Default Tricky examiners

What other favorite examiner tricks are out there?


I'll answer my own post.. I forgot I had one :- )

I had been warned that my DPE did like to do one test...

One guy had a nice set up for his engine out and was gliding in nicely
towards an open cow pasture. At that point the examiner said, "Go ahead
and land..."

The poor guy said, "really?" in a meek voice.

He sat up straight and got a good serious look on his face and continued to
land.

At 20 feet AGL she called it off. Afterwards, she told him she was very
pleased with the way he handled it.
