If you are not thoroughly familiar with the flight test aircraft, study the POH/AFM before asking the
candidate to demonstrate the ability to deal with various simulated emergencies.
You will request three (3) emergency procedures in the testing of this item. It is
recommended that at least one emergency/malfunction be simulated in flight. Examiners should not request
multiple unrelated emergencies at the same time. Candidates should be aware of the “domino effect” of
certain failures.
It is entirely at your discretion, whether the flight-test items are tested in the air or on the ground.
However, when safety of the aircraft is not affected, the attempt should be made to assess the candidate’s
ability to perform emergency procedures under realistic conditions. You should use a random sampling system,
varying the emergency procedures requested, to prevent ‘your’ flight test from becoming known to the
candidates and to ensure all systems and emergency procedures have been covered in training.
