Thanks for the heads up on the POH year thing. A C172N 1977 has a over voltage light, while the C172N 1978 has a low voltage light. I just figured that out now.

Thank Jason for the great info. I am about to take mine in a couple of weeks. I was wondering if you would share your slides so I could reference them other the next couple weeks leading up to my checkride?

Maybe save this video to a list? Then you can refer back as needed, good luck!

I loved the story about the college girl telling a Gulfstream to go around because the safest thing for her to do was land. With a DPE inside! Now that’s confidence.
I had a G5 come in behind me on my solo and I was soaking wet with sweat when I got on the ground. Haha.

21:28…. Are you an airman (consistency in performing maneuvers) or are you a hack?
Basically what he was saying IMHO.
