I am already a private pilot as of a few months ago, but I am now completing the practical course for private pilots. I think Kings has done a great job of sharing the experience of an actual private pilot checkride. The reason I've decided to do the course now is for the purpose of review. I've not been PIC for a couple months and wanted to get myself a bit more familiarized before I hop back into the cockpit. I like that a standard, frequently used aircraft (C172) was selected as the aircraft for John's checkride. He also does a good job of "thinking out loud," which is something I found extremely helpful during my instruction days. John King's checkride demonstrated a very accurate picture of what a student pilot can expect on their own examination day. I found myself having flashbacks of my own checkride the whole way through this course. It was totally realistic, and was full of teaching-type feedback at all points of the course!
