 \nPresented to: ATEC – Washington Fly-in  \nBy: Susan Parson, FAA  \nDate: September 5, 2017  \nFederal Aviation Administration  \nOverview – ACS Project  \n• Why, What, Who?  \n• What’s new in 2017?  \n– Private Pilot Airplane – revised  \n– Instrument Airplane rating – revised  \n– Commercial Pilot Airplane – new  \n• How do I use the ACS?  \n• What’s next?  \n– Instructor, ATP  \n– Aircraft Mechanic  \n– Other….?  \n• Resources  \nFederal Aviation 2  \nAdministration  \nHouston, we have a problem…  \n2011 Explosion  \nIll-advised changes to Fundamentals of Instructing knowledge exam led to skyrocketing failure rate.  \nAviation training community demanded action to address fundamental flaws in FAA certification testing, which  \ndrives the way industry conducts aviation training  \nFederal Aviation 3  \nAdministration  \nWhy Change?  \nLongstanding systemic flaws  \nFor each airman certificate or rating, 14 CFR lists required areas of aeronautical knowledge and flight proficiency.  \n• FAA developed the PTS to provide practical test performance metrics for flight proficiency in each Area of Operation and Task.  \n• Each PTS includes a lengthy list of largely undefined “special emphasis” areas.  \nThere has never been a corresponding set of defined “KTS”(knowledge test standards) metrics for the aeronautical knowledge elements tested via “the written” exam.  \nFederal Aviation 4  \nAdministration  \nWhy Change?  \nLongstanding systemic flaws  \nLack of “KTS” allowed the accumulation of too many FAA knowledge test questions that were:  \n• Out-of-date (e.g. , lots of wood, dope and fabric, not much composites)  \n• Irrelevant (e.g. , two types of human failure)  \n• Disconnected from “real” skills and knowledge required for safe maintenance of today’s equipment.  \nAlso, PTS did not evolve in a systematic way – results include redundant and conflicting tasks.  \nFederal Aviation 4  \nAdministration  \nWhy change?  \n• ACS started as a way to fix knowledge testing.  \n• FAA and industry partners determined the need for a systematic approach that would:  \n• Provide clear standards for aeronautical knowledge  \n• List specific behaviors for risk management and ADM  \n• Consolidate overlapping tasks in the PTS  \n• Tie the many “special emphasis” items to knowledge and skill  \n• Connect the standards for knowledge, risk management, and skill to guidance (H-series handbooks), to knowledge test questions, and the practical test  \nFederal Aviation 5  \nAdministration  \nWhat is the ACS?  \nDefinition & integration of elements = comprehensive standard  \nAeronautical knowledge  \nAeronautical  \ndecision-making  \nPTS-based proficiency  \nKnow  \nConsider  \nDo  \nFederal Aviation 6  \nAdministration  \nWhat is the ACS?  \nACS coding system  \nThe ACS assigns a unique code to each element of knowledge, risk management, & skill  \nAM = Aviation Mechanic (applicable ACS)  \nII = Airframe Structures ( Section )  \nA = Metallic Structures (Subject)  \nK1 = Inspection/testing of sheet metal structures (Subject Element Knowledge)  \nFederal Aviation 7  \nAdministration  \nRecap-What is the ACS?  \nACS is single-source set of standards for knowledge exam & oral and practical test.  \nACS integrates and connects certification standards for:  \nKnowledge Risk Management  \nSkill  \nWhich statement is correct when made in reference to a parallel circuit?  \nA)The current is equal in all portions of the circuit.  \nB)The total current is equal to the sum of the currents through the individual branches of the circuit.  \nC)The current in amperes can be found by dividing the EMF in volts by the sum of the resistors in ohms.  \nStandards Guidance Test questions  \nACS coding connects standards to guidance and test questions.  \nFederal Aviation 8  \nAdministration","cbCail2NI8ceNw6W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail2NI8ceNw6W","pdf",2465484,17,"English","# Overview – ACS Project\n## Why Change?\n## What is the ACS?\n# Recap-What is the ACS?","[{\"question\":\"How does the ACS coding system work?\",\"answer\":\"Each ACS knowledge, risk management, and skill element is assigned a unique code, illustrated with examples such as AM for Aviation Mechanic and K1 for inspection/testing of sheet metal structures.\"}]","Airman Certification Standards - What’s New and What’s Next - Presented by Susan Parson, FAA | PDF",1790312370,43]
