You do realize that NONE of the above pertains to IAPs, don't you?

What parts of "...pertinent to his certificate...", or "...visual
contact flying..." confuses you so badly?


It is you that is confused. Jose asked, "How many newly minted VFR
pilots even know how to read an approach plate?" I responded, "Every
newly minted VFR pilot should be able to identify the fixes in the
plan view of an IAP." If one has the knowledge of aeronautical charts
required by FAR 61.105 then one has the knowledge to examine the
legend and plan views of IAPs in a TPP and determine the locations of
FAFs.

My question to YOU was when the ability to understand IAPs was added to
the Private Knowledge or Practical tests? The fact is that it is NOT a
part of the requirements for a Private certificate. The direct route to
realizing that fact is to simply read the published requirements. They are
not secret documents. So, your references to irrelevant regs (twice, no
less) is clearly an indication that you are quite confused about the
requirements and expected abilities of private pilots.
