The 709 ride can be stressful, if you let it.
Most pilots have never even heard of one, let alone have to do it.
It is unlike driving a car where the FAA needs probable cause. They can request a 709 ride or oral exam anytime anywhere...
Anyway, my advice is treat it like free dual instruction. Use the expertise of the examiner to your advantage. Show what they ask, then seek feedback right away on how each maneuver went. If you treat the examiner as a resource, they might just lapse out of enforcement mode for the moment and the whole experience will be positive. Much depends on the personality of the FSDO person assigned to you. But, if you get lucky and set the stage right away when you meet them, with a positive learning attitude... it can be pretty good.


Thanks... my 709 ride was this morning and it went very well. The flight portion went quickly and we had a good discussion afterwards.
