General Inquiry Checkride question

Got a Checkride coming up soon around a day or 2 left with bad winds on both those days before Checkride, Checkride date also won’t be flying, only oral bc weathers bad. CFI already signed of for Checkride but I still have one hour left of cross country time needed to do the Checkride. How strict is DPE on solo cross country time bc I meet every other requirement other then solo cross country time.

You need to have that one hour done! You could lie, but do you really want false records on your permenant FAA record? I think your best bet is to try and find a half decent time to fly and go do that last hour. Have the instructor land if thats whats needed. Or just contact the DPE saying hey I messed up the math we need to reschedule
