ATP.I.E — Air Carrier Operations (ATP) (AMEL, AMES)

Objective: To determine that the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with air carrier operations.

Knowledge

The applicant demonstrates understanding of:

• AA.I.E.K1Turbine engines, thrust reversing systems, and system malfunctions.
• AA.I.E.K2Airplane automation components (i.e., flight director, autopilot), their relationship to each other, and how to manage the automation for flight.
• AA.I.E.K3Advanced navigation equipment (e.g., FMS, RNP, ADS-B, EFB, etc.) and how it is used inflight.
• AA.I.E.K4Flightpath warning systems (e.g., TCAS, TAWS) and how to respond to a warning.
• AA.I.E.K5Altitudes and conditions that require the use of oxygen masks.
• AA.I.E.K6Causes and recognition of cabin pressure loss.
