Today we’re going over How the Private Pilot Checkride Works. Following the standards of the ACS, things should go as described in the video, but every DPE is different and can present the checkride, or practical test as it’s actually called, in their own unique way.
The Airmen Certification standards were announced on June 15, 2016. Transitioning from the PTS to the ACS began at this time. On June 12, 2017 a revised version of the ACS was released, and official standards for the commercial pilot certificate were incorporated. This is why we chose June 12 as the start date for our information, because the ACS had a complete set of standards. Possibly a technicality on the start date, but I just wanted to set the record straight.
We recognize that the audio in this is a bit louder then we wanted. Sorry about that, we'll fix it in the next one.
