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.

That was NOT your question to me. I stated, "Every newly minted VFR pilot
should be able to identify the fixes in the plan view of an IAP. Your
question in response was, "Oh? 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.

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?
