Generally I like the idea of keeping the pattern similar to a normal landing but winds can prevent that from happening. If you have a strong crosswind, you’ll have to start Turing toward the approach end of the runway immediately or you’ll never make it

[@dreamcreator2552]

The reality is “every day is a new day.” Winds are everything. On check-ride day go out early before the start of the check-ride and practice for the conditions on that day. Yes, things can change and they can also stay the same or be similar. Practicing an hour before the start of your ride/oral will also give you confidence no matter what the winds are.

Also on the checkride, no GA is allowed. 😂

I’m sure an understanding examinar would appreciate a well executed GA, rather than desperately trying to stretch a glide which will inevitably lead to an undesired outcome and a failed test.

@@zarmrilThere are some DPEs that allow a go-around, even though that is not in the ACS. It is best to ask the DPE ahead of time so you know what to do when the time comes.
