Just Published: Sport Pilot Airman Knowledge Test
Questions
By ANN Correspondent John Ballantyne
The Federal Aviation
Administration has posted the sport pilot airman knowledge
test questions today on the AFS-630 web site under Airman Knowledge
Tests. The first of several listings is the sport pilot knowledge
test questions. Following that are the private pilot questions
added to the bank for weight-shift control (trike) and powered
parachute, even though it is listed as "Sport Pilot."
The third section is for the Sport Pilot instructors and
Designated Pilot Examiners. "I hope this helps the industry in
developing the training materials to support the sport pilot
program," said Martin Weaver, Manager, FAA AFS-610.
The FAA estimates the actual testing for all sport pilots,
private weight-shift control and powered parachute, and sport pilot
flight instructor and designated pilot examiners will begin on
December 1. Pilot examiner knowledge test authorizations will be
issued by AFS-610 only, meaning that the examiners will be allowed
to administer tests to applicants anywhere in the United States,
rather than being geographically limited to one FAA FSDO area.
The agency also expects to have practical test standards
published by December 1. The new Sport Pilot Examiner Handbook (FAA
Order 8710.7) was signed by AFS-1 on October 18 and is still in the
process of being brought into compliance with new federal
guidelines for handicapped access. "FAA anticipates this to be
completed within the next couple of weeks. When this is finished it
will be posted on the AFS-610 web site," concluded Weaver.
