The Check Ride

The check ride is a significant milestone in achieving your Private Pilot Certificate. You will fly with a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) to ensure you meet all the Airman Certification Standards (ACS) requirements.


The check ride comprises two parts:


  1. Oral Exam: A 2.5-hour session that tests your flight knowledge and understanding of aviation rules and regulations.
  2. Flight Test: An assessment of your flying skills and ability to perform maneuvers to the ACS standards.

 

The team at Fredrickson Aviation is committed to helping you pass on your first attempt.

When you pass both the oral exam and flight test, you will earn your Multi-Engine Rating. You'll be ready to enjoy the freedom of flight!
