TP 14277

This item must be assessed on a continuing basis throughout the flight test and a mark awarded only after the final landing. This will ensure that the candidate is assessed on the departure and entry procedures as well as a complete circuit after take-off leading to a landing.

Examiners are expected to familiarize themselves with the type of circuit, speeds, heights, and power settings the school uses in training.

Whenever possible, use both controlled and uncontrolled aerodromes during the test. The candidate should be questioned on controlled aerodrome procedures or given simulated ATC clearances and instructions when the test is entirely conducted at uncontrolled aerodromes. Conversely, the candidate’s knowledge of uncontrolled aerodromes should be ascertained when the test is entirely conducted at controlled aerodromes.
