hey

I'm having trouble passing the private pilot check ride... any ideas ??

I seem to be getting too high, too low, to fast, to slow
after I try to do the step turn

any ideas ?

Remember too look at you VSI. In a turn you want to stay level, so make sure that needle stays level.

I have problems with it too; a major humiliation since I passed the real thing a decade and a half ago.
Some of the checkrides in the game are buggier than a bait store; depending on the game it may not be possible to pass it; as far as I've learned from experimenting and asking here.

I dont want to boast, but I passed it with no problems.

I origianlly passed it in fs2000 and thought I might as well try it in FS9.
I had a half-harted attempt and thought I definatley failed, then I heard the "congratulations...."

Im sure I must have just been at the boundarys of acceptance, because she kept telling me to correct speed and angle of turn.

hmm maybe I'm just to stu stu stupid to pa pa pass it then

oh well I'll have another go at it

thanx for inputs guys....

I passed the PPL checkride in FS2000 without any problems, but when It came to the FS2002 checkride, nothing would happen after I completed the flight. This happened a couple times so I figured since I already passed the FS2000 checkride, I was still licensed

Lol you know I didnt mean that.

Just try my tip in the turns, see if that was the problem.

Look at the VSI needle at the time of steep turn. It is easy with the help of joystick.
