Tricky examiners

the reaction.

I'll also add that on both my private and my commercial checkride the
examiner got really, really, really chatty as we approached the class
D airspace. Their goal was for me to be afraid to interupt them and I
bust the airspace.

That's why having a pilot isolate setting on the intercom is really
handy, both for checkrides and real life.

If the examiner asks why you went to pilot isolate, you simply say
cockpit management to elimate chatter at a crucial point in the flight.
