Flight Instructor Practical Test Standards For Rotorcraft FAA-S-8081-7B
The Flight Instructor – Rotorcraft (Helicopter and Gyroplane) Practical Test Standards (PTS) book has been published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish the standards for flight instructor certification practical tests for the rotorcraft category, helicopter and gyroplane classes. FAA inspectors and designated pilot examiners shall conduct practical tests in compliance with these standards.
Flight instructors and applicants should find these standards helpful during training and when preparing for the practical test. Too often pilots are not familiar with evaluation requirements of the Flight Instructor Rotorcraft PTS and this often can lead to a failure of the practical test. It is not a mystery what the FAA Examiner will evaluate during the practical test. It is all explained in the FAA Flight Instructor Rotorcraft Practical Test Standards. Elite Aviation Solutions has reprinted the official FAA Flight Instructor Rotorcraft PTS for easy study by pilots.
Taking time to review this book will not only help a pilot pass the practical test but will help the pilot understand the training requirements necessary to be ready for the checkride.
