How difficult is the oral part?.


It's easy if you know the material. It's going to be related to practical
things like airspace, regulations, medical and equipment requirements, cross
country planning, etc.

Time is limited so obviously they cannot ask every thing. Is it possible
for a student to slip by on the
oral portion and just do well on practical and still pass?


It's possible, but if you can't do well on the oral portion the practical
might really kick your ass, particularly in the flight planning phase.


Hmm...that answers that question. We had some flight planning toward
end of class. That's when it really hit me that one actually has to
know what he's doing.
