It outlines the practical test workflow, including briefings, oral examination, pre-flight and flight examination, and post-test actions, while emphasizing quality control and evaluation-only responsibilities of the DPE. It also covers test structure and limitations: required qualifications, scenario(s) provision, IACRA usage, private testing rules, PIC responsibilities during flight, FAA oversight, and common
