Multi-Engine Instrument Rating Flight Test Report?

Asked by: 1640 views Commercial Pilot, Instrument Rating

Hello CFIs,

I'm trying to apply to a foreign airline and it's asking me to upload variety of documents such as licenses and logbooks etc. One of the documents they ask for is

"Multi-Engine Instrument Rating Flight Test Report, indicating 2D and 3D approaches"

i dont know what other countries' administration does but FAA doesn't issue flight test reports on flight tests (as far as I know.. never been issued a score sheet on flight test up to CFI that i have)

have any of you CFIs or airliners encountered such occasion?

any advice would help thank you!

    Obviously, the fact that it is a different country’s system is what is causing the confusion. For the US, the terminology is a “practical test”, not a “flight test”. The US applicant only receives a temporary certificate, not a report per se in the end.

    However, to show that you are trying to satisfy their requirement, let me suggest this. Go to this website:

    https://www.faa.gov/forms/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/186615

    and order a complete copy of your airman records held by the FAA. When I did it, I was amazed how inexpensive it was. Then you can use the front and back side of the 8710-1 or IACRA document regarding any practical test you have taken. That is in effect, the examiner’s “report” to the FAA on your having passed the test to include aircraft used and the amount of time spent testing.

    If you took the test at a Part 141 or 142 school, they would have some records showing your phase checks and training records. That may be more than they want, but it may help bridge the country differences gap.

    thanks for reply.

    Does the copy of airman records include the score of each item done in the practical test?
    What information does it exactly have in the record?

    I didn’t attend 141 so that is not an option for me.

    Both EASA & UK CAA have an extensive report form for recurrent check-rides.

    Unlike the Flight Review every 24 months (covering all category, class & types on your certificate) for the FAA, EASA rules require an MEL check-ride every 12 months, an SEL every 24 months and also an Instrument check-ride every 12 months.

    The initial is termed a License Skill Test, and subsequent revalidations & renewals (yes, we have different names for whether you’re in date) are License Proficiency Checks.

    The completed Examiners Report is returned to the candidate after the check.

    For an Instrument Check, you will normally complete a 3D approach (ILS or LPV) and a 2D approach (LNAV only, VOR or NDB) with no vertical guidance. An Engine-Inoperative approach to minima, and Go-Around is also required for multi-engine checks. At least one approach has to be PBN. Circling is not normally part of the profile.

    You can download the IAA Form here:
    https://www.iaa.ie/docs/default-source/publications/forms/personnel-licensing-forms/pilots-and-cabin-crew-flight-tests/application-and-report-form-for-single-pilot-aeroplanes-except-for-high-performance-complex-aeroplanes.pdf?sfvrsn=f8a80df3_18

    I suggest that an IPC would be acceptable, with an expanded logbook entry adding 2D/3D/PBN in brackets after the approach type.

    If you want to keep you logbook ‘clean’, have your CFII annotate an EASA form explaining that it was an FAA IPC, that also followed any additional elements required.

    Good luck.

    And there is no ‘score’ on the report. All items are passed, some might be on a 2nd attempt.

    As awair wrote, there is no score on the practical test. In fact, for liability purposes, examiners avoid writing anything qualifying how well something was done. It is either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. I did have an old time examiner tell me that he made checks for satisfactory in his notes and an X if it was unsatisfactory. However, he would angle the check to indicate how well the maneuver was done, but far as anyone who might look at his notes would gather, they were just checks.

    There is a block on the form that the applicant completes to indicate if they have failed the test previously or not. Other than that it is just aircraft registration number, and time spent conducting the test.
