  3. Presenter • Steven Brady • Aviation Safety Inspector, Orlando FSDO • Airline Transport Pilot • Former pilot examiner • Flight Instructor

  4. PTS Introduction • “Flight instructors are expected to use this book when preparing applicants for practical tests. Applicantsshould be familiar with this book and refer to these standards during their training.” PTS available at http://afs600.faa.gov

  5. Additional benefits This presentation can be used for: • Wings phases • Refresher • Flight reviews

  6. Contrary to common misconception… There is no formal division between the ‘oral’ and the ‘skill’ portions of the practical test.

  7. Special Emphasis Areas • Positive aircraft control • Procedures for positive exchange of flight controls • Stall/spin awareness • Collision avoidance • Wake turbulence avoidance

  8. Special Emphasis Areas (cont.) • Land and Hold Short Operations • Runway incursion avoidance • Controlled flight into terrain • Aeronautical decision making • Checklist usage • Other areas as appropriate

  9. Special Emphasis Areas (cont.) Land and Hold Short Operations Runway incursion avoidance Controlled flight into terrain Aeronautical decision making Checklist usage Other areas as appropriate

  10. Applicant’s Practical Test Checklist • Aircraft Documents: Airworthiness Certificate Registration Certificate Operating Limitations ACCEPTABLE AIRCRAFT:
