A Private Pilot student calculated a takeoff, landing, and zero-fuel weight using the Basic Empty Weight and Centre of Gravity data for a similar but different aircraft.

The Pilot Examiner asked the Commercial Pilot student to demonstrate a steep turn at 90 MPH. The student missed the switch-back point by about 30 degrees, and missed the roll-out (starting) point by approximately the same.

During the simulated forced approach, a Commercial Pilot student found herself high and pushed the nose down to make the first one-third of the field. The airspeed accelerated from the best-glide target of 80 MPH to 103 MPH.

During a diversion exercise assigned by the Pilot Examiner, the Private Pilot Student allowed the aircraft to skim the boundary of the Langley Control Zone without making contact with the tower (Class D airspace rules were in effect at the time).

During the ground portion of a Private Pilot Flight Test, the student quoted the incorrect maneuvering speed for the aircraft flown.

In preparation for the navigation exercise, the Commercial Pilot student flight planned for an altitutude that was IFR (in cloud).

During a precautionary landing exercise at a private grass runway next to a golf course, the Commercial Pilot student became disorganized in the circuit pattern, switching without apparent reason from one side of the runway to the other.

During a forced approach from 3000' above Chilliwack Airport, the Commercial Pilot student ended short for the landing owing to misplanning for the winds.

During an accuracy 180-degree approach, Commercial Pilot student used too aggressive and irratic maneuvering during the final approach.

During a steep turn, a Private Pilot student lost 200' of altitude.

During the performance of a power-on stall, a Commercial Pilot delayed the recovery because the nose did not appear to drop.

Slipping Turn

While attempting a slipping turn during the simulated forced approach, a Private Pilot student inadvertently skidded the aircraft by applying the wrong rudder.

During a stall demonstration, the student failed to advance the mixture and propeller before the throttle was advanced.

Single-engine Approach

During a simulated single-engine approach, the student was too high and elected to execute a single-engine go-around too late.

During a stall demonstration, the student failed to retract the flap and gear during the recovery.

Single-engine Approach

During a simulated single-engine approach, the student assessed the aircraft was too high and elected to execute a single-engine go-around; the examiner felt the landing could have been completed.

Engine Starting, Run-up and Use of Checklists

During a run-up a student was prepared to continue with a departure dispite fouled spark plugs producing a mag drop beyond the permissible RPM specified in the checklist and pilot operating handbook.

During an ILS approach, the student leveled the aircaft off at the decision height.

ILS Approach

During the vectored ILS approach the student flew through the localizer, exceeding one-half deflection on the course indicator.

RNAV Approach

Prior to crossing an intial approach fix during the RNAV approach, the student descended below the minimum altitude assigned by ATC.
