I would fail him under the following (as any examiner properly should)
V. AREA OF OPERATION: NAVIGATION SYSTEMS
A. TASK: INTERCEPTING AND TRACKING NAVIGATIONAL
SYSTEMS AND DME ARCS
9. Recognizes navigational receiver or facility failure, and
when required, reports the failure to ATC
Ok, so in my earlier example, the examiner simulates a failure by
changing the frequency. This is not discovered by the applicant, and
although the approach is completed successfully, the examiner fails the
applicant on task V.A.9 just like your example.
The applicant appeals, claiming that the examiner did not have the right
to "dictate what frequency the radio would be set to".
How does this materially differ from simulating GPS failure (could be
signal failure, antenna failure, etc) by insisting that the GPS be
turned to a non-useful page?
My suggestion to you is that you get together with an instructor and
review practical tests before you go for whatever your next rating
might be, so you know what to expect.
Good advice for anyone looking towards a rating, and it should be
covered by the instruction towards that rating. I am not working
towards a rating, so this applies to me only as a snipe.
By the way, an ILS approach ends at DA, not MDA.
Isn't it "DH" now? Or is that the old password? Sorry, I didn't eat my
alphabet soup before I posted.
