You are a new commercial pilot. You have a close friend that is very wealthy. Your friend has just purchased a new Cirrus SR22. Your friend plans to sell flights in the aircraft. He wants to hire you to be the pilot. Please explain to me what steps must be taken for this to happen.


Your cross country flight is from KGAI to KWWD. Please complete a VFR navigation log. Please prepare a VFR flight plan and be ready to explain the purpose of a VFR flight plan.

Please prepare a weight and balance for the plane you will be using on the test. You will do two weight and balance. The scenario weight and balance is for two front seat passengers, one is 160 pounds and the other is 170 pounds. You also have a rear seat passenger at 150 pounds. Tell me how much fuel can be on board with maximum baggage. This weight and balance is for the aircraft being used for the checkride.

The weight and balance for the actual checkride is for you and the examiner. The examiner weighs 140 pounds. This weight and balance is for the aircraft being used for the checkride.
