I just called a local examiner to ask what will happen if the weather
isn't good enough to fly with my student tomorrow. He said that the
Sacramento FSDO recently told him that he is not allowed to begin a
checkride (i.e. do the oral) unless he believes there is a high
probability of finishing the entire exam. The result is that if the
weather is bad he CANNOT do the oral and save the flying for another
day. This sounds like a crappy policy to me. I always thought breaking
the checkride up was a great idea anyway.
