Study to Determine the Operational Profile and Mission of the Certificated Instrument Rated Private and Commercial Pilot

Abstract

The results of a survey to produce information on the operational profile and mission of the instrument rated private and commercial pilot are reported. Based upon an analysis of the data produced by the survey, two operational flight profiles were developed: the most difficult and complex operation, and the medium operation. The profiles were then analyzed to determine those aeronautical skills and knowledge required to operate within each profile. The implications of the study are directed toward providing knowledge useful in designing an instrument rating certification program based upon a standard of operational competence. The data will also be useful in other research relating to the activities of the instrument rated private and commercial pilot.
