14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition) 

§ 61.68 

(v) Must be accomplished in an air-

craft of the same category and class, 
and type, as applicable, as the aircraft 
in which the practical test is to be con-
ducted or in a flight simulator that— 

(A) Represents an aircraft of the 

same category and class, and type, as 
applicable, as the aircraft for which the 
authorization is sought; and 

(B) Is used in accordance with an ap-

proved course conducted by a training 
center certificated under part 142 of 
this chapter. 

(4) The flight time acquired in meet-

ing the requirements of paragraph 
(c)(2)(ii)(B) of this section may be used 
to meet the requirements of paragraph 
(c)(2)(ii)(A) of this section. 

(d) 

Practical test procedures. 

The prac-

tical test consists of an oral increment 
and a flight increment. 

(1) 

Oral increment. 

In the oral incre-

ment of the practical test an applicant 
must demonstrate knowledge of the 
following: 

(i) Required landing distance; 
(ii) Determination and recognition of 

the alert height or decision height, as 
applicable, including use of a radar al-
timeter; 

(iii) Recognition of and proper reac-

tion to significant failures encountered 
prior to and after reaching the alert 
height or decision height, as applica-
ble; 

(iv) Missed approach procedures and 

techniques using computed or fixed at-
titude guidance displays and expected 
height loss as they relate to manual 
go-around or automatic go-around, and 
initiation altitude, as applicable; 

(v) Use and limitations of RVR, in-

cluding determination of controlling 
RVR and required transmissometers; 

(vi) Use, availability, or limitations 

of visual cues and the altitude at which 
they are normally discernible at re-
duced RVR readings including— 

(A) Unexpected deterioration of con-

ditions to less than minimum RVR 
during approach, flare, and rollout; 

(B) Demonstration of expected visual 

references with weather at minimum 
conditions; 

(C) The expected sequence of visual 

cues during an approach in which visi-
bility is at or above landing minima; 
and 

(D) Procedures and techniques for 

making a transition from instrument 
reference flight to visual flight during 
a final approach under reduced RVR. 

(vii) Effects of vertical and hori-

zontal windshear; 

(viii) Characteristics and limitations 

of the ILS and runway lighting system; 

(ix) Characteristics and limitations 

of the flight director system auto ap-
proach coupler (including split axis 
type if equipped), auto throttle system 
(if equipped), and other Category III 
equipment; 

(x) Assigned duties of the second in 

command during Category III oper-
ations, unless the aircraft for which 
authorization is sought does not re-
quire a second in command; 

(xi) Recognition of the limits of ac-

ceptable aircraft position and flight 
path tracking during approach, flare, 
and, if applicable, rollout; and 

(xii) Recognition of, and reaction to, 

airborne or ground system faults or ab-
normalities, particularly after passing 
alert height or decision height, as ap-
plicable. 

(2) 

Flight increment. 

The following re-

quirements apply to the flight incre-
ment of the practical test— 

(i) The flight increment may be con-

ducted in an aircraft of the same cat-
egory and class, and type, as applica-
ble, as the aircraft for which the au-
thorization is sought, or in a flight 
simulator that— 

(A) Represents an aircraft of the 

same category and class, and type, as 
applicable, as the aircraft in which the 
authorization is sought; and 

(B) Is used in accordance with an ap-

proved course conducted by a training 
center certificated under part 142 of 
this chapter. 

(ii) The flight increment must con-

sist of at least two ILS approaches to 
100 feet AGL, including one landing and 
one missed approach initiated from a 
very low altitude that may result in a 
touchdown during the go-around ma-
neuver; 

(iii) All approaches performed during 

the flight increment must be made 
with the approved automatic landing 
system or an equivalent landing sys-
tem approved by the Administrator; 

(iv) If a multiengine aircraft with the 

performance capability to execute a
