His opinion. When I asked him to prove it he got a little testy and said he might just decide that I shouldn=99t pass after already debriefing and congratulating me. They hold the key to your airplane, but DON=99T let them feed you any BS. Side note: I was a check airman with the airlines. My first time failing a pilot, was our POI. FAA guy. You know what they say about payback.. Felt goood! he was a nice guy, but you call them as you see them.

Remember think your way though the questions. you can look up the answers if you need to they want to know that you know your resources. and remember it is never as bad as it is made out to be. don't listen to the horror stories there is a lot of "man Chuck Yeager couldn't have passed that one it was so hard" if they failed and "oh I am so good to have passed that tough check ride" if they passed. it will be a long day but there is a lot of stuff to cover all they want to do is put a check in the bax and move on to the next item.
