OBJECTIVE - WHAT CAN YOU DO?
EXAMINER EMPHASIS ITEMS • COLLISION AVOIDANCE • RUNWAY INCURSION AVOIDANCE
PRACTICAL TEST REQUIREMENTS • A.O. AIRPORT OPERATIONS • TASK: RADIO COMMUNICATIONS • AND ATC LIGHT GUN SIGNALS • TRAFFIC PATTERNS • AIRPORT AND RUNWAY • MARKINGS AND LIGHTING
DURING THE TEST • Is the applicant familiar with the airport diagram • --before leaving the ramp • --for both the airport of origin and the destination airport • At towered airports does the applicant • --know standard signs and markings • --know standard pilot/controller terminology • --ask for “progressive” taxi assistance if necessary
DURING THE TEST • at non-towered airports does the applicant • --use the radio to make their position and intentions known • --use the radio to listen to other traffic • --clear aircraft visually prior to departing the ramp, along the taxi route, and prior to entering the active runway. This also applies to procedures after landing: clear of the active runway, cross other runways and taxiways only after assuring that they are not being used by other aircraft.
DURING THE TEST • DO THE APPLICANTS USE THEIR SENSES • THEIR EYES ? • THEIR EARS ? • THEIR BRAIN--RESULTING IN DECISION MAKING. • ARE THEY MAKING DECISIONS AND BEING PIC?
