Pilot Controller Glossary 2
This Glossary was compiled to promote acommonunderstanding of the terms used in the Air Traffic Controlsystem.It includes those terms which are intended forpilot/controllercommunications. The definitions are primarilydefined in anoperational sense applicable to both users andoperators of theNational Airspace System. Use of the Glossary willpreclude anymisunderstandings concerning the system’s design,function, andpurpose.

Airplane Pilot Test Standards 1
Commercial Pilot Practical Test StandardsforAirplane (SEL, MEL, SES, MES): The CommercialPilot—AirplanePractical Test Standards (PTS) book has beenpublished by theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establishthe standardsfor commercial pilot certification practical tests forthe airplanecategory, single-engine land and sea; and multiengineland and seaclasses. FAA inspectors and designated pilot examinersshallconduct practical tests in compliance with these standards.Flightinstructors and applicants should find these standardshelpfulduring training and when preparing for the practical test.CONTENTSINTRODUCTIONSECTION 1: COMMERCIAL PILOT AIRPLANE—SINGLE-ENGINELAND AND SINGLE-ENGINE SEACONTENTSADDITIONAL RATING TASK TABLE: AIRPLANESINGLE-ENGINE LANDADDITIONAL RATING TASK TABLE: AIRPLANESINGLE-ENGINE SEAAPPLICANT’S PRACTICAL TEST CHECKLISTEXAMINER’S PRACTICAL TEST CHECKLISTAREAS OF OPERATION:I.

Mentoring Flight Instruction 2
Best Practices for Mentoring in Flight Instruction:Mostpilotcertificates are issued with advice that the hard-wondocumentisonly a “license to learn.” Newly certificated pilotsarethendispatched into the real world to learn throughtheirownexperience. While there is ultimately no substituteforexperience,too many pilots come to grief because the lessonsofexperience areharsh and sometimes fatal.The tests of experience – given, as the saying goes,beforeratherthan after the lesson – are especially challenging fortwospecificpilot groups. The first is new instrument pilots.Withinstrumentrating in hand, the newly certificated instrumentpilotcan legallyfly alone in conditions that would challenge themostseasonedprofessionals – perhaps without having evenexperiencedflight ininstrument meteorological conditions(IMC).There are also special challenges for the newlycertificated,butinexperienced, flight instructor (CFI). The CFIperforms one ofthemost vital and influential roles in aviation and,just asinmedicine, the work can have life and death consequences.Butwhilethe medical profession uses internship and residencyprogramstoprovide supervised real world training for newlygraduatedMDs,newly certificated flight instructors – like newinstrumentpilots– are mostly left to learn on their own.Many professions besides medicine use forms of mentoringtohelpnewly-trained novices transition from real-worldapplicationof“book” knowledge and basic skills. Teachercertificationboardsrequire a stint of student teaching that pairsthe novicewith anexperienced classroom instructor for bothobservationandsupervised application of knowledge and skills.Mentoringinaviation generally takes place in the airlineenvironment,whichpairs experienced pilots with junior crewmembers.Unfortunately, general aviation (GA) instrument pilotsandflightinstructors do not typically have regularorstructuredopportunities to fly with more experiencedaviators.Because suchopportunities could provide a major safetybenefit tothe GAcommunity, this guide provides ideas andsuggestedmentoringpractices that instructors and flight schools canuse tohelpbridge the gap between training and experience.ABOUT the AUTHOR: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)isanagency of the United States Department ofTransportationwithauthority to regulate and oversee all aspects ofcivil aviationinthe U.S. (National Airworthiness Authority).
