I just passed my private pilot check ride last week thanks to the help of sportys and their online ground school as well as their free CZcams channel content. Thanks for all the great content you guys!
I have had some terrible CFI's and they did not log ground in my log-book and some of them do not even do Ground. They said go take it online. Well, I went to an in person ground school and took the FAA written and scored 98%. So this will be interesting getting that part in order in my log book. I have had some of the ground from the CFI however, they did not log ground in the book.
@22:18 Jason Blair is asked if completing Sporty's Private Pilot Course met the requirements for logging Flight AND Ground training. Jason replied saying that it met the knowledge test requirements but did NOT meet the Ground "practical training" requirements stated in 61.105. After reviewing 61 105, it states "..**OR** complete a home-study course on the aeronautical knowledge areas of paragraph (b) of this section that apply to the aircraft category and class rating sought." So is Jason incorrect with his interpretation of 61.105?
This is a really good, helpful video (well, most of Sporty's are, aren't they?). Thanks, you really covered it!
Awesome stuff!

So what happens if you have the DPE scheduled to come out and the weather goes south. How do you handle that with the DPE. I live in southern CA and we get, thunderstorms, rain, smoke, fog, fires, strong winds, low ceilings, extremely high temps and so on. It's all about the weather in Southern CA.
you can always do the oral portion of the exam and defer the flying part until later. In fact, the DPE could fail you if you do not use Aeronautical Decision Making to accurately assess the weather for a safe flight.
The quality you mention about the training has almost completely disappeared. Instructors are more concerned with their own careers, not on the duty they signed up for. Personally I think instructors should be required to stay until their last student is completed.
It's incumbent upon the student to decide who they receive instruction from. If the CFI is solely airline-focused, the student always has the ability to choose another instructor. Ask around and find an instructor you can be assured will stick around throughout the training cycle.
Can I ask the DPE to hold a map or help me look for traffic
