My question to you had to do with the basis for your assumption.
Specifically, what in the Practical or Knowledge Tests -- the ONLY
requirements for becoming "a newly minted VFR pilot" -- assures that your
assumption is valid. Since there is no requirement that a "...newly minted
VFR pilot..." has even SEEN an IAP, your assumption is not reasonable.


The basis for my assumption is that anyone that possesses the chart
knowledge specified in Part 61 can pick up a TPP, examine an IAP and the
legend if need be, and identify a FAF. Or do you take the position that
typical VFR pilots are not that intelligent?
