You're welcome! Thank you so much for your interest in the ACE Guide too. Best of luck with your private pilot checkride!

Thank you for the feedback! Good luck with your checkride!

Great question. This would be something in the maintenance manual. Ask your A&P and they could show you. As a pilot, if you notice something missing, write it up and ask maintenance.

Thank you your vids have been very helpful in preparing for my commercial checkride

@@mylespratt7760 Great to hear!

I have an android phone but still use the iPad since it's the only option for the ForeFlight application. I like using both apple and android products.

Thanks, Mike! I think it's a awesome way to dive deep into topics and organize your ideas. It also makes sharing and collaboration with study partners easier. Of course, the ACE Guide makes it even easier to put something like this together but it works with anything.

You're welcome!

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped you out.

Thanks!

Awesome to hear! Best of luck with your checkride, let us know how everything goes.

I plan on doing a video that covers all the updates of the new Instrument ACS. There aren't a lot of changes but there are a few important ones that actually make the checkride a little bit easier.

Best of luck with your checkride. Keep up the hard work.

Yes, unstable air can cause thunderstorms in the right conditions.

You're welcome!

Thanks for your interest in the ACE Guide! I think you will find it very helpful with your studies.

Sounds like you have some studying to do. I would love to go into depth on every single subject, but this channel is mainly focused on how to use the ACS and what types of scenarios examiners could use. This isn’t a replacement for a good ground school or one-on-one instruction.

Check your playback settings, you might have lower quality selected. It should be fairly clear.

That’s great to hear! You’re very welcome and thank you for the feedback.

So good to hear you've been making good progress!

You're welcome!

@@SethLakeDPEthank you for covering the weather section. I missed PA.1.C k3a so I am so happy to see that. I watch your videos in chunks when I can focus in the morning. You are helping me understand the ACS. As a student pilot so much of this is jibberish until someone helps you decode it. Thank you, I may just pass my checkride, if I ever get one. Just need to finish XC solo and find a DPE. But I am being optimistic and studying now.

That's great to hear! Keep up the hard work.

It doesn't get covered very often and has some great information.

Glad you found it helpful!

I got an email saying that there was an update and a link to download the latest version. I’m sure if you purchased it you can go on his site and download the update.

Send me an email with your name and I can look up your customer account and send you a updated download link. Thank you for your purchase!

My bad! 😆

Thank you!

Thanks for you patience! Life gets in the way sometimes, hope you all understand!

I just sent you an email. Right now there isn't a good search function in the guide. However, it's very easy to navigate to a section of the ACS and find the specific item you missed. In most every case there is a link to another document that provides expanded information about that topic.

Great! Best of luck!

Yes, if you need more hours then get more hours. Don't think you have to do the checkirde just because you have the minimums.

Hi @badgerfishinski6857, thanks for the support and glad you're enjoying the content! You’re correct in your understanding. Since you've earned your Instrument Rating with a checkride in a twin-engine, you can legally fly IFR in a single-engine airplane. The Instrument Rating checkride in a multi-engine aircraft covers all the required maneuvers, including those that would be tested in a single-engine aircraft, plus additional multi-engine specific maneuvers like engine-out procedures. However, if someone earns their Instrument Rating in a single-engine, they can’t fly IFR in a multi-engine without additional training and testing, specifically for those multi-engine scenarios. However, always refer to the backside of your certificate as it will spell out any restrictions. Hope that clears it up, and have a great time at Oshkosh!

@@SethLakeDPE Excellent clear answer. Thank you. So in the second scenario, the additional training would be conducted by a MEII and then the additional testing would be a short checkride by a DPE? The short checkride simply would cover an engine-out IAP beyond the FAF? Is this correct? Or could the Checkride include more comprehensive multi engine maneuvers? (We are assuming they already hold a VFR only Multi-Engine rating) What would the additional Checkride cover? I think this it what I'm asking. Thank you Seth.

@@badgerfishinski6857 Appendix 1 of the Private Pilot ACS has the details: The removal of the “Airplane Multiengine VFR Only” limitation, at the private pilot or commercial pilot certificate level, requires an applicant to satisfactorily perform the following Area of Operation and Tasks from the Instrument Rating ‒ Airplane ACS: Area of Operation VII, Emergency Operations , in a multiengine airplane that has a manufacturer’s published VMC speed. • Task B: One Engine Inoperative during Straight-and-Level Flight and Turns (AMEL, AMES) • Task C: Instrument Approach and Landing with an Inoperative Engine (Simulated) (AMEL, AMES) Simply put, yes it's a very short checkride with just a couple of maneuvers you have to do in order to remove the "Airplane Multiengine VFR Only" limitation. This is a very uncommon checkride though. If you do the private pilot multi add-on BEFORE you get your instrument rating then you would have to do this. I would guess 95% of pilots don't get their multi until after they have gotten their single engine commercial done.

@@SethLakeDPE I agree it's very uncommon. The guy who asked me has a unique situation. His friend owns a Twin. First time I came across this scenario. Thanks for the answer and more importantly how and where you found the answer. This is priceless because I always try to find the answer first. I was stumped on this one tho. Thanks for the mentoring Seth. Btw ..KOSH is nice and cool (weather) these last two days. Wish u were here. Take care ...

Will do!

Thank you!

You bet! Yes! Very soon!

It depends on how you look at it. Since you're passenger was deciding on where to fly and you didn't have personal business to attend to at that airport it could be viewed as common carriage. Compensation can be anything, even good will. Is the FAA going to drop the hammer on you for doing this? Probably not, but that doesn't mean that it isn't technically against the FARs. The best bet would be take your hangar mate along as a safety pilot (if they are appropriately rated) and log some XC/sim instm time. Then they are a required crew member and passenger rules don't apply to them.

Thanks!

Best of luck with your training and checkride! I know the DPE shortage is frustrating, but hopefully the wait times will be coming down soon as the FAA has designated a lot more new DPEs recently.

That's great! Timed turns using the wet compass and turn coordinator only are great ways to sharpen your instrument flying skills!

Thank you for the feedback!
