![]() "Neil Gould" wrote in message et... 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. Neil |

When was this added to the Private Knowledge Test or Practical?" The fact that you don't know what you asked is a clear indication that it is you that is confused. |

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. Neil |

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? |
