Which document outlines the prerequisites for the AMF Checkride?

The FAA's Airman Certification Standards (ACS) provides comprehensive guidelines regarding the knowledge, skills, and abilities that a pilot must demonstrate to be deemed competent for certification, including the prerequisites necessary to prepare for the AMF Checkride. The ACS serves as a benchmark for both training and assessment, clearly outlining what is expected from a pilot in terms of proficiency and understanding of aviation concepts, as well as the regulatory requirements that must be met prior to attempting the checkride. This document is essential for both instructors and students as it details the standards applicable for each phase of training and helps ensure that candidates are thoroughly prepared for the practical evaluation involved in the checkride process.

Other resources like the FAA’s Pilot Handbook and the FAA’s Flight Training Manual may provide useful information about flying principles and training techniques but do not specifically outline the prerequisites required for the checkride itself. Similarly, while the Pilot Certification Guidelines encompass a broad overview of the certification process, they do not delineate the specific criteria that must be met in the context of the ACS.
