I've been greatly amused by examiner trick stories lately, like Dudley's
story of an examiner bringing in his child to have the CFI candidate teach

student to find the ground frequency of the airport at the same time to see
the reaction.

What other favorite examiner tricks are out there?

Its pretty common to ask the student to do something in order to
distract them from making a mandatory call or pull the gear breaker.
