One local Test Officer has a reputation of asking PPL candidates to
"keep
going, lets see if make it" during the simulated forced landing to a
paddock in the exam. Drop below 500 AGL and BAM ...... test over.

As the PIC you aren't allowed below 500' (unless taking off, landing,
training for a rating or crashing), and you have shown poor judgement in
allowing your "passenger" to goad you into low flying.

Tough but real worldish.

Well, your premise is incorrect. As the PIC you are allowed to fly from
California to Maine with your wheels an inch above the terrain so long as
you 91.119(c) stay 500' away from any person, vessel, vehicle, or
structure.

And they aren't a "Test Officer". They are a Designated Examiner.
Somehow I think this is a troll thread. Name the guy. Name the FSDO from
which he operates.


California and Main are in the US. CFR 91.119(c)applies only to the US.
FDSO's only exist in the US and D.E is US terminology. If I recall correctly
the person you are quoting is from some other country where they are likely
to use other terminonolgy for things like this and the regulations are
likely to differ somewhat.
