Anyone done the Class A Non-Commercial in Cali?

I don't think there is a Class A NCDL... I have a Class B NCDL and that sounds like what you are talking about. To answer your question....The "back in" test was indeed made with orange cones and I had to start out perpendicular to the spot and had one chance to get out and look. Also, there was a line marked on the ground at the end of the cones and I had to stop within 3' of it and could not go over.

Hope this helps
