When asked why he intentionally damaged the book, the applicant replied that he’d seen a video where an online ground school instructor claimed if the applicant’s FAR/AIM looked old and used the designated pilot examiner would be impressed. The applicant promptly bought one from the FBO, removed the plastic wrap, then took the book outside and proceeded to rub the book on the ground, making the new book look worn and well-used.

It was agreed that for the check ride the applicant needed to have a copy of his own.

The CFI was the “finish up, polish up” CFI, and they had been using the electronic version, E-FAR/AIM, on his tablet. While going through the checklist for items the applicant needed to bring for the check ride, the CFI noted that the learner’s FAR/AIM was two years out of date.
