Chapter 1

CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 The Right Standards Directorate of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Pakistan has developed

this book as the guide to be used by CAA Flight inspectors and designated Check Pilots (CPs)/Designated Examiners, when conducting commercial pilot - aeroplane skill tests. Information considered mandatory in nature is described as "shall" and "must". Guidance information is described in terms such as "should" and "may" indicating the actions are desirable or permissive but not mandatory.

1.2 Skill level requirements and other related requirements are given in Licensing ANOs. Extreme

care has been taken to make this guide in accordance with relevant ANOs. However, IF A CONTRADICTION(s) IS FOUND IN THIS GUIDE AND ANY OF THE ANOs, LATER WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THIS GUIDE.

1.3 The word "examiner" or “Check Pilot” is used throughout the guide to denote either the CAA

Flight inspector, CP or CAA designated examiner, who conducts an official skill test. SKILL TEST GUIDE DESCRIPTION 1.4 The Commercial Pilot Skill Test Guide explains conduct of operations for the issuance of an

initial commercial pilot License renewal, revalidation and for the addition of aircraft ratings to the License.

CHECK PILOT GUIDE BOOK DESCRIPTION 1.5 AREAS OF OPERATIONS are phases of the skill test arranged in a logical sequence. They

begin with preflight preparation and end with post flight procedures. The examiner, however, may conduct the skill test in any sequence that results in a complete and efficient test.

1.6 TASKS are titles of knowledge areas, flight procedures, or maneuvers appropriate to an AREA

OF OPERATION. 1.7 NOTE is used to emphasize special considerations required in the AREA OF OPERATION or

TASK. 1.8 The OBJECTIVE lists the important elements that must be satisfactorily performed to

demonstrate competency in a TASK. The Objective includes:

a) Specifically what the applicant should be able to do; b) The conditions under which the TASK is to be performed; and c) The acceptable guides of performance.

USE OF GUIDE BOOK 1.9 The Check Pilot Guide has been designed to evaluate the competency of commercial pilots in

both knowledge and skill. The CAA requires that all skill tests be conducted in accordance with the appropriate Check Pilot's Guide and relevant ANOs. In order to achieve this task,

Page 12: CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE Aircraft operating manual means a Pilot’s Operating Manual, a Pilot’s Operating Handbook, a Flight Crew Operating Manual or a Manual established

CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE – 5700 KGs & BELOW (PCAAD-627)

01/08/2019 1-2 MNL-008-FSAS-2.0

Commercial pilot License applicants shall be evaluated in ALL TASKS included in the AREAS OF OPERATION of this skill test guide (unless instructed otherwise). Task valid only for either Single Engine (S E) or Multi Engine (M E) Aeroplane; have been mentioned in front of that task/Area of Operation. If type of Aeroplane is not mentioned, then that particular task/Area of Operation applies to both types i.e. S E and M E Aeroplanes.

1.10 In preparation for each skill test, the examiner shall develop a written "plan of action." The "plan

of action" shall include all TASKS in each AREA OF OPERATION. If the elements in one TASK have already been evaluated in another TASK, they need not be repeated. For example: the "plan of action" need not include evaluating the applicant on complying with markings, signals, and clearances at the end of the flight if that element was sufficiently observed at the beginning of the flight. Any TASKS selected for evaluation during a skill test shall be evaluated in its entirety.

1.11 The examiner is not required to follow the precise order in which the AREAS OF OPERATION

and TASKS appear in this book. The examiner may change the sequence or combine TASKS with .similar Objectives to have an orderly and efficient flow of the skill test. For example, emergency descents may be combined with high-altitude operations. The examiner's "plan of action" shall include the order and combination of TASKS to be demonstrated by the applicant in a manner that will result in an efficient and valid test.

1.12 Examiners shall place special emphasis upon areas of aircraft operation that are most critical to

flight safety. Among these are precise aircraft control and sound judgment in decision-making. Although these areas may or may not be shown under each TASK, they are essential to flight safety and shall receive careful evaluation throughout the skill test. If these areas are shown in the Objective, additional emphasis shall be placed on them. THE EXAMINER SHALL ALSO EMPHASIZE STALL/SPIN AWARENESS, WAKE TURBULENCE AVOIDANCE, LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR, COLLISION AVOIDANCE, RUNWAY INCURSION AVOIDANCE, AND CHECKLIST USAGE.

