Aircraft Requirements
Prior to commencing the Oral portion of the Practical Test, the applicant will be required to demonstrate to the Designated Pilot Examiner, through appropriate documentation, the registration status and airworthiness of the aircraft being provided. The applicant may wish to fill out, and provide to the Examiner, this generic Maintenance Compliance Checklist prior to the scheduled practical test. Since the Examiner may have little or no personal experience with the particular aircraft provided by the applicant, it may also be useful for the applicant to fill out, and provide to the Examiner, this generic Aircraft Specifications Checklist prior to the scheduled practical test.
It is the responsibility of applicants to demonstrate to the examiner compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives or Safety Directives. 14 CFR 91.417(a) states that each owner or operator shall keep the following records:
§ 91.417(a)(2)(v) – The current status of applicable airworthiness directives (AD) and Safety Directives including, for each, the method of compliance, the AD or Safety Directive number and revision date. If the AD or Safety Directive involves recurring action, the time and date when the next action is required. A maintenance logbook entry stating "all Ads complied with" does not satisfy the requirement of an owner or operator to comply with 14 CFR §91.417(a)(2)(v). It is recommended that applicants verify (well in advance of a scheduled practical test) the availability of complete AD and Safety Directive documentation. The following are examples of acceptable AD/SD records:
Should the aircraft provided by the applicant for the flight test be found to be in a non-airworthy condition, or otherwise not in a condition for safe operation, the Examiner may, at his or her sole discretion, decline to provide examining services in that particular aircraft. Such a determination may result in a Discontinuance of the practical test, or a Letter of Disqualification, depending upon the nature of the non-airworthy or unsafe determination.
