Mustang Type Rating Typical Checkride

Page history last edited by David Wihl 2 mos ago

Here is a typical scenario of a Mustang Type Rating Checkride for either PIC Crew or PIC-S Single Pilot.

 

Each checkride requires two precision and two non-precision approaches. There are very airports in the simulator database that can be used for checkrides. KMEM (Memphis) is quite typical though JFK or KICT (Wichita) are common as well.

 

You must be familar with the FAA Special Emphasis areas such as positive transfer of control in a crew environment.

 

Sample Script, from KMEM:

 

  • Takeoff 18C
  • Airwork
    • Steep turns (either 180 or 360 degrees around - your choice)
    • 2-3 stalls of various configurations
    • 2 unusual attitudes (one up, one down, so you'll know which direction the second one is in)
      • Be ready for AHRS / PFD 1 fail during unusual attitude. Use backup instruments as sim instructor cannot fail those.
  • ILS / LOC 27 circle to land 18R
    • when you see Runway 27, turn 30 deg to the right, go over the FedEx bldg. Start your turn to final and leave MDA between runways 18L and 18C.
    • Announce "leaving MDA" and tell ATC
    • Watch airspeed- should Vref -0/+5
  • Takeoff 18R - rejected takeoff
    • Stay on runway, need not be on centerline. Display lateral control. Suggest you practice this 5-10 times in the sim prior as running into the grass would be a failure.
  • Takeoff 18R - engine failure at V1 with low visibility
    • maintain V2 and hand fly until level at MSA and stable otherwise the sim, especially the rudder, lurches. Requires a lot of rudder.
    • Will likely be be an air restart but check n1/n2 rotation.
  • Handflown 2 engine ILS 18 (either L, C, or R), with a missed approach and then engine fail during missed. Again, hand fly at Vapp until MSA.
  • ILS 18 single engine landing with autopilot
  • RNAV GPS 36C, hand flown, no autopilot.
    • Missed with one turn in the hold, all hand flown, possibly without Flight Director
  • Visual 18C without any vertical guidance (nor VASI/PAPI) and no flaps (flaps fail). You should practice this in the sim a few times as well. You will have autopilot so you can set a stable 600 fpm descent and then manage airspeed.
  • Upon rollout, engine fire with emergency evacuation. Follow all steps in the emergency evacuation memory item.

 

Some items to be careful of:

  • When landing, verify that you are below max landing weight (8000 lbs)
  • If you have deviations, such as altitude during a hand flown hold, or heading during a single engine go-around, be sure to correct quickly and mention that you are correcting.
