RECORD OF CHANGES FOR FAA-S-8081-16, COMMERCIAL PILOTPRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS FOR
ROTORCRAFTChange 1: 3/1/96
Reason:
1. Commercial Pilot-Rotorcraft Practical Test Prerequisites, (page vii). Delete item #2, and renumberthe remaining prerequisites. There is no requirement for possessing and instrument rating when makingapplication for initial Rotorcraft-Helicopter, certification.
2. Commercial Pilot-Rotorcraft-Gyroplane PTS, AREA OF OPERATION VI, GROUNDREFERENCE MANEUVER-Eights Around Pylons, (pages 2-ii, 2-viii, and 2-16). All reference toGround Reference Maneuvers are deleted from Gyroplane PTS. It has been determined that thisAREA OF OPERATION is not appropriate to Gyroplane training and testing.
