EP 43 Airbus H-1-30 Flight With Helicopter Pilot Examiner "Check Ride Tip"

Kenny, Chris, welcome aboard the H130 and I appreciate the opportunity to come on with you guys and talk about my top 10 pet peeves that I have. The number three, Kenny, is dress for success. I'm sure you've heard it time and time again. I've had have had applicants show up in everything from shorts to suits, shirts and ties. I've. If you guys show up in shirts and ties, that may be just slightly overdressed, but my thinking is that you probably don't need to wear that three piece suit. @ the same time, I would not show up either in the beach attire. I'm not talking about flip flops or I am talking about flip flops. I'm talking about shorts and your favorite T shirt that you got from Oshkosh. So maybe a casual dress would be appropriate. Khakis, a pullover golf shirt. But I guess the one thing that I just want to try to get through on this one, Kenny, you can't buy a second first impression. You can't buy a second first impression. So it's pretty easy. Just dress accordingly and part of the battle is already over with. That's all part of it. Absolutely. I agree 100%. And I've had this discussion with students over the years. I say at least, you know, a nice polo minimum, you know, if you want to wear a suit, great. That's probably overkill. Kind of like what Randy. But you certainly could. And it doesn't have to be a shirt and tie, but at least look presentable because you're going. It's almost like a job interview in my, in my opinion. You want to go in and show the examiner that you're prepared, you're ready, you've been through the pts, you look good, you feel good, you're rested, all your documents are laid out and you're having a good day. If you just come in kind of dressed. If I was an examiner and you got to do shorts and flip flops, I'd already be going, hmm, I don't know about this guy. He's not taking this very seriously. That's how I would look at it. Oh yeah. I'm not a dp, but I certainly would think that. I agree. So I think that's a great tip look to it goes in with. I still think all these tips that we're giving you and these pet peeves, it's all a part of it. You don't usually fail because of some. You forgot that the stratosphere started at however many hundred thousand feet you fail because of a bunch of dumb little mistakes you made. And start that check right off by looking good when you walk in the door. All right, Nice. Thanks, randy. So, top 10 checkride tips.
