- FAA airport categories
The United States Federal Aviation Administration FAA has a system for categorizing public use airport s along with heliport s and other aviation bases that is primarily based on the level of commercial passenger traffic through each facility. It is used to determine if an airport is eligible for funding through the federal government s Airport Improvement Program AIP . Fewer than 20 of airports in the U.S. qualify for the program, though most that don t qualify are private use only airports. ref cite web url http www.gaservingamerica.com how work work airport2.htm title The Federal Aviation Administration s Take on Airports work General Aviation Flying publisher Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association archiveurl http web.archive.org web 20070927210604 http www.gaservingamerica.com how work work airport2.htm archivedate September 27, 2007 ref At the bottom end are general aviation airports . To qualify for the AIP, they must have at least 10 aircraft based there, but handle fewer than 2,500 scheduled passengers each year. This means that most aircraft are small and are operated by individuals or other private entities, and little or no commercial airline traffic occurs. Nearly three quarters of AIP funded airports are of this type. Most of the remaining airfields that qualify for funding are commercial service airports , and are more dependent on regularly scheduled commercial airline traffic. This is subcategorized into primary airports , which handle more than 10,000 passengers each year, and nonprimary airports , which handle between 2,500 and 10,000 passengers annually. ref name FAA airport categories http www.faa.gov airports planning capacity passenger allcargo stats categories Federal Aviation Administration Airport Categories ref These categories account for over 15 of AIP funded airports in the U.S. Primary airports are further subcategorized into ref name FAA airport categories Nonhub primary &ndash airports handling over 10,000 but less than 0.05 of the country ... more details

- FAA Practical Test
A practical test , or checkride is the most common name for part of a Federal Aviation Administration examination which one must undergo in the United States to receive an aircraft pilot s certification, or an endorsement for additional flight privileges. The name refers to the portion of the examination in which the candidate being examined flies in an aircraft with the Designated Pilot Examiner to demonstrate competency in the skills that are required for the certification. Although checkride is the most commonly used term, it is considered informal and is technically known as a Practical Test by the FAA and in all its literature, and the specific objectives which the candidate must meet are called the Practical Test Standards , or PTS. In addition to successfully completing a checkride, one must also complete an oral examination which happens before, and often to some extent, during the checkride , and meet certain basic aeronautical experience requirements such as number of hours flown as well as pass a separate multiple choice computer administered test that is quite consistently called the written test , even though it involves no writing at all. During a checkride, an examiner takes a role more like that of a passenger rather than an instructor. That is, it s the examiner s job to observe that the candidate demonstrates good decision making skills, rather than to teach or to act as a crewmember, although an examiner is likely to offer advice during the ride if so inclined. The examiner usually does not touch any of the aircraft controls unless necessary to maintain the safety of the flight in which case, the candidate usually fails the examination instantly, except for the part when the examiner acts as a safety pilot during operations with a view limiting device . While the Practical Test Standards outline very specific tolerances that a prospect must adhere to, the examiner has a certain amount of subjective control over whether the student passes or fails. ... more details
