The purpose of this flight is to fly from KGAI to KECG to conduct charity flights for an organization near KECG. You plan to stop at KDMW to pick up a friend to fly to KECG with you.

You need to complete a VFR navigation log and a VFR flight plan. Be prepared 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 a pilot and one other front seat passenger, 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. Please use the weight and balance information 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. Please use the weight and balance information for the aircraft being used for the checkride.

Be prepared to discuss charity flights as a private pilot.
