Very good HS band! They sound and look awesome...but I only wished there was a screamer player on Cat Anderson's part. The young blonde lady, although solid, didn't cut it.

How much did this caust cost you?

This HS jazz band is smokin'

Hey bob i just want to ask does the dpe want to see clearing turns in all maneuvers or just in the first one

The young'uns be SWINGIN"!!!!

that was nice. cheers and congratulations!

Amazing musicians ! Brilliant !

Amazing! Jazz lives!

Great video, very helpful ! Thank you very much

Thank you so much for this video! Very informative. Getting ready to do my mock chekride and then hopefully will be a private pilot soon!)

This is a great video. I have my checkride in 20 days and am terrified. Question. When you had your radios disconnected, did you really get 7600 into the transponder, or you just simulated it?

Great detail, thank you That was one hell of a checkride.

great video! awesome flight!

Great video! Definitely don't ask the DPE for advice, he is merely a passenger.

Oh man children on the runway. Yeah that would’ve freaked me out if he would’ve said something like that during taxi, it would’ve got me. it’s pretty terrifying when you don’t know where kids are going to run around a prop extremely dangerous environment. That was a great job man. Thank you for sharing this.

goofty ahh lookin kids tho

That DPE a mofo

Great video!!! Can I buy those flash cards from you?

That's what I'm talking about!

I took my check ride in 2001 out of FXE. We spent about one hour on the oral and around 2 hours in the air. On our way back his way of letting me know I passed was who would be my first passenger ( my Wife) he then added that I was the most prepared student he had ever tested. I give this credit to Vishal my instructor. To him plus or minus wasn’t enough. He demanded the best out of all of his students. His reasoning was most private pilots first passengers are family and if you not good enough to fly my family then you’re not good enough to fly your own. He gets the credit for my success.

Killed it. Damn. Ellington is smiling. Keep the tradition high. Wonderful work.

What a pianoplayer… and What a band!!!

Dang you had me sweating YOUR check ride! Mines coming up in a couple weeks..I hope I have a different DPE..lol

Bet that Taxi felt like it took forever with your heart racing. Looks like a hard check-ride. I am not ready yet.

Nice Artie Shaw homage by Clarinet player.

I am training out of Ogden, working now towards checkride. With your very helpful video hopefully within a month or so I will have the same success as you did! Great work Bob, and excellent video.

Great video, just found it today. I have just started my PPL so my brain is fried at the moment. Pracising slow speed stall, steep turns etc etc. I don't even want to think about the landings lol. Nice to see what is ahead but at the same time bloody nerve wracking lol Thank you

Great video

Saxes need to tune

Totally excellent high school Jazz band.

I gotta learn this

Elated to stumble upon this. You guys killed it!!

Thank you!! I really appreciate all the details. I'm working toward my PPL and am feeling really overwhelmed at the present. So much to learn! Your video has so many practical tips. Thanks again!

This DPE sounds hardcore. A fire, radio failure, and broken flaps all in 1 flight.

Thank you for taking time to make this video.

I first came across this tune in the PBS presentation of "The Singing Detective", and I was hooked! Wow, what an amazing performance this was, what a lucky audience this was. MAKES ME SAY "THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT". They really are! They show such great enthusiasm and affection for the music and had amazing solos. Congratulations, Mr. Wenman

The piano guy has an excellent left hand.

Thank you Bob, this was by far the best PPL debrief video on CZcams, blue skies and tailwinds!

I’m glad I stumbled upon your video! Informative and now I feel better prepared for my check ride! Thank you for the video.

I'm just starting my quest. Have an AME appointment set up. Will probably need a waiver because of diabetes which is under control but taking insulin. I really appreciated the video but also very concerned that I may not be able to learn all the things you talked about.

This is great content, it would be useful for others to share their experiences too ( good and bad). While there is one ACS there seems to be a lot of deviation in what the DPEs ask for the checkrides. I think that your DPE was pretty tough, forcing you to have a fire followed by having to land on the runway as your simulated emergency landing ( not sure who had to handle the radio for that one if there were others in the pattern) and then turning the radio off and landing without flaps. Wow.

the 2 tenor and alto saxes Had a Great Solo! Me as a Bari , alto and tenor sax play impresses me on how good they did! and same with the clarinet player!

This is so relieving. I have my checkride in two weeks and I'm on the verge of switching instructors because my CFI has met with me in about two weeks. I have no idea what to expect so this is helpful.

Thanks for this video! I will be using this video as a reference in my studies. I'm about 10 hours into my training.

Passed my ppl checkride yesterday and just wanted to say thank you! I used the flashcards and the drawings like you did and it helped a lot, the oral felt like a breeze. No children on the runway for my practical but was ready for it nonetheless, thanks again!!

Honestly enjoyed the video 🙏🏾

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING !!!..That piano player and blond trumpet player are FABULOUS !!

Great video thank you 🙏🏾 taking notes and getting ready for my chedkrode
