Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the requirements to act as
pilot in command under IFR in the National Airspace System
by describing:
a. instrument rating recent flight experience requirements.
b. requirements when recent instrument rating flight
experience has not been met.
c. pilot logbook/flight recordkeeping.
アメリカの空域で計器飛行をする際に、PIC機長に求められる物を聞かれます。 必要な最近の飛行経験やそれに足りない場合の対応策、そしてログブックにに必要な事柄。
ここらは必ず聞かれる項目になってますので、TASKの一つになってます。
（各タスクが義務付けられる試験項目です）
NOTE: Where current weather reports, forecasts, or other pertinent
information is not available, this information will be simulated by the
examiner in a manner that will adequately measure the applicant’s
competence.
最新の気象などの必要な情報が得られない場合は、試験官が受験者の知識を確認する為に仮説（Simulated)する場合があります。
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements related to
aviation weather information by obtaining, reading, and
analyzing the applicable items, such as-
a. weather reports and forecasts.
b. pilot and radar reports.
c. surface analysis charts.
d. radar summary charts.
e. significant weather prognostics.
f. winds and temperatures aloft.
g. freezing level charts.
h. stability charts.
i. severe weather outlook charts.
j. SIGMETs and AIRMETs.
k. ATIS reports.
上記の気象情報に関しての項目です。 収得方法、読み方や解析する事が試験されます。
2. Correctly analyzes the assembled weather information
pertaining to the proposed route of flight and destination
airport, and determines whether an alternate airport is
required, and, if required, whether the selected alternate
airport meets the regulatory requirement.
得られた気象情報を元に、予定地までの判断をする項目です。 この中には、Alternateの必要性や、目的地や代替地に単に行けるか行けないかの判断も含まれます。 無理な判断は不合格の可能性が高いでしょう。でも行かないと言う判断をしても不合格になるとは限りません。単に試験が遅れるか、違う方向に行くかです。
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements by presenting
and explaining a preplanned cross-country flight, as previously assigned by the examiner (preplanning is at
examiner’s discretion). It should be planned using actual
weather reports/forecasts and conform to the regulatory
requirements for instrument flight rules within the airspace
in which the flight will be conducted.
2. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the aircraft’s performance
capabilities by calculating the estimated time en route and
total fuel requirement based upon factors, such as-
a. power settings.
b. operating altitude or flight level.
c. wind.
d. fuel reserve requirements.
e. weight and balance limitations.
3. Selects and correctly interprets the current and applicable
en route charts, instrument departure procedures (DPs),
RNAV, STAR, and Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
Charts (IAP).
4. Obtains and correctly interprets applicable NOTAM
information.
5. Determines the calculated performance is within the
aircraft’s capability and operating limitations.
6. Completes and files a flight plan in a manner that
accurately reflects the conditions of the proposed flight.
(This flight plan is not required to be filed with ATC.)
7. Demonstrates adequate knowledge of GPS and RAIM
capability, when aircraft is so equipped.
8. Demonstrates the ability to recognize wing contamination
due to airframe icing.
9. Demonstrates adequate knowledge of the adverse effects
of airframe icing during pretakeoff, takeoff, cruise, and
landing phases of flight and corrective actions.
10. Demonstrates familiarity with any icing procedures and/or
information published by the manufacturer that is specific
to the aircraft used on the practical test.
実際の気象情報を元にFlight Planを作る段階です。 この中には飛行が飛行機の性能が十分かの判断と、予想飛行時間と燃料消費量の計算、そして合法に飛行が可能かの判断が含まれます。 そして、飛行に必要な各種のチャートを選び、正しく理解し、使用する必要があります。（質問されても回答出来るように） そして、その飛行に必要なNOTAMを得る必要もあります。 実際にIFR Flight PlanをATCにファイルするかは試験官の判断ですが、ファイルする方法も知っている必要が有ります。
GPS搭載機ではGPSとRAIMの事についても試験内容です。
また、飛行機にIcing等が発生していないかと確認する知識が求められ、Airframe Icingの影響や、Icingに対する対処法も試験内容です。
