ratings and these are published as Advisory Circulars(ACs).This AC establishes the standards for the Private Pilot licence skill tests forhelicopters.Sierra Leone inspectors and designated pilot flight test examiners shallconduct skill tests in compliance with these standards.  Flight instructors andapplicants should find these standards helpful in skill test preparation.Other ACs havebeen developed for other airmen licences and can be obtained from the SLCAAwebsite:http://www.slcaa.gov.sl  \nInformation considered directive in nature is described in this skill test AC in termssuch as “shall”and \"must\",indicating the actions are mandatory.Guidanceinformation is described in terms such as “should”and “may”indicating the actionsare desirable or permissive,but not mandatory.  \nThe Sierra Leone Civil Aviation Regulations(SLCARs)can be obtained from theSLCAA at t","cbCailSTeS3wuaLb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailSTeS3wuaLb","pdf",1328358,33,"English","# FOREWORD\n# SECTION ONE: INSTRUCTIONS\n## 1.1 GENERAL\n## 1.2 PURPOSE\n## 1.3 SKILL TEST STANDARD CONCEPT\n## 1.4 SKILL TEST DESCRIPTION\n## 1.5 USE OF THE SKILL TEST STANDARDS\n## 1.6 SPECIAL EMPHASIS AREAS\n## 1.7 SKILL TEST PREREQUISITES\n## 1.8 AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR THE SKILL TEST\n## 1.9 USE OF SLCAA-APPROVED FLIGHT SIMULATION TRAINING DEVICE (RESERVED)\n## 1.10 FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RESPONSIBILITY\n## 1.11 EXAMINER RESPONSIBILITY\n## 1.12 SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE\n## 1.13 UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE\n## 1.14 DISCONTINUANCE OF A SKILL TEST\n## 1.15 AERONAUTICAL DECISION MAKING AND RISK MANAGEMENT\n## 1.16 CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (CRM)\n## 1.17 SINGLE-PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (SRM)\n## 1.18 HOW THE EXAMINER APPLIES CRM/SRM\n## 1.19 APPLICANT'S USE OF CHECKLISTS\n## 1.20 USE OF DISTRACTIONS DURING SKILL TESTS\n## 1.21 POSITIVE EXCHANGE OF FLIGHT CONTROLS\n## 1.22 RATING TASK TABLE\n# SECTION TWO: PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE HELICOPTER SKILL TEST STANDARDS\n## 1.1 APPLICANT'S SKILL TEST CHECKLIST (HELICOPTER)\n## 1.2 EXAMINER'S SKILL TEST CHECKLIST\n## 1.3 AREAS OF OPERATION\n# APPENDIX\n## TASK VS.
