Narrative:

FAA air carrier examiner in jump seat. His comments to me after the flight: 1) he did not get a thorough enough jump seat briefing. Earlier I asked if he was familiar and he said yes. I did not give him the jump seat information card. 2) during the landing checklist, I read all items from yoke checklist, but flaps were still at 15 degrees vice 30 degrees for landing and had let drop over yoke checklist the lax approach plate. When flaps were finally placed at 30 degrees, I did not go back to checklist. I called 'flaps' from memory and after response called 'landing checklist complete.' FAA examiner did not like my memorization of any part of a checklist. 3) he also did not like a poor marshalling job by lax ground personnel in to the gate.
