knowledge test with you will likely result in a
need to reschedule the practical test.
NO ENDORSEMENT FOR AREAS FOUND
DEFICIENT ON KNOWLEDGE TESTS
A CFI is required to " review the areas found
deficient on an airman's knowledge test " prior to
him or her being " qualified " for the practical test
a DPE will give. This is a commonly forgotten
endorsement.
Another common problem with this is that
signing the bottom of the knowledge test doesn't
meet the requirement. Some CFIs think it does,
but the endorsement printed on the bottom of
an airman knowledge test is there for a " retest "
if they didn't pass on the previous try, not as a
way to reconcile the areas that were wrong on a
passing effort.
AC 61.65(H) has the appropriate endorsement
in " Appendix A: Sample Endorsements " -it
is " endorsement A2 - Review of deficiencies
identified on airman knowledge test: § 61.39(a)(6)
(iii) as required. "
We all make mistakes, but some of them happen
more often than others. I bring these points
up for your reading pleasure to help you know
some of the most common ones that DPEs see
on practical tests that at a minimum result in
frustration and delay, and in some cases they
result in non-continuation of a practical test that
was scheduled. Attention to detail goes a long
way in ensuring that applicants are able to move
forward with the actual conduct of a practical
test as scheduled.
