114
(If the checkride shown changes after you have started planning you may use the original you started – Make a Copy!!)
Scenario – COMMERCIAL – 4 seat aircraft (Two-seat aircraft eliminate the rear passenger)
A lawyer friend overheard you are a newly certified Commercial Pilot.
He owns the same aircraft that you plan to fly for the checkride today, he also owns a Cessna 182RG, and a Beech Baron twin engine aircraft.
He would like you to fly him in his plane as his employee to Norfolk Executive Airport (KORF) for a hearing on zoning issues regarding the airport’s future. The hearing takes place promptly at 3pm on the day of the checkride. He will pay you an agreeable wage to fly him to the event. You want to keep him happy if possible but make changes to the location of individuals on-board, amount of fuel, baggage, etc. if needed, to meet your personal minimums.
Your Weight
Your examiner weighs 170 lbs but he is not going. You are doing this trip as your first job as a newly minted Commercial Pilot.
The lawyer weighs 190 pounds and he wants to bring along a law clerk who weighs 160 lbs if possible. You decide what you can do.
Remember your tip and repeat business depend on what you can do to help the lawyer
-50 pounds of luggage/documents
*Use current weather for the checkride day
UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY EXAMINER, THE DEPARTURE AIRPORT FOR THIS SCENARIO IS THE AIRPORT WHERE THE CHECKRIDE IS CONDUCTED.
Please complete the weight and balance plus a performance expectation for take-off distance and landing distances.
Flight planning must be complete with the entire trip shown either electronically or on-paper. I will want to see your proposed VFR flight plan.
We will test both “Pilotage and Dead Reckoning” as per the ACS. No GPS on the first portion but you can use VORs.
Please use only VFR charts and pick close and identifiable VFR checkpoints (not towns) for the first two or three (5-10 nm) but all checkpoints for the trip should be listed. Please pick at least two identifiable checkpoints before arriving in Roanoke’s airspace. Complete your planning for the entire trip.
