Conduct of the skill test

An applicant shall pass all applicable sections. If any item in a section is failed, that section is failed. Failure in more than one section will
require the applicant to take the entire test again. An applicant failing only one section shall take the failed section again. Failure in any
section of the re-test, including those sections that have been passed on a previous attempt, will require the applicant to take the entire test
again. All sections of the skill test shall be completed within six months.

Further training may be required following any one failed skill test. Failure to achieve a pass in all sections of the test in two attempts will
require further training as determined by the Authority. There is no limit to the number of skill tests that may be attempted.

The Authority will provide the FE with adequate safety advice to ensure that the test is conducted safely.

Should the applicant choose to terminate a skill test for reasons considered inadequate by the FE, the applicant shall retake the entire skill
test. If the test is terminated for reasons considered adequate by the FE, only those sections not completed shall be tested in a further flight.

Any manoeuvre or procedure of the test may be repeated once by the applicant. The FE may stop the test at any stage if it is considered that
the applicant's demonstration of flying skills requires a complete re-test.

An applicant shall be required to fly the aeroplane from a position where the pilot-in command functions can be performed and carry out the
test as if there is no other crew member. Responsibility for the flight shall be allocated in accordance with national regulations.

The route to be flown for the navigation test shall be chosen by the FE. The route may end at the aerodrome of departure or at another
aerodrome. The applicant shall be responsible for the flight planning and shall ensure that all equipment and documentation for the
execution of the flight are on board.

An applicant shall indicate to the FE the checks and duties carried out, including the identification of radio facilities. Checks shall be
completed in accordance with the authorised check list for the aeroplane which the test is being taken. During pre-flight preparation for the
test the applicant is required to determine power settings and speeds. Performance data for take-off, approach and landing shall be
calculated by the applicant in compliance with the operations manual or flight manual for the aeroplane used.

The FE will take no part in the operation of the aeroplane except where intervention is necessary in the interests of safety or to avoid
unacceptable delay to other traffic.
