Plan to depart two hours after the start time of your test. Gather all the information you will need to discuss the trip.  \nTest Fee: Please call for current information.  \nScheduling and Weather Policy: Please refer to the Schedule Policy and Procedures  page for details.  \nRequired Endorsements:  \nPlease refer to the current version of Advisory Circular 61-65. You will need the endorsements listed below to take your Instrument Airplane Practical Test. Have your instructor review your logbook to ensure that these endorsements are complete and current. Missing endorsements may cause a cancellation/reschedule and incur a cancellation fee. Other endorsements may apply, but at minimum you will need the following:  \n-A.1 Prerequisites for Practical Test (61 .39)  \n-A.2 Review of deficiencies on Knowledge Test (61 .39)  \n-A.38 Aeronautical Knowledge Test (61 .35 A1 and 61.65A & B)  \n-A.39 Flight proficiency and practical test (61 .65 A6)  \n-A.40 Prerequisites for Instrument Practical Test (61 .39(a))  \n-A.65 Completion of a Flight Review (61 .56) . You will need proof of a current flight review or the equivalent to be PIC and take this test.  \n-A.73 Retesting after failure of a practical or knowledge test (61 .49) , if applicable.  \nRequired Documents:  \nPlease ensure that you have ALL the following (applicable) documents, in addition to the required endorsements listed above. If you are missing documents or endorsements, I won't be able to conduct your test and we will need toreschedule for another day. This could result in a minimum $300.00 rescheduling fee.  \n-Completed application in IACRA  \n-Paper copy of the 8710-1 printed from IACRA with the CFI signature. (Hopefully we won't need this, but if IACRA is unavailable we can conduct the test with a paper copy in hand) .  \n-Knowledge test results  \n-Pilot logbook with all pages totaled  \n-Record of ground instruction received (This is often missing) I can't conduct the test without it. You are paying your CFI to give you flight and ground training, make them log it as required.  \n-Government issued photo Identification. Passport, US Driver License, Military ID, etc.  \n-Pilot Certificate and valid, signed medical certificate (original, no photocopies) , Third Class or higher OR Basic-Med  \n-Required aircraft documents (AR(R)OW, as applicable) and required supplements.  \n-All current aircraft maintenance records (AV1ATES, as applicable. Please confirm all pertinent AD compliance!) photocopies acceptable. (Airworthiness checklist link)  \n-Completed cross-country navlog, with supporting documentation (charts, weather briefing information, performance data,etc) . Navlog MUST have all relevant flight and airport information for discussion. (Not just waypoints) . For discussion, Print the NavLog generated from the “Flights” tab in ForeFlight, or whichever EFB you are planning to use. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PRINT THE WEATHER BRIEF.  \nTest Advice:  \n-Go through the maintenance records with your instructor well in advance of the test date. Verify that all the inspections are up to date, ESPECIALLY the airworthiness directives. Remember, 91.7 says that it is your responsibility as PIC to make sure the airplane is airworthy. While it is the owner's responsibility to keep it airworthy under 91 .405, it is your job to make sure the owner is doing their job. Please review 91.417 carefully. Lack of, or missing AD Compliance notes is a consistent issue. If they are not documented correctly, I cannot and will not fly your airplane, which means your test is cancelled. Blanket statements such as \"All ADs are current\" are not  \nacceptable. The FAA is very clear about the requirements. Remember that recurring ADs need to have their next due date listed too. This has been enough of an issue recently that I have adopted an “unprepared policy”.
