Although he may have an initially serious and/or rugged demeanor, John is more than fair. Knowing your stuff during the oral will have him rooting for you during the ride. John is very straight to the point during the oral and flight and quickly guides you through the checkride. Big emphasis on V-speeds, all performance charts and understanding Vmc.
