Description

FAA-S-8081-17A supersedes FAA-S-8081-17, Private Pilot Practical Test Standards (PTS) for Lighter-Than-Air Balloon and Airship, dated June 1996.
is published by the FAA to establish the standards for private pilot certification practical tests for the lighter-than-air category, balloon and airship classes. FAA inspectors and designated evaluators shall conduct practical tests in compliance with these standards. Instructors and applicants should find these standards helpful in practical test preparation.
The FAA has developed the PTS for use by FAA inspectors and evaluators when conducting the practical test.
14 CFR part 61 specifies the subject areas in which knowledge and skill must be demonstrated by the applicant before the issuance of a certificate. The practical test standards contain the Areas of Operation and specific Tasks in which competency shall be demonstrated. The FAA will revise this PTS whenever it is determined that changes are needed in the interest of safety. Per 14 CFR part 61, section 61.43, adherence to the practical test standards is mandatory.
The Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Lighter-Than-Air Balloon and Airship include the Areas of Operation and Tasks for the issuance of an initial Private Pilot Certificate and for the addition of category and/or class ratings to that certificate.
