Practical Test Standards: Instrument Rating (Airplane, Helicopter &
Powered Lift) - FAA-8081-4D
ASA reprints the most current FAA Practical Test Standards in this series of
handy cockpit-sized guides. Every PTS is written by the FAA and details the type
and levels of skill and knowledge that must be demonstrated before an examiner
can issue a certificate or rating to an applicant, and describes background
study and reference materials.
New standards were released by the FAA and are effective October 1, 2004,
but available now. This allows schools, students, and instructors 6 months to
either complete their training under the existing PTS (8081-4C) or transition
their curriculum to follow this new document. The following major
enhancements were made in this revision of the Instrument Rating PTS:
- Updated to reference current FAA publications.
- New abbreviations section.
- The "plan of action" is more thoroughly explained to include the
reference to scenarios.
- Practical test requirements updated to reflect current rules.
- Now clarifies use of GPS for navigation and approaches, and the
requirement for a GPS approach was added.
- Approach terminology updated to include Precision Approach (PA),
Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV), and Nonprecision Approach (NPA);
requirements for their use is clarified.
- Clarifies the requirement for the use of a view-limiting device.
- Discusses the need for testing in Single-Pilot Resource Management.
- Reference to the metric system is eliminated.
- Now includes PTS for electronic flight instrument displays, flight
management systems, GPS, and autopilot usage (for airplanes so equipped).
- Testing basic instrument flight maneuvers is now integrated throughout
the practical test, rather than treated as a separate task.
