Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards (PTS for IFR)
III. AREA OF OPERATION: AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
CLEARANCES AND PROCEDURES
NOTE: The ATC clearance may be an actual or simulated ATC
clearance based upon the flight plan.
ATCクリアランスは、実際のATCからでも試験官の指示でも使用可能です。
A. TASK: AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CLEARANCES
REFERENCES:
14 CFR parts 61, 91; FAA-H-8083-15; AIM.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements related to
ATC clearances and pilot/controller responsibilities to
include tower en route control and clearance void times.
2. Copies correctly, in a timely manner, the ATC clearance as
issued.
3. Determines that it is possible to comply with ATC
clearance.
4. Interprets correctly the ATC clearance received and, when
necessary, requests clarification, verification, or change.
5. Reads back correctly, in a timely manner, the ATC clearance
in the sequence received.
6. Uses standard phraseology as contained in the Aeronautical
Information Manual when reading back clearances and
communicating with ATC.
7. Sets the appropriate communication and navigation systems
and transponder codes in compliance with the ATC
clearance.
8. Demonstrates an appropriate level of single-pilot resource
management skills.
ATC Clearanceに関して、操縦士と管制官の役割を理解しておくこと。TECとClearance Void Timeも理解しておく必要が有る。（TACはSOCAL以外では必要性が疑問ですが、私が決める事では無い）。 基本的に、ATCからにクリアランスを的確に聞き取り、それが適切な物かと判断して必要なら変更を求める。そして、AIMに書かれているように適切にRead Backする事。
B. TASK: COMPLIANCE WITH DEPARTURE, EN ROUTE, AND
ARRIVAL PROCEDURES AND CLEARANCES
REFERENCES
:14 CFR parts 61, 91; FAA-H-8083-15; DPs; En Route
Low Altitude Charts; STARs.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements related to
ATS routes, and related pilot/controller responsibilities.
2. Uses the current and appropriate navigation publications
for the proposed flight.
3. Selects and uses the appropriate communication facilities;
selects and identifies the navigation aids associated with
the proposed flight.
4. Performs the appropriate aircraft checklist items relative to
the phase of flight.
5. Establishes two-way communications with the proper
controlling agency, using proper phraseology.
6. Complies, in a timely manner, with all ATC instructions and
airspace restrictions.
7. Exhibits adequate knowledge of communication failure
procedures.
8. Intercepts, in a timely manner, all courses, radials, and
bearings appropriate to the procedure, route, or clearance.
9. Maintains the applicable airspeed within ±10 knots; headings
within ±10°; altitude within ±100 feet; and tracks a course,
radial, or bearing within 3/4-scale deflection of the CDI.
10. Demonstrates an appropriate level of single-pilot resource
management skills.
適切にATCクリアランスに従う事が出来るか？が試験されます。 (10Kts, 10度, 100 feet, 3/4 on CDI.)
C. TASK: HOLDING PROCEDURES
REFERENCES: 14 CFR parts 61, 91; FAA-H-8083-15; AIM.
NOTE: Any reference to DME will be disregarded if the aircraft is
not so equipped.
DMEが非搭載なら、DMEに関しては無視します。
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements related to
holding procedures..
2. Changes to the holding airspeed appropriate for the
altitude or aircraft when 3 minutes or less from, but prior to
arriving at, the holding fix.
3. Explains and uses an entry procedure that ensures the
aircraft remains within the holding pattern airspace for a
standard, nonstandard, published, or nonpublished holding
pattern.
4. Recognizes arrival at the holding fix and initiates prompt
entry into the holding pattern.
5. Complies with ATC reporting requirements.
6. Uses the proper timing criteria, where applicable, as
required by altitude or ATC instructions.
7. Complies with pattern leg lengths when a DME distance is
specified.
8. Uses proper wind correction procedures to maintain the
desired pattern and to arrive over the fix as close as
possible to a specified time.
9. Maintains the airspeed within ±10 knots; altitude within
±100 feet; headings within ±10°; and tracks a selected
course, radial or bearing within 3/4-scale deflection of
the CDI.
10. Uses MFD and other graphical navigation displays, if
installed to monitor position in relation to the desired
flightpath during holding.
11. Demonstrates an appropriate level of single-pilot resource
management skills.
Holdingが正しく出来るかを見られます。 管制官か試験官の指示に従って、Entry, Hold, 調節が必要で、そして予測時間にHoldingから離脱できるようにする必要が有ります。 もちろん、風に対する修正も必要です。
このエリアでは、 Single-pilot resource management skills SRMの技術も見られます。
（SRMにはSingle-Pilotと名前が付いていますが、それは余り気にしない方が理解はし易いですよ。）