1.13 The examiner is expected to use good judgment in the performance of simulated emergency

procedures. The use of the safest means for simulation is expected. Consideration must be given to local conditions, both meteorological and topographical, at the time of the test, as well as the applicant's ATC workload, and the condition of the aircraft used. If the procedure being evaluated would put the maneuver in jeopardy, it is expected that the applicant will simulate that portion of the maneuver.

Chapter 2 GENERAL CONDITIONS / INFORMATION 2.1 DELEGATION POLICY. The check pilot availability is to allow an Air Operator to develop

and maintain a program of flight crew checks independent of the availability of Inspectors of the Authority. Check Pilots must, however, be constantly aware that they perform their testing/checking duties as delegates of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority under CAR. Therefore they should uphold the expectation of the Authority at all times and be loyal to the Authority when performing such delegated tasks and functions 2.1.1 In ideal case, all the testing/checking tasks and functions should be performed by the

Inspectors attached to the Authority in order to ensure that every pilot achieves and maintains the required level of proficiency in accordance with the Civil Aviation Regulations whilst performing flying duties.

2.1.2 However, due to shortage of required inspectors with the Authority to perform such

tasks, sufficiently experienced pilots with integrity in the air operators’ fleet may be considered to perform such duties and functions under delegation, for and or on behalf of the Authority, to supplement State’s Safety Oversight responsibility by delegation of certain powers and functions.

2.1.3 The Check Pilots shall bear in mind that the standards of competence of pilots depend to

a great extent on their competence. During conduct of such tests/checks and the mode and manner that such tests/checks are carried out.

2.1.4 The Check Pilot (CP) conduct of Flight or Skill Tests/ Proficiency Checks are closely

monitored by and, at the option of the Authority in order to ascertain whether he/she is in a position to discharge the delegated tasks and functions independently meeting the required standards, without any bias or deviation. Such a monitoring is required for the standardization of the testing/checking procedures of CPs.

2.1.5 An Inspector may conduct any of the Flight or Skill Tests /Checks referred to in this

manual, at any time if deemed so necessary, by the Authority. An Inspector may monitor any approved CP conducting any flight / skill test or check.

2.1.6 Qualified personnel of integrity, nominated by an Air Operator will be designated by the

Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority for the position of CPs. The authority is not transferable between Air Operators. However, experience of working as CPs with one operator will be an added qualification, when it comes to appointment as a CP for another operator functioning under the same Authority.

2.1.7 A CP shall hold appropriate license and rating granting privileges at least equal to the

license or rating for which they are authorized to conduct tests/checks. 2.1.8 Under the CAR, CPs are holders of an ‘authority’ delegated to them by the Pakistan

Civil Aviation Authority. This authority is in the form of an approval document issued to the CP authorizing CP duties subject to the conditions listed therein.

2.1.9 The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority may suspend or cancel an ‘authority’ without

assigning a reason.

01/08/2019 2-2 MNL-008-FSAS-2.0

2.1.10 CP shall not conduct test/check on applicants to whom they have given flight instruction

for that license or rating except with the express consent in writing of the Authority. 2.1.11 The CP authority to conduct tests/checks in accordance with CAR will specify the type of

Test/Check the CP may conduct and on which aircraft type. 2.1.12 PPCs and IRTs shall not be conducted during revenue flights. 2.1.13 CP are Authorized Persons of the Authority to perform the delegated tasks and

functions and hold the same powers as of the regular Inspector attached to the Authority when performing such duties.

2.1.14 An Air Operator shall advise the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority when a CP is no

longer employed by the Company or will not be required to perform CP duties during the coming 12 months.

2.1.15 Though the CP is the holder of the authorization he/she requires the authority of the

company to do a check ride on behalf of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority. 2.1.16 CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Conflict of Interest is defined as any relationship that might

influence a CP to act, either knowingly or unknowingly, in a manner that does not hold the safety and adherence to rules and regulations as the primary and highest priority.

2.10 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ISSUE/ RENEWAL/ PPCs AND IRTs

2.10.1 Purpose

2.10.1.1 PPCs and IRTs are conducted/monitored to assess the effectiveness and standard of the Air Operator's training and flight checking system and to qualify pilots for Air Operator operations in accordance with CARs.

2.10.1.2 The PPC and IRT will be conducted in accordance with the standards

described in this chapter as applicable. The PPC and IRT will be documented on the prescribed Report Form.

