- Summary:
- This study used two separate survey instruments to assess practical test examination practices nationally by soliciting feedback from Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) and newly certificated general aviation (GA) pilots. The first instrument surveyed DPEs; the second instrument surveyed newly certificated GA pilots about their training and practical testing experiences. The majority of pilots were positive about the quality of flight instruction they received, with more than 80% giving high marks. When commenting upon their practical test experience, more than 95% reported that they were tested on stalls (power-on and power-off), spin awareness (82%), aeronautical decision-making (85%), and in-flight collision avoidance (82%).
