↓ View 1 available gouge reportAs of this writing, only one report sits on file for Anthony Hentges, and it covers a commercial pilot checkride. The pilot described him as a friendly examiner with a fair vibe throughout the test. That tone matters on a long checkride day, so it is good news for anyone heading in nervous.
The honest part of this report is what it does not give you. The pilot noted that the write-up runs light on specifics you would actually use to prepare. There is no detailed list of oral topics, systems questions, or maneuver notes in this account.
So treat this profile as a read on style more than a study key. The report tells you Hentges keeps things relaxed and treats applicants fairly. It does not name particular weight and balance problems, weather and planning areas, or ACS tasks he leaned on.
For a commercial ride, prepare the full ACS the way you would for any examiner. Know your aircraft systems cold and have your documents and logbook in order. Be ready for the standard commercial maneuvers and a thorough oral, since this single report does not narrow the field for you.
If you fly with Anthony Hentges soon, you can help the next pilot a lot. Add the oral topics he asked about, the systems he pressed on, and the maneuvers he watched closely. One report gives a feel for the man, but more detail would round out the picture for everyone.