2.10.1.3 A PPC and IRT is deemed to be an initial check if the validity period of the last

check on type has expired by 24 months or more. 2.10.2 The Inspector and CP Relationship. It is desirable to have a CP or a training pilot

assist the Inspector on a Flight Check or Flight Simulation Training Device Check requiring an Inspector's participation; however, if a CP is not available, the flight check will be conducted solely by the Inspector as follows:

2.10.2.1 if the aircraft is certified for single-pilot operation, the Inspector may occupy the

co-pilot position except where the Air Operator has indicated in its operations manual that all flights will require a two-man crew;

2.10.2.2 where the aircraft is certified for operations with a minimum of two flight crew

and/or three crew (a flight engineer) the Inspector shall occupy the jump seat, the candidate will occupy either of the two pilot seats and a qualified safety pilot shall occupy the remaining pilot position; and

2.10.2.3 when the aircraft type specification requires two pilots, but is not equipped with

a jump seat, the Inspector may occupy the captain /co‐pilot position providing he/she is endorsed and current on the aircraft type, trained and competent on company operations and has written authority from the company.

2.10.2.4 The aircraft which is not equipped with jump seat, the inspector shall monitor

the check as per instructions of Director Flight Standards.

2.11 PARTICIPATION. When conducting a PPC or IRT in an aircraft, the CP may act as safety pilot and occupy either of the pilot flight positions or a jump seat in case of a flight engineer being checked. In these circumstances, the pre-flight briefing shall include in-flight duties assigned to the CP. Those duties shall be kept to a minimum to ensure adequate observation of the pilot's procedures, techniques and performance. CPs shall refrain from training or demonstrating proper technique during a check. Aircraft used for the flight check shall be equipped with fully functioning dual controls and provide for a satisfactory means of verbal communication.

SPECIFIC GUIDE LINES FOR SKILL TEST 3.1 COMMERCIAL PILOT - AEROPLANE SKILL TEST PRE-REQUISITES

3.1.1 An applicant for the commercial pilot License – aeroplane is required to:

3.1.1.1 Possess at least a valid Student Pilot License or private pilot License with an aeroplane rating, if a commercial pilot License with an aeroplane rating is sought, or meet the flight experience required for the License sought (aeroplane rating);

3.1.1.2 Pass the appropriate CAA written examination with in 24th months before the skill test is taken;

3.1.1.3 Obtain the applicable instruction and aeronautical experience prescribed for the

pilot License or rating sought;

3.1.1.4 Possess a current class one medical Certificate.

3.1.1.5 Meet the age requirement for the issuance of the License;

3.1.1.6 Possess a written recommendation from an authorized flight instructor certifying that the applicant has been given flight instruction in preparation for the skill test, unless otherwise permitted by CAA.

3.1.1.7 Meet any other requirement, where applicable, set by Personnel Licensing

Authority in Adequacy and Review of Requirement Form (CL-4).

3.2 AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR THE SKILL TEST

3.2.1 The commercial pilot License applicant is required to provide an airworthy aircraft for use during the skill test. The aircraft should:

3.2.1.1 Have fully functioning dual controls. 3.2.1.2 Be capable of performing ALL appropriate TASKS for the commercial pilot

License or rating and have no operating limitations that prohibit the performance of those TASKS.

3.3 USE OF CAA-APPROVED FLIGHT SIMULATOR OR FLIGHT TRAINING

DEVICE

3.3.1 An applicant for Commercial Pilot License (CPL) may be authorized to use a Pakistan CAA approved flight simulator or flight training device, to complete certain flight task requirements listed in this skill test guide. An applicant seeking such certification must complete the training and testing requirements at an approved Flying Training Organization (FTO). The credit for such simulator or device would be as given in relevant ANOs.

3.3.2 An applicant seeking an added aeroplane rating to a commercial License may also use

CAA Pakistan approved flight simulator or flight training device to complete the flight task subject to limitations of respective ANOs.

3.3.3 When flight tasks are accomplished in an aeroplane, certain task elements may be

accomplished through "simulated" actions in the interest of safety and practicality, but

Page 20: CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE Aircraft operating manual means a Pilot’s Operating Manual, a Pilot’s Operating Handbook, a Flight Crew Operating Manual or a Manual established

CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE – 5700 KGs & BELOW (PCAAD-627)

01/08/2019 3-2 MNL-008-FSAS-2.0

when accomplished in a flight simulator or flight- training device, these actions would not be "simulated." For example, when in an aeroplane, a simulated engine fire may be addressed by retarding the throttle to idle, simulating the shutdown of the engine, simulating the discharge of the fire suppression agent, if applicable, simulating disconnect of associated electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatics systems, etc. However, when the same emergency condition is addressed in a flight simulator or flight-training device, all task elements must be accomplished as would be expected under actual circumstances.

