What is the practical test?
The practical test, also known as the checkride, is your final flight test before you can earn a pilot’s license (or additional pilot certificates and ratings). It is taken with an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) and consists of two main parts: a dedicated one-on-one questioning period by the DPE known commonly as the oral and the flight portion covering flight maneuvers. Both the oral and flight portions must be successfully passed to earn a pilot’s license. Fortunately Hemet-Ryan Flight School has a DPE in-house making the testing process much smoother for our students.
