Kind of reminds me of my private pilot checkride. The Examiner had me put the plane in a left turn and fly as slow as possible without stalling, then he lit into me with all manner of expletives and how I was going to fail the test.....I wanted to punch him out.

After we landed he told me that was just part of the “distractions” the Examiner is required to do during the checkride. I guess it is left up to the Examiner how to distract the pilot. Fortunately I kept my cool and passed. He got in some doozy insults though that still sting when I think back on it.....LOL!

I've been yelled at by a flight instructor too but this was far different. The Jordanian was intentionally trying to crash the airplane and it was near Pratt and Whitney.

The CNN article try to hide the fact that anyone with an IQ even a little above dirt would say this was PROBABLY a Muslim terrorist attack trying to kill Americans.

The Muslim missed the Pratt and Whitney plant because of the struggle with the instructor. The gubermint is obviously trying to say this was suicide. .

When I took my check ride, the examiner told me to set a course for somewhere. I did and then he told me I was going the wrong way. I explained the route I was taking and that was that. Yeah, I think he was trying to rattle me a bit. However, no expletives.

My check ride was in a 152. Check pilot said her shoe was untied and when she leaned down to tie it, she shut the fuel. She played it scared really well too..