3.3.4 Similarly, safety of flight precautions taken in the aircraft for the accomplishment of a

specific maneuver or procedure (such as limiting altitude in an approach to stall or setting maximum airspeed for an engine failure expected to result in a rejected takeoff) need not be taken when a flight simulator or flight training device is used.

3.3.5 It is important to understand that whether accomplished in an aircraft, flight simulator or

flight training device, all TASKS and elements for each maneuver or procedure shall have the same performance guides applied equally for determination of overall satisfactory performance.

3.4 EXAMINER RESPONSIBILITY

3.4.1 The examiner conducting the skill test is responsible for determining that the applicant meets the acceptable standards of knowledge and skill of each TASK within the appropriate skill test guide. Since there is no formal division between the "oral" and "skill" portions of the skill test, this becomes an ongoing process throughout the test. To avoid unnecessary distractions, oral questioning should be used judiciously at all times, especially during the flight portion of the skill test.

3.4.2 Examiners shall test to the greatest extent practicable the applicant's correlative abilities

rather than mere rote enumeration of facts throughout the skill test. 3.4.3 During the flight portion of the skill test, the examiner shall evaluate the applicant's use of

visual scanning and collision avoidance procedures. 3.5 SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE

3.5.1 Satisfactory performance to meet the requirements for certification is based on the applicant's ability to safely: 3.5.1.1 Perform the approved areas of operation for the License or rating;

3.5.1.2 Maintain control of the aeroplane at all times in a manner such that the

successful outcome of a procedure or maneuver is never seriously in doubt.

3.5.1.3 Demonstrate sound judgment; and

3.5.1.4 Demonstrate single-pilot competence if the aircraft is certified for single-pilot operations.

3.6 UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE

3.6.1 If, in the judgment of the examiner, the applicant does not meet the given guides of performance of any TASK performed, the associated AREA OF OPERATION is failed and therefore, the skill test is failed. The examiner or applicant may discontinue the test any time after the failure of an AREA OF OPERATION and makes the applicant ineligible for the License or rating sought. However, the test may be continued ONLY with the consent of the applicant. If the test is either continued or discontinued, the applicant is entitled credit for only those AREAS OF OPERATION satisfactorily performed. However, during the retest and at the discretion of the examiner, any TASK

Page 21: CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE Aircraft operating manual means a Pilot’s Operating Manual, a Pilot’s Operating Handbook, a Flight Crew Operating Manual or a Manual established

CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE – 5700 KGs & BELOW (PCAAD-627)

01/08/2019 3-3 MNL-008-FSAS-2.0

may be re-evaluated including those previously passed. Typical areas of unsatisfactory performance and grounds for disqualification are:

3.6.2 Any action or lack of action by the applicant that requires corrective intervention by the examiner to maintain safe flight.

3.6.3 Failure to use proper and effective visual scanning techniques to clear the area before

and while performing maneuvers.

3.6.4 Consistently exceeding tolerances stated in the Objectives,

3.6.5 Failure to take prompt corrective action when tolerances are exceeded.

3.6.6 When the performance of candidate is not satisfactory, the examiner shall record, on the skill test form, the applicant's unsatisfactory performance in terms of AREA OF OPERATIONS appropriate to the skill test conducted.

3.7 Crew Resource Management (CRM). "CRM" refers to the effective use of ALL

available resources; human resources, hardware, and information. "Human resources" includes all other groups routinely working with the cockpit crew (or pilot) who are involved in decisions that are required to operate a flight safely. These groups include, but are not limited to: dispatchers, cabin crewmembers, maintenance personnel and air traffic controllers. CRM is not a single TASK; it is a set of skill competencies that must be evident in all TASKS in this skill test guide as applied to either single pilot or a multi-crew operation.

3.8 APPLICANT'S USE OF CHECKLISTS. Throughout the skill test, the applicant is

evaluated on the use of an appropriate checklist. Proper use is dependent on the specific TASK being evaluated. The situation may be such that the use of the checklist, while accomplishing elements of an Objective, would be either unsafe or unfeasible, especially in a single-pilot operation. In this case, the method might demand the need to review the checklist after the elements have been met. In any case, use of a checklist must consider proper scanning vigilance and division of attention at all times.

