- **PL.V.G.R1a** — a. Powerplant failure during approach
- **PL.V.G.R1b** — b. Rejected landing
- **PL.V.G.R2** — Effects of:
- **PL.V.G.R2a** — a. Crosswind
- **PL.V.G.R2b** — b. Windshear
- **PL.V.G.R2c** — c. Tailwind
- **PL.V.G.R2d** — d. Wake turbulence
- **PL.V.G.R2e** — e. Runway surface/condition
- **PL.V.G.R3** — Collision hazards.
- **PL.V.G.R4** — Low altitude maneuvering, including stall, spin, or controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).
- **PL.V.G.R5** — Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation.

## Skills elements

- **PL.V.G.S1** — Complete the appropriate checklist(s).
- **PL.V.G.S2** — Ensure the aircraft is correctly configured for the landing.
- **PL.V.G.S3** — Comply with air traffic control (ATC) or evaluator instructions and make radio calls as appropriate.
- **PL.V.G.S4** — Maintain a ground track that ensures the desired traffic pattern flown takes into consideration obstructions and air traffic control (ATC) or evaluator instructions.
- **PL.V.G.S5** — Ensure the aircraft is aligned with the correct/assigned runway or landing surface.
- **PL.V.G.S6** — Consider the wind conditions, aircraft performance, landing surface, obstructions, and select a suitable touchdown point.
- **PL.V.G.S7** — Maintain crosswind correction and directional control throughout the approach and landing.
- **PL.V.G.S8** — Make smooth, timely, and correct control application during round out and touchdown.
- **PL.V.G.S9** — Touch down at the appropriate speed, aircraft configuration and pitch attitude.
- **PL.V.G.S10** — On touchdown, maintain proper ground track.
- **PL.V.G.S11** — After touchdown, reconfigure the aircraft for surface/hover taxi.
- **PL.V.G.S12** — Execute a timely go-around for any condition that may result in an unsafe approach or landing.
- **PL.V.G.S13** — Use single-pilot resource management (SRM) or crew resource management (CRM), as appropriate.
- **PL.V.G.S14** — Use runway incursion avoidance procedures, if applicable.

## Difficulty methodology

Difficulty calibration is ongoing for this Task. Observed difficulty is a privacy-thresholded check-ride.ai mock-oral practice proxy, not an FAA practical-test pass or fail rate. Underlying sample sizes and the private reporting threshold are not published.

## Use in practice

A mock examiner can ask a pilot to explain the published elements, apply them to the configured aircraft and airport context, identify risks, and defend a decision. Practice prompts are not represented as actual FAA examiner scripts or predictions of the questions a candidate will receive.
