Hi all,
My checkride is a long way off, but this evening I read the PTS for Gliders for the first time. I noticed this section: "Use of Distractions During Practical Tests Numerous studies indicate that many accidents have occurred when the pilot has been distracted during critical phases of flight. To evaluate the applicant’s ability to utilize proper control technique while dividing attention both inside and/or outside the cockpit, the examiner shall cause a realistic distraction during the flight portion of the practical test to evaluate the applicant’s ability to divide attention while maintaining safe flight." Obviously, the Examiner isn't going to do anything dangerous, but what sorts of distractions have people encountered? It is obvious when the distraction occurs....or is it something subtle? --Michael |