3.9 USE OF DISTRACTIONS DURING SKILL TESTS. Numerous studies indicate that

many accidents have occurred when the pilot has been distracted during critical phases of flight. To evaluate the pilot's ability to utilize proper control technique while dividing attention both inside and/or outside the cockpit, the examiner shall cause a realistic distraction during the flight portion of the skill test to evaluate the applicant's ability to divide attention while maintaining safe flight.

3.10 POSITIVE EXC HANGE OF FLIGHT CONTROLS.

3.10.1 During flight training, there must always be a clear understanding between students and flight instructors of who has control of the aircraft. Prior to flight, a briefing should be conducted that includes the procedure for the exchange of flight controls. A positive three-step process in the exchange of flight controls between pilots is a proven procedure and one that is strongly recommended.

3.10.2 When the instructor wishes the student to take control of the aircraft, he/she will say,

"You have the flight controls". The student acknowledges immediately by saying, "I have the flight controls". The flight instructor again says, "You have the flight controls". When control is returned to the instructor, follow the same procedure. A visual check is recommended to verify that the exchange has occurred. There should never be any doubt as to who is flying the aircraft.

3.11 FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RESPONSIBILITY

3.11.1 An appropriately rated flight instructor is responsible for training the commercial pilot License applicant to acceptable standards in all subject matter areas, procedures, and maneuvers included in the TASKS within the appropriate commercial pilot skill test guide. Additionally, the flight instructor must ensure that the applicant is able to perform safely as a pilot and is competent to pass the required skill test.

3.11.2 Throughout the applicant's training, the flight instructor is responsible for emphasizing

the performance of effective visual scanning, collision avoidance, and runway incursion avoidance procedures.

Chapter 4

CHECK PILOT GUIDE INSTRUMENT RATING AIRCRAFT (IR)

GENERAL INFORMATION 4.1 Instrument rating guide has been developed to be used by CAA inspectors and designated check

pilot examiners when conducting instrument rating---aeroplane and helicopter skill tests, and instrument proficiency checks for all aircraft. The pre-requisites to qualify for instrument rating test are given in relevant ANOs. However, instructors are expected to use this guide when preparing applicants for skill tests. Applicants should be familiar with this guide and refer to this guide during their training. IF A CONTRADICTION(s) IS FOUND IN THIS GUIDE AND ANY OF THE ANOs, LATER WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THIS GUIDE.

CHECK PILOT GUIDE BOOK DESCRIPTION 4.2 This test guide contains the instrument rating skill test guide for aeroplane and helicopter. It also

contains TASK requirements for the addition of aeroplane and helicopter, if an instrument rating is possessed by the applicant, in at least one other aircraft category. Required TASKS for instrument proficiency checks (PC) are also contained in this skill test guide.

4.3 An applicant holding an aeroplane or helicopter instrument rating will not have to take the entire

test when applying for an added rating. The TASKS required for each additional instrument rating are shown in the Rating Task Table on page 47.

4.4 The abbreviations within parentheses immediately following a task indicates the task is

appropriate to aeroplane, helicopter or pilot proficiency check. The meanings of the abbreviations are as under:

a) AP Aeroplane b) HELI Helicopter c) PC Proficiency check

USE OF GUIDE BOOK 4.5 The instrument rating skill test guide is designed to evaluate competency in both knowledge and

skill. 4.6 The CAA requires that all skill tests be conducted in accordance with the appropriate skill test

guide and relevant ANOs. Instrument rating applicants shall be evaluated in ALL TASKS included in the AREAS OF OPERATION of the appropriate skill test standard (unless instructed otherwise).

4.7 The TASKS apply to aeroplanes and helicopters. In certain instances, NOTES describe

differences in the performance of a TASK by an "aeroplane" applicant or "helicopter" applicant. When using the skill test guidebook, the examiner must evaluate the applicant's knowledge and skill in sufficient depth to determine that the guide of performance listed for all TASKS are met.

4.8 All TASKS in this skill test guide are required for the issuance of an instrument rating in

aeroplanes and helicopters. However, when a particular element is not appropriate to the aircraft, its equipment, or operational capability, that element may be omitted. Examples of these element exceptions would be high altitude weather phenomena for helicopters, integrated flight systems

for aircraft not so equipped, or other situations where the aircraft or operation is not compatible with the requirement of the element

PREREQUISITES OF INSTRUMENT RATING 4.9. An applicant for an instrument rating is required to:

4.9.1 hold at least a current private pilot license or higher, with an aircraft rating appropriate to the instrument rating sought;

4.9.2 pass the appropriate CAA written examination for IR;

4.9.3 complete approved IR course from CAA approved FTO or posses authenticated hours prescribed in relevant ANO for the instrument rating sought or complete approved IR course;

4.9.4 posses a current medical certificate;

4.9.5 obtain a written statement/appropriate form from an authorized flight instructor certifying

that the applicant has been trained and has satisfactory knowledge of the subject area(s) required to be tested.

