It adds task-specific knowledge and risk management elements to each PTS “Area of Operation” and “Task.”<br><BR>The result is a presentation that integrates the standards for passing both the FAA Knowledge Exams and the FAA Oral and Practical Exams in a way that coordinates the study and learning for both, making them relevant to each other.<BR><BR>This Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Instrument Rating – Airplane ACS provides the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for instrument rating certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea, as well as multi-engine land and sea classes (ASEL, ASES, AMEL, AMES).
