“Throughout the practical test, the applicant is evaluated on the use of an appropriate checklist. Proper<br />
use is dependent on the specific TASK being evaluated. The situation may be such that the use of the<br />
checklist, while accomplishing elements of an Objective, would be either unsafe or impractical, especially<br />
in a single-pilot operation. In this case, a review of the checklist after the elements have been<br />
accomplished, would be appropriate. Division of attention <strong>and</strong> proper visual scanning should be<br />
considered when using a checklist.”<br />

o Ch. 1, page 6: Positive Transfer of Controls<br />
During flight training, there must always be a clear underst<strong>and</strong>ing between students <strong>and</strong> flight<br />
instructors of who has control of the aircraft. Prior to flight, a briefing should be conducted that<br />
includes the procedure for the exchange of flight controls. A positive three-step process in the<br />
exchange of flight controls between pilots is a proven procedure <strong>and</strong> one that is strongly<br />
recommended.<br />
When the instructor wishes the student to take control of the aircraft, he or she will say, “You<br />
have the flight controls.” The student acknowledges immediately by saying, “I have the flight<br />
controls.” The flight instructor again says, “You have the flight controls.” When control is<br />
returned to the instructor, follow the same procedure. A visual check is recommended to verify<br />
that the exchange has occurred. There should never by any doubt as to who is flying the<br />
aircraft.<br />
