Another Sport Pilot Switch Flicks On

Just Published: Sport Pilot Airman Knowledge Test Questions

By ANN Correspondent John Ballantyne

The Federal Aviation Administration has posted the sport pilot airman knowledge test questions today on the AFS-630 web site under Airman Knowledge Tests. The first of several listings is the sport pilot knowledge test questions. Following that are the private pilot questions added to the bank for weight-shift control (trike) and powered parachute, even though it is listed as "Sport Pilot."

The third section is for the Sport Pilot instructors and Designated Pilot Examiners. "I hope this helps the industry in developing the training materials to support the sport pilot program," said Martin Weaver, Manager, FAA AFS-610.

The FAA estimates the actual testing for all sport pilots, private weight-shift control and powered parachute, and sport pilot flight instructor and designated pilot examiners will begin on December 1. Pilot examiner knowledge test authorizations will be issued by AFS-610 only, meaning that the examiners will be allowed to administer tests to applicants anywhere in the United States, rather than being geographically limited to one FAA FSDO area.

The agency also expects to have practical test standards published by December 1. The new Sport Pilot Examiner Handbook (FAA Order 8710.7) was signed by AFS-1 on October 18 and is still in the process of being brought into compliance with new federal guidelines for handicapped access. "FAA anticipates this to be completed within the next couple of weeks. When this is finished it will be posted on the AFS-610 web site," concluded Weaver.
