officer or the operations officer of the U.S. military organization having jurisdiction over that aircraft. The letter must state that the applicant is authorized to use the aircraft for a practical test from the FAA and that all maneuvers required for the test are authorized to be conducted in the aircraft.
(2) Without the official, original letter accompanying the application, an examiner must not conduct any part of a practical test involving a U.S. military aircraft/simulator.
(3) A clear understanding of responsibility between the examiner and the U.S. military organization must be maintained so that no question of accident or injury claim liability exists.
B. Military Aircraft with No Civil Counterparts. An area of concern is the administration of an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certification practical test in a large U.S. military aircraft for which there is no civil counterpart (for example, F-4, A-10, T-38, and UH-60). Tests may be given in such aircraft even though an aircraft type rating is not concurrently issued. The aircraft must be able to perform all flight maneuvers and all equipment must be functional before flight. Additionally, the aircraft must be properly equipped to accommodate an examiner. If an examiner receives a request for a practical test in a U.S. military aircraft for which there is no civil counterpart, the examiner must coordinate with the supervising FSDO to ensure that all aircraft requirements are met and that the correct limitations for the certificate are determined. There are provisions for practical tests in vintage/surplus U.S. military aircraft under the NDPE/FEER Program.
C. Experimental Aircraft. An applicant may request a practical test in an experimental aircraft. The aircraft may be certificated as amateur-built or for exhibition purposes. An examiner may conduct a practical test in such experimental aircraft provided that all the following conditions are met:
(1) The examiner is willing to conduct the test.
(2) The applicant is not prohibited from accomplishing the required tasks by the operating limitations issued for the experimental aircraft.
(3) If the experimental aircraft is not capable of performing all required tasks, another aircraft of the same category, class, and type, as appropriate, must be provided for those tasks that cannot be accomplished in the experimental aircraft.
D. Self-Launching Gliders. Aircraft that have been certificated as gliders with self-launching capability cannot be used for a practical test for an airplane category. There are no dual airplane/glider category designations. The examiner can determine the category of an aircraft by examining the aircraft airworthiness certificate or type certificate data sheet (TCDS).
E. Aircraft Limitations. A limitation will be placed on an applicant’s pilot certificate if the applicant provides an aircraft that has operating characteristics that preclude it from performing all the tasks required during the practical test (per 14 CFR § 61.45(b)(2)). However, this situation and the kind of aircraft to be used must be specifically identified and approved by the FAA, General Aviation and Commercial Division, AFS-800, at 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591 (phone: (202) 267-8212) on a case-by-case basis.
(1) For the record, AFS-800 generally disapproves the use of such aircraft, but it may grant approval on a case-by-case basis.
(2) For example, in the past, AFS-800 has approved the Ercoupe 415 series airplanes for use in a practical test. Persons seeking to use an Ercoupe 415 series airplane for a practical test would receive the limitation LIMITED TO ERCOUPE 415 SERIES WITHOUT RUDDER PEDALS.
F. Public Aircraft. IAW Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.) § 40102(a)(41), public aircraft are aircraft owned and operated by a state government, the District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the United States or a political subdivision of one of those governments, except as provided in 49 U.S.C. § 40125(b). Title 49 U.S.C. § 40125(b) provides, in pertinent part, that an aircraft described in 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a)(41)(A), (B), (C), or (D) does not qualify as a public aircraft under such section when the aircraft is used for commercial purposes or to carry an individual other than a crewmember or a qualified non-crewmember.
(1) Public aircraft that do not hold an FAA airworthiness certificate are not authorized for use in a practical test. A pilot may not use a public aircraft that does not hold an FAA airworthiness certificate for a practical test or for maintaining recency of experience under part 61.
5-5
8710.3E 4/21/06
(2) IAW Public Law (PL) 106-424, Sec. 14, Crediting of Law Enforcement Flight Time, if a pilot for a federal, state, county, or municipality law enforcement agency is engaged in a law enforcement flight activity in a public aircraft, the pilot may log that flight time for the purposes of 14 CFR § 61.51(a)(1) and (2). However, IAW PL 103-411 and 49 U.S.C. § 40102, a public aircraft is not authorized to be used for the purposes of receiving pilot training for the furtherance of a certificate, rating, or recency of experience or for conducting a practical test for an airman certificate or rating.
8. AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT. Except as provided by 14 CFR § 61.45(b)(2), an aircraft furnished for a practical test by an applicant must have the equipment required to accomplish each area of operation on the practical test. The applicant may need to use two or more aircraft to accomplish all of the practical test requirements (for simulated instrument flight, see the additional requirements of 14 CFR § 61.45(e)(2)).
A. Adequate Visibility. The aircraft must have pilot seats with adequate visibility for safe operation and, when the examiner conducts the test from a jumpseat, have cockpit and outside visibility adequate for the examiner to evaluate the applicant's performance.
B. View Limiting Device. During the practical test for an instrument rating or other certificates/ratings requiring a demonstration of instrument proficiency, the applicant must provide equipment, satisfactory to the examiner, which prevents flight by visual reference.
C. Required Controls. An aircraft (other than lighter-than-air) must have engine power and flight controls that are easily reached and operable in a conventional manner by both pilots, as provided by 14 CFR § 61.45(c), unless the examiner determines that the practical test can be conducted safely without them.
D. Aircraft with Single Controls. At the discretion of the examiner, an aircraft furnished by the applicant may have a single set of controls. Tests for the addition of aircraft category, class, or aircraft type ratings to private and commercial pilot certificates may be conducted in single-control aircraft under the provisions of 14 CFR § 61.45(e).
E. Aircraft with Stability Control Augmentation Systems. Some aircraft are equipped with stability and augmentation systems which are designed to operate at all times when the aircraft is in flight. Aircraft equipped with such devices may be used on practical tests if they are operated IAW the manufacturer's recommendations and the appropriate operating limitations.
9. FLIGHT SIMULATORS, FLIGHT TRAINING DEVICES, AND PERSONAL COMPUTER BASED AVIATION TRAINING DEVICES.
A. All flight simulators and flight training devices used for training or testing during a practical test must be qualified and approved IAW 14 CFR § 61.4(a).
B. A Qualification and Approval of Personal Computer-Based Aviation Training Devices (PCATD) is not authorized to be used for a practical test. A PCATD is only authorized for use for training and IAW AC 61-126, Qualification and Approval of Personal Computer-Based Aviation Training Devices.
10. ENGINE SHUTDOWN ON MULTIENGINE AIRPLANES DURING THE PRACTICAL TEST.
A. Preflight Discussion Item. An examiner who conducts a practical test in a multiengine airplane must discuss methods of simulating engine failure with the applicant during the required preflight briefing. The examiner and the applicant must discuss and follow the aircraft manufacturer's recommended procedures.
B. Feathering Propellers. An appropriately equipped airplane must be provided by the applicant.
(1) The feathering of one propeller must be demonstrated in flight in multiengine airplanes equipped with propellers which can be feathered and unfeathered. However, as is the case for all practical tests, the PTS requires that the applicant bring an aircraft that is “capable of performing all appropriate tasks for the certificate or rating and have no operating limitations that prohibit the performance of those tasks.”
(2) If due to environmental considerations the feathering demonstration cannot be safely performed, a letter of discontinuance must be issued.
(3) A propeller that cannot be unfeathered during the practical test must be treated as an emergency.
(4) Feathering and engine shutdown must be performed at altitudes, in areas, and from positions where
