Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards (PTS for IFR)
II. AREA OF OPERATION: PREFLIGHT PROCEDURES
A. TASK: AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS RELATED TO IFR OPERATIONS
REFERENCES: 14 CFR parts 61, 91; FAA-H-8083-15; AC 61-84.
Objective. To determine that the applicant exhibits adequate
knowledge of the elements related to pplicable aircraft anti-icing/
deicing system(s) and their operating methods to include:
1. Airframe.
2. Propeller.
3. Intake.
4. Fuel.
5. Pitot-static.
Icingに対しての装置についてです。 通常のC-172クラスならPitot HeadがAnti-Icingになるかな。 抗-Icing装置では無いですが、Alternate Static SourceもCarb HeatもIcing対策ですね。Fuelに関しては、Drainをして、水分が入って居ない事を確認するべきかな。
B. TASK: AIRCRAFT FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AND NAVIGATION
EQUIPMENT
REFERENCES: 14 CFR parts 61, 91; AC 61-27, AC 61-84, AC 90-48.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements related to
applicable aircraft flight instrument system(s) and their
operating characteristics to include-
a. pitot-static.
b. altimeter.
c. airspeed indicator.
d. vertical speed indicator.
e. attitude indicator.
f. horizontal situation indicator.
g. magnetic compass.
h. turn-and-slip indicator/turn coordinator.
i. heading indicator.
j. electrical systems.
k. vacuum systems.
l. electronic flight instrument displays (PFD, MFD).
計器類に対して、適切な知識がある事を求められています。Pitot-StaticとGyroがメインですがMagnetic Compass等も知識が必要です。 新しい飛行機ならPFDやMFDについての知識も必要になります。(私は見た事も触った事も有りませんが、搭載機なら説明が求められるかも。）
2. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the applicable aircraft
navigation system(s) and their operating characteristics to
include-
a. VOR.
b. DME.
c. ILS.
d. marker beacon receiver/indicators.
e. transponder/altitude encoding.
f. ADF.
g. GPS.
h. FMS.
i. autopilot.
航法装置についての知識を求められています。Transponderが必要な所や、搭載されているならGPSの基礎知識、Autopilotの注意点などは確実に押さえるべきかも知れませんね。 もちろん、全ての事は知っている必要が有りますよ。
C. TASK: INSTRUMENT COCKPIT CHECK
REFERENCES: 14 CFR parts 61, 91; FAA-H-8083-15.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements related to
preflighting instruments, avionics, and navigation equipment
cockpit check by explaining the reasons for the check and
how to detect possible defects.
2. Performs the preflight on instruments, avionics, and
navigation equipment cockpit check by following the
checklist appropriate to the aircraft flown.
3. Determines that the aircraft is in condition for safe
instrument flight including-
a. communications equipment.
b. navigation equipment, as appropriate to the aircraft
flown.
c. magnetic compass.
d. heading indicator.
e. attitude indicator.
f. altimeter.
g. turn-and-slip indicator/turn coordinator.
h. vertical speed indicator.
i. airspeed indicator.
j. clock.
k. power source for gyro instruments.
l. pitot heat.
m. electronic flight instrument display
n. traffic awareness/warning/avoidance system.
o. terrain awareness/warning/alert system.
p. FMS.
q. autopilot.
4. Notes any discrepancies and determines whether the
aircraft is safe for instrument flight or requires maintenance.
エンジンを始動する前と直後の対応も含まれているでしょう。 また、各項目の点検方法や点検やテストの事、故障時の対応なども。
