In EASA Part-FCL, FCL.310 containts on several hundred pages all the required knowledge for the theoretical skill test for a CPL. However, different from other licenses described in Part-FCL (PPL, Aerobatic, VFR Night, Mountain, ...), there is no list of what's in the practical skill test.

What's included in the CPL practical skill test? What are the tolerances for maneuvers etc?

Appendix 4 - Skill test for the issue of a CPL

A. General
1. An applicant for a skill test for the CPL shall have received instruction on the same class or type of aircraft to be used in the
test.
2. An applicant shall pass all the relevant sections of the skill test. If any item in a section is failed, that section is failed.
Failure in more than one section will require the applicant to take
the entire test again. An applicant failing only in one section shall
only repeat the failed section. Failure in any section of the retest,
including those sections that have been passed on a previous attempt,
will require the applicant to take the entire test again. All relevant
sections of the skill test shall be completed within 6 months. Failure
to achieve a pass in all relevant sections of the test in two attempts
will require further training.
3. Further training may be required following any failed skill test. There is no limit to the number of skill tests that may be attempted.

CONDUCT OF THE TEST
4. Should the applicant choose to terminate a skill test for reasons considered inadequate by the Flight Examiner (FE), the applicant shall
retake the entire skill test. If the test is terminated for reasons
considered adequate by the FE, only those sections not completed shall
be tested in a further flight.
5. At the discretion of the FE, any manoeuvre or procedure of the test may be repeated once by the applicant. The FE may stop the test at any
stage if it is considered that the applicant’s demonstration of flying
skills requires a complete re-test.
6. An applicant shall be required to fly the aircraft from a position where the PIC functions can be performed and to carry out the test as
if no other crew member is present. Responsibility for the flight
shall be allocated in accordance with national regulations.
7. An applicant shall indicate to the FE the checks and duties carried out, including the identification of radio facilities. Checks shall be
completed in accordance with the checklist for the aircraft on which
the test is being taken. During pre-flight preparation for the test,
the applicant is required to determine power settings and speeds.
Performance data for take-off, approach and landing shall be
calculated by the applicant in compliance with the operations manual
or flight manual for the aircraft used.
8. The FE shall take no part in the operation of the aircraft except where intervention is necessary in the interests of safety or to avoid
unacceptable delay to other traffic. B. Content of the skill test for
the issue of a CPL — Aeroplanes

1. The aeroplane used for the skill test shall meet the requirements for training aeroplanes, and shall be certificated for the carriage of
   at least four persons, have a variable pitch propeller and retractable
   landing gear.




2. The route to be flown shall be chosen by the FE and the destination shall be a controlled aerodrome. The applicant shall be responsible
   for the flight planning and shall ensure that all equipment and
   documentation for the execution of the flight are on board. The
   duration of the flight shall be at least 90 minutes.




3. The applicant shall demonstrate the ability to: (a) operate the aeroplane within its limitations, (b) complete all manoeuvres with
   smoothness and accuracy, (c) exercise good judgement and airmanship;
   (d) apply aeronautical knowledge; and (e) maintain control of the
   aeroplane at all times in such a manner that the successful outcome of
   a procedure or manoeuvre is never seriously in doubt.

FLIGHT TEST TOLERANCES
4. The following limits shall apply, corrected to make allowance for turbulent conditions and the handling qualities and performance of the
aeroplane used. Height normal flight ±100 feet with simulated engine
failure ±150 feet Tracking on radio aids ±5° Heading normal flight
±10° with simulated engine failure ±15° Speed take-off and approach ±5
knots all other flight regimes ±10 knots

CONTENT OF THE TEST
5. Items in section 2 (c) and (e)(iv), and the whole of sections 5 and 6 may be performed in an FNPT II or an FFS. Use of the aeroplane
checklists, airmanship, control of the aeroplane by external visual
reference, anti-icing/de-icing procedures and principles of threat and
error management apply in all sections.
