Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards (PTS for IFR)
VII. AREA OF OPERATION: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
A. TASK: LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS
REFERENCES: 14 CFR parts 61, 91; AIM.
Objective.To determine that the applicant exhibits adequate
knowledge of the elements related to applicable loss of
communication procedures to include:
1. Recognizing loss of communication.
2. Continuing to destination according to the flight plan.
3. When to deviate from the flight plan.
4. Timing for beginning an approach at destination.
ここでは無線機の故障時の対処方法について聞いています。 無線機の故障はどうやって分かるか？ その時の対処方法として、電源、スケルチ、予備アンテナ、最後に交信が出来た管制官との連絡、周波数の再確認など本当の故障かと確認する事から始まります。 そしてFlight Planやクリアランス通りに飛行したり、必要に応じて飛行コースを変更します。 そしてDestinationではアプローチの方法と行うタイミングが試験されます。
飛行中に"What if ...."と言う形で聞かれる可能性も有りますし、Oralの一部で聞かれる時も有るでしょう。
B. TASK: ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE DURING STRAIGHTAND-
LEVEL FLIGHT AND TURNS (MULTIENGINE
AIRPLANE)
REFERENCES: 14 CFR part 61; FAA-H-8083-3, FAA-H-8083-15.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the procedures used if
engine failure occurs during straight-and-level flight and
turns while on instruments.
2. Recognizes engine failure simulated by the examiner during straight-and-level flight and turns.
3. Sets all engine controls, reduces drag, and identifies and
verifies the inoperative engine.
4. Establishes the best engine-inoperative airspeed and trims
the aircraft.
5. Verifies the accomplishment of prescribed checklist
procedures for securing the inoperative engine.
6. Establishes and maintains the recommended flight attitude, as necessary, for best performance during straight-and-level
and turning flight.
7. Attempts to determine the reason for the engine failure.
8. Monitors all engine control functions and makes necessary
adjustments.
9. Maintains the specified altitude within ±100 feet, (if within
the aircraft’s capability), airspeed within ±10 knots, and the
specified heading within ±10°.
10. Assesses the aircraft’s performance capability and decides
an appropriate action to ensure a safe landing.
11. Avoids loss of aircraft control, or attempted flight contrary
to the engine-inoperative operating limitations of the aircraft.
12. Demonstrates an appropriate level of single-pilot resource
management skills.
このタスクでは、双発機で一つのエンジンが計器飛行状態（IMCかSimulated)で故障した際の対処方法を試験されます。 主な内容は、シングルエンジン・オペレーションが片肺でも行えるか？です。
100フィート、10ノット、10度のエラーが制限ですが、計器飛行でも適切に問題解消が行えるかが確認されます。
C. TASK: ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE-INSTRUMENT
APPROACH (MULTIENGINE AIRPLANE)
REFERENCES: 14 CFR part 61; FAA-H-8083-3, FAA-H-8083-15; IAP.
Objective.To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements by explaining
the procedures used during an instrument approach in a
multiengine aircraft with one engine inoperative.
2. Recognizes promptly engine failure simulated by the
examiner.
3. Sets all engine controls, reduces drag, and identifies and
verifies the inoperative engine.
4. Establishes the best engine-inoperative airspeed and trims the
aircraft.
5. Verifies the accomplishment of prescribed checklist procedures
for securing the inoperative engine.
6. Establishes and maintains the recommended flight attitude
and configuration for the best performance for all maneuvering
necessary for the instrument approach procedures.
7. Attempts to determine the reason for the engine failure.
8. Monitors all engine control functions and makes necessary
adjustments.
9. Requests and receives an actual or a simulated ATC
clearance for an instrument approach.
10. Follows the actual or a simulated ATC clearance for an
instrument approach.
11. Establishes a rate of descent that will ensure arrival at the
MDA/DH prior to reaching the MAP with the aircraft
continuously in a position from which descent to a landing on
the intended runway can be made straight in or circling.
12. Maintains, where applicable, the specified altitude within ±100
feet, the airspeed within ±10 knots if within the aircraft’s
capability, and the heading within ±10°.
13. Sets the navigation and communication equipment used
during the approach and uses the proper communications
technique.
14. Avoids loss of aircraft control, or attempted flight contrary to
the engine-inoperative operating limitations of the aircraft.
15. Uses MFD and other graphical navigation displays, if installed, to monitor position and track to help navigate the approach.
16. Complies with the published criteria for the aircraft approach
category when circling.
17. Allows, while on final approach segment, no more than
3/4-scale deflection of either the localizer or glideslope or GPS
indications, or within ±10° or 3/4-scale deflection of the
nonprecision final approach course.
18. Completes a safe landing.
19. Demonstrates an appropriate level of single-pilot resource
management skills.
シングルエンジンでもアプローチが適切に行えるか？が試されます。飛行だけでなく、対処方法などもです。
D. TASK: APPROACH WITH LOSS OF PRIMARY FLIGHT
INSTRUMENT INDICATORS
REFERENCES: 14 CFR part 61; FAA-H-8083-15; IAP.
NOTE: This approach shall count as one of the required nonprecision
approaches.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits adequate knowledge of the elements relating to
recognizing if primary flight instruments are inaccurate or inoperative, and advise ATC or the examiner.
2. Advises ATC or examiner anytime that the aircraft is
unable to comply with a clearance.
3. Demonstrates a nonprecision instrument approach without
the use of the primary flight instrument using the objectives
of the nonprecision approach TASK (AREA OF
OPERATION VI, TASK A).
4. Demonstrates an appropriate level of single-pilot resource
management skills.
Gyro Instrumentsなど主要な計器が故障した際でもアプローチが可能かとテストされます。 Partial Panelでのアプローチです。 もちろん、確認作業を忘れずに。 ここでは書けませんが、安全飛行に関しての手順(Single-Pilot Resource Management, SRM）も試されます。 このアプローチはNon-Precsion Approachで行います。
