Preflight Briefing
 
I will assume the role of ATC by issuing a clearance.
 
You will handle communications of a routine nature. I may take the mike to negotiate with ATC for any special handling required for the flight.
 
At MDA or DH, I will either say nothing or call runway in sight. If I say nothing, a missed approach will be executed.
 
Engine Failure Procedures:
 
I will not cut a mixture below 3000' AGL except below 50% of VMC on the runway.
 
Unless I indicate otherwise, we will simulate feathering after a mixture cut.
 
I will not cut an engine with the fuel selector, or by any other means not seen by you. If an engine quits for no obvious reason, we will treat it as an actual engine failure.
 
Flight
Passenger briefing required for a part 135 flight.
 
Describe how you would give a preflight briefing to a blind person.
 
As a passenger on a charter flight, how much ammunition may I carry on board?
 
Low-visibility takeoff.
 
Engine failure during takeoff roll. Power restoration after appropriate action is performed.
 
Departure to airspace where maneuvers can be performed.
Clearing Turns, then perform steep turn in each direction.
 
Perform slow flight. Recover at the first indication of stall.
 
Unusual attitude recovery.
 
Explain or demonstrate procedure for manual extension of landing gear.
 
Issue clearance for non-precision low approach.
 
Heading Gyro fails after final approach course intercept. 
 
Perform approach and low approach.
 
Engine failure after starting the missed approach procedure. Power restored after establishing course toward missed approach holding fix. 
 
Clearance for second non-precision approach. 
 
Engine failure prior to executing missed approach during circling minimums.

Power restored prior to missed approach.
 
Issue clearance for ILS.

Perform ILS with use of Autopilot.

Missed approach, Issue clearance for second ILS.
 
Fail right engine during procedure.
 
Circle to land with engine inoperative. Applicant to determine which direction to circle.
 
Full stop landing.
