Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards (PTS for IFR)
IV. AREA OF OPERATION: FLIGHT BY REFERENCE TO
INSTRUMENTS
A. TASK: BASIC INSTRUMENT FLIGHT MANEUVERS (IA, IH,
PL, AA, HA, PLA, PC)
REFERENCES: 14 CFR part 61; FAA-H-8083-15.
Objective. To determine the applicant can perform basic flight
maneuvers.
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements related to
attitude instrument flying during straight-and-level flight,
climbs, turns, and descents while conducting various
instrument flight procedures.
2. Maintains altitude within ±100 feet during level flight,
headings within ±10°, airspeed within ±10 knots, and bank
angles within ±5° during turns.
3. Uses proper instrument crosscheck and interpretation, and
apply the appropriate pitch, bank, power, and trim
corrections when applicable.
４-Basicが計器飛行状態でも行えるか？と言う項目。
B. TASK: RECOVERY FROM UNUSUAL FLIGHT ATTITUDES
REFERENCES: 14 CFR part 61; FAA-H-8083-15.
NOTE: Any intervention by the examiner to prevent the aircraft from
exceeding any operating limitations, or entering an unsafe flight
condition, shall be disqualifying.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements relating to
attitude instrument flying during recovery from unusual
flight attitudes (both nose-high and nose-low).
2. Uses proper instrument cross-check and interpretation,
and applies the appropriate pitch, bank, and power
corrections in the correct sequence to return the aircraft to
a stabilized level flight attitude.
Unusual からのリカバリー。 クロスチェックやリカバリーで正しく水平飛行に戻れるかと？
試験官に危険な状態からリカバリーをさせると、その時点で失格になります。（どの状態とは書いていないので、通常の飛行中に、異常な飛行姿勢をさせれば終わりです。）
