Private Pilot Checkride, HELP PLEASE!!!!

[Vette50th]

Hi,

I read the ground school and took all of the lessons until the private pilot checkride.

Nowi my problem is,

I take off, keep the runway heading and climb to 2000 feet just as I am instructed to do. Then the instructor tells me to turn left to 090 heading, which I do. Then she asks me to perform a 360 degree steep turn (left turn)

I took the steep turn and read the chapter on the subject several times and I fully grasped the idea. During the check ride, I start performing  the steep turn by banking the plane left (banking considerably more than the SRT) and keeping the airspeed VSI and the altitude fairly constant (all within the given limits for success +-10 degrees +-100 feet, etc. ) I also add some rudder so the slip indicator ball is in the center.

However, I always fail the ride during the turn. Or I perform the turn and come back again to 090 degrees and wait and nothing happens. I even time compressed the sim  after the turn to wait for her to say something but even after considerable time nothing happened.

What is wrong? Any ideas?

Thank you very much, I appreciate the help!!!

I think you'll find that theres loads of bugs in the checkride software .... I've never tried 'em but there have been several strings on this forum critisising them.
