THE RECREATION, PRIVATE, COMMERCIAL AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR PTS’S REQUIRE EVALUATOR’S TO TEST THE APPLICANT’S KNOWLEDGE OF CERTIFICATES AND DOCUMENTS FOR BOTH PILOT AND AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS. WE ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO TEST THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE OF AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE. IN ORDER TO HELP YOU DO YOUR JOB BETTER AS EXAMINERS IN EVALUATING THESE TASKS WE WILL DISCUSS, DURING THIS PRESENTATION, THE VARIOUS KNOWLEDGE ELEMENTS THAT SHOULD BE TESTED. PART OF OUR JOBS AS EXAMINERS IS TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS AND THEIR STUDENTS. FEEL FREE TO PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO THEM DURING YOUR MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS.

A. TASK:CERTIFICATES &
DOCUMENTS
1. pilot airworthiness
2. aircraft airworthiness
WE WILL USE THE TASKS FROM THE PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL PTS’S FOR OUR DISCUSSION.
WE WILL START OUR DISCUSS WITH AREA OF OPERATION I, TASK A, OF THE PRIVATE PTS. THIS TASK IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE COMMERCIAL PTS. THE COMMERCIAL PTS WAS MODIFIED AND THE MINIMUM EQUIPMENT TASK WAS INCORPORATED WITHIN THE CERTIFICATES AND DOCUMENTS TASK.
WE NOTE THAT THIS TASK HAS TWO MAJOR ELEMENTS.
ELEMENT 1 a. PILOT CERTIFICATE, PRIVILEGES AND LIMITATIONS. b. MEDICAL CERTIFICATE, CLASS AND DURATION. c. PILOT LOGBOOK OR FLIGHT RECORD, REQUIRED ENTRIES.
ELEMENT 2 a. AIRWORTHINESS AND REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES. b. OPERATING LIMITS. c. WEIGHT AND BALANCE d. AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

4. explaining private pilot .....

LET’S WATCH THIS VIDEO.

27. A.R.R.O.W.
WE SEE THE APPLICANT USED THE OLD ACRONYM “ARROW”. THIS HAS BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME AND IS A GOOD MEMORY AID. WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW IS GET THE APPLICANT TO EXPLAIN EACH OF THE LETTERS. WE WILL CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION AS FOLLOWS:

ANSWER: AN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE IS A REGULATORY REQUIREMENT TO CORRECT AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOUND IN AN AIRCRAFT, AIRCRAFT ENGINE, PROPELLER, OR APPLIANCE WHEN SUCH CONDITIONS EXIST OR ARE LIKELY TO EXIST OR DEVELOP IN OTHER PRODUCTS OF THE SAME DESIGN. “AD’S” MAY BE DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES: EMERGENCY IN NATURE REQUIRING IMMEDIATE COMPLIANCE AND LESS URGENT REQUIRING COMPLIANCE WITHIN A RELATIVELY LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. THE APPLICANT SHOULD EXPLAIN THAT “AD’S” ARE DOCUMENTED AND CAN BE FOUND IN THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE RECORDS.

THIS WOULD COMPLETE THE TESTING OF THIS TASK. LET’S NOW GO TO TASK G, MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST IN THE PRIVATE PTS.

43. FAR PART 91.205 GENERAL VISUAL FLIGHT RULES(DAY)
VISUAL FLIGHT RULES(NIGHT)
THIS TASK WAS INCORPORATED INTO TASK A IN THE COMMERCIAL PTS. FROM THE PRIVATE PILOT LEVEL WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE APPLICANT UNDERSTANDS WHAT MUST BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY IN THE AIRCRAFT IN ORDER TO BE SAFE AND LEGAL.
THE FIRST ELEMENT ASKS US TO TEST THE APPLICANT’S KNOWLEDGE OF THE REQUIRED INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT FOR DAY AND NIGHT VFR FLIGHT.
THE APPLICANT SHOULD EXPLAIN THAT THE OPERATIVE EQUIPMENT MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FAR , EQUIPMENT LIST FOR THE AIRCRAFT AS PER THE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL, REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TYPE OPERATION, AND ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON THE AIRCRAFT BY AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES.

44. INOPERATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT FAR 91.213
MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST
WITHOUT A MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST
THE NEXT ELEMENT HAS US TEST THE APPLICANT’S KNOWLEDGE OF PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING WITH INOPERATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT.
QUESTION: HOW DO YOU TEST THIS ELEMENT?
ANSWER: POSSIBLY SETTING UP A SCENARIO. YOU FLY TO PODONCK AIRPORT AND HAVE A $45.00 HAMBURGER. AS YOU ARE TAXIING OUT YOU NOTICE THE TURN COORDINATOR IS INOPERATIVE. CAN YOU LEGALLY TAKEOFF? NO, NOT UNTIL YOU COMPLY WITH PART (D): EQUIPMENT NOT REQUIRED AS PART OF THE VFR-DAY TYPE CERTIFICATION INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT UNDER WHICH THE AIRCRAFT WAS TYPE CERTIFICATE; INDICATED AS REQUIRED ON THE AIRCRAFT’S EQUIPMENT LIST OR ON THE KINDS OF OPERATIONS EQUIPMENT FOR THE OPERATION TO BE CONDUCTED; REQUIRED BY OR ANY OTHER RULE FOR THE SPECIFIC KIND OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS; OR REQUIRED TO BE OPERATIONAL BY AN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE.

45. INOPERATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT FAR 91.213
MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST
WITHOUT A MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST
ONCE THE (D) REQUIREMENTS ARE MEET THEN THE INOPERATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT ARE “REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT, THE COCKPIT CONTROL PLACARD, AND THE MAINTENANCE RECORDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH PART 43.9; OR DEACTIVATED AND PLACARD “INOPERATIVE”. IF DEACTIVATION OF THE INOPERATIVE INSTRUMENT OR EQUIPMENT INVOLVES MAINTENANCE, IT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED AND RECORDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH PART 43 OF THIS CHAPTER.
FINALLY A DETERMINATION IS MADE BY A PILOT OR CERTIFIED MECHANIC THAT THE INOPERATIVE INSTRUMENT OR EQUIPMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A HAZARD TO THE AIRCRAFT.
HIDDEN SLIDE FOR NOTES

46. THE LAST ELEMENT OF THIS TASK REQUIRES US TO TEST THE APPLICANT’S KNOWLEDGE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT.
QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT?
ANSWER: A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT IS A SPECIAL AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE ISSUED FOR AN AIRCRAFT THAT MAY NOT CURRENTLY MEET THE APPLICABLE AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS BUT IS SAFE FOR A SPECIFIC FLIGHT. SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMITS ARE ISSUED TO ALLOW THE AIRCRAFT TO BE FLOWN TO A BASE WHERE REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS, OR MAINTENANCE CAN BE PERFORMED; FOR DELIVERING OR EXPORTING THE AIRCRAFT; OR FOR EVACUATING AN AIRCRAFT FROM AN AREA OF IMPENDING DANGER. YOU OBTAIN A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT FROM YOUR LOCAL FLIGHT STANDARDS DISTRICT OFFICE.
