Commercial Pilot Practical Test
Standards Rotorcraft
Use of the Practical Test Standards
The Commercial Pilot Rotorcraft Practical Test Standards have been designed to evaluate competency in both knowledge and skill. Commercial pilots are professionals engaged in various flight activities for compensation or hire. Because of their professional status, they should exhibit a significantly higher level of knowledge and skill than the private pilot.
The GACAR part 61 requires that all practical tests be conducted in accordance with the appropriate Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards and the policies set forth in this Introduction. Commercial pilot applicants must be evaluated in all Tasks included in the Areas of Operation of the appropriate practical test standard unless otherwisenoted.
Special Emphasis Areas
1. Positive aircraft control
2. Procedures for positive exchange of flight controls (who is flying the aircraft)
3. Collision avoidance
4. Wake turbulence avoidance
5. Runway incursion avoidance
6. CFIT
7. Wire strike avoidance
8. ADM and risk management
9. Checklist usage
10. Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs)
11. Special Use Airspace (SUA)
12. Aviation security
13. CRM
14. Other areas deemed appropriate to any phase of the practical test.
Aeronautical Decision Making and Risk Management.
Throughout the practical test, the examiner evaluates the applicant's ability to use good aeronautical decision-making procedures in order to identify risks.
E Book Volume 9 PRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS (PTS).
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) -S-8081-16B publishes airmen certification Practical Test Standards (PTS). The GACA has decided to utilize these standards when conducting airmen certification. The GACARs specify the areas in which knowledge and skill must be demonstrated by an applicant before a certificate can be issued. The PTS contain the specific tasks in which knowledge and competency must be demonstrated. When necessary, the GACA shall add, delete, or revise these tasks to enhance flight safety.

Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating
Practical Test Standards for Rotorcraft
General Information
The General Authority of Civil Aviation of Saudi Arabia has developed this practical test standard (PTS) book to be used by examiners when conducting airline transport pilot and aircraft type rating practical tests (knowledge of the equipment and flight tasks) in Rotorcrafts. Instructors are expected to use this book when preparing applicants for practical tests. Applicants should refer to these standards during their training.
Practical Test Standard Concept
The GACR part 61 specifies the areas in which knowledge and skills must be demonstrated by the applicant before the issuance of an airline transport pilot certificate and aircraft type rating in Rotorcrafts.
Use of the Practical Test Standards
The TASKS, in this practical test standard, are for Rotorcrafts. These TASKS apply to the applicant who seeks an airline transport pilot certificate; the addition of a category, class, or aircraft type rating on that certificate; and to the applicant who holds a private or commercial pilot certificate (must have proper category/class rating) and is seeking the addition of an aircraft type rating on that certificate.
Practical Test Prerequisites: Aircraft Type Rating
An applicant for a type rating in a Rotorcraft is required by GACA part 61 to have:
1. the applicable experience;
2. a minimum of a third-class medical certificate if a medical certificate is required;
3. the appropriate category and class rating;
4. received and logged ground training from an authorized ground or flight instructor and flight training from an authorized flight instructor, on the AREAS OF OPERATION in this practical test standard that apply to the aircraft type rating sought; and
5. received a logbook endorsement from the instructor who conducted the training, certifying that the applicant completed all the training on the AREAS OF OPERATION in this practical test standard that apply to the aircraft type rating sought.

E Book Volume 9 PRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS (PTS)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) S-8081-20 publishes Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards (PTS). The GACA has decided to utilize these standards when conducting airmen certification.

The PTS contain the specific tasks in which knowledge and competency must be demonstrated. When necessary, the GACA shall add, delete, or revise these tasks to enhance flight safety.
Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test Standards - Rotorcraft
The AREAS OF OPERATION are divided into two sections. The first AREA OF OPERATION in each section is conducted on the ground to determine the applicant's knowledge of the aircraft, equipment, performance, and limitations. The eight AREAS OF OPERATION in the second section are considered to be in flight. All eight AREAS OF OPERATION in the second section test the applicant's skill and knowledge.
