He is also required to ask you about topics the knowledge exam found you lacking in. The letters and numerals on the scoresheet correspond to the ACS he’ll be doing the exam from.
As for the flight I got thrown a real softball
>IFR runup >DPE larping as controller giving me a CRAFT clearance and me responding appropriately>Takeoff>Dme Arc>Partial panel RNAV approachFor bonus points larp declaring emergency and request vectors to vmc
>missed approach>hold>ILS approach>circle to landHe was prob gonna give me more, but we were busting cloud clearance. He must’ve liked what he saw.
