Triple-Check Everything
As Kenny puts it, “You can’t assume someone else handled it for you — because when you’re sitting with the examiner, you’re the one responsible.”
That means before your check-ride, you should:
-
Review every endorsement — make sure it’s signed, dated, and matches the correct regulation.
-
Compare your logbook totals to the FAA requirements for your certificate or rating.
-
Confirm instructor qualifications for each stage of training.
These steps may sound simple, but they prevent one of the most frustrating outcomes: traveling for your check-ride only to find out you’re missing something small that stops the whole process.
Finish What You Started
The Final Approach Course was designed for exactly these situations — helping students tie up loose ends, fix missing requirements, and finish their training the right way.
