The aim of a flight test is to:
(a) determine that the candidate meets the skill requirements for the licence or rating sought;
(b) improve the standards of instruction and training of those exercises and procedures that are
weak or commonly failed through feedback of information to the flight training units;
(c) ensure acceptable levels of safety are maintained and improved throughout the aviation industry
by requiring the application of sound airmanship and flight discipline.
The role of an examiner is to evaluate the knowledge and ability of candidates to determine whether they
meet the required standard for a licence or rating. Examiners are professional, well-experienced pilots that
are very familiar with the flight test for which they hold an accreditation. However, the marking or
assessment decisions required to complete the evaluations on the flight test form are not so well known. The
evaluation and assessments awarded will become more accurate and valid as a Pilot Examiner becomes more
familiar with the evaluation process.