4.9.6 Meet any other requirement, where applicable, set by Personnel Licensing Authority in

Adequacy and Review of Requirement Form (CL-4) AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR THE SKILL TEST 4.10. The applicant is to arrange, on his cost, an airworthy, certified Pakistan registered aircraft for use

during the skill test. The applicant is to ensure that:-

4.10.1 Operating limitations of the aircraft must not prohibit the TASKS required on the skill test.

4.10.2 Flight instruments are those required for controlling the aircraft without outside.

4.10.3 The required radio equipment is that which is necessary for communications with air traffic control (ATC),

4.10.4 The aircraft has instrumentations for the performance of two of the following non-

precision approaches i.e. VOR, NDB, LOC, and one precision approach i.e. ILS (glide slope, localizer, marker beacon etc.), and approach lights.

4.11 To obtain an instrument rating with multiengine privileges, an applicant must demonstrate

competency in a multiengine aeroplane not limited to center thrust. The multiengine aeroplane that is used to obtain unlimited multiengine privileges must have a Vmc speed established by the manufacturer, and produce an asymmetrical thrust configuration with the loss of one or more engines

EXAMINER'S RESPONSIBILITY 4.12 The examiner conducting the skill test is responsible for determining that the applicant meets the

acceptable standard of knowledge and skill of each TASK within the appropriate skill test

Page 25: CHECK PILOT’S GUIDE FOR AEROPLANE Aircraft operating manual means a Pilot’s Operating Manual, a Pilot’s Operating Handbook, a Flight Crew Operating Manual or a Manual established

standard. Since there is no formal division between the "oral" and "skill" portions of the skill test, this becomes an ongoing process throughout the test. To avoid unnecessary distractions, oral questioning should be used judiciously at all times, especially during the flight portion of the skill test.

4.13 Examiners shall test to the greatest extent practicable the applicant's correlative abilities rather

than mere rote enumeration of facts throughout the skill test. 4.14 During the flight portion of the skill test, the examiner shall evaluate the applicant's use of visual

scanning, and collision avoidance procedures, w hen appropriate. Except for takeoff and landing, all TASKS shall be conducted solely by reference to instruments under actual or simulated instrument flight conditions.

4.15 The examiner may not assist the applicant in the management of the aircraft, radio

communications, navigational equipment, and navigational charts. In the event the test is conducted in an aircraft operation requiring a crew of two, the examiner may assume the duties of the second in command. Most helicopters certified for IFR operations must be flown using two pilots or a single pilot with an approved autopilot or a stability augmentation system (SAS). Therefore, when conducting skill tests in a helicopter (without autopilot, SAS, or copilot), examiners may act as an autopilot (e.g., hold heading and altitude), when requested, to allow applicants to tune radios, select charts, etc. Examiners may perform the same functions as an autopilot but should not act as a copilot performing more extensive duties. The examiner shall remain alert for other traffic at all times.

SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE 4.16 Please refer to Para 3.5 page no 3-2. UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE 4.17 Please refer to Para 3.6 page no 3-2. DISCONTINUANCE OF MISSION 4 . 1 8 W h e n a skill test is discontinued for reasons other than unsatisfactory performance (i.e.,

equipment failure, weather, illness etc.), the credit would be given to the applicant for areas in which satisfactory performance has been demonstrated. This would be recorded on relevant CAA forms and be presented to next examiner in re-test and made part of documents submitted to Licensing Authority.

EXCHANGE OF FLIGHT CONTROLS 4.22 Please refer to Para 3.10 page no 3-3. FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS' RESPONSIBILITY 4.23 Please refer to Para 3.11 page no 3-4. EMPHASIS ON ATTITUDE INSTRUMENT FLYING AND PARTIAL-PANEL SKILLS 4.24 Many small aircraft are not equipped with dual, independent, gyroscopic heading or attitude

indicators and in many cases are equipped with only a single- vacuum source. Therefore, it is imperative for instrument pilots to acquire and maintain adequate partial-panel instrument skills and that they be cautioned not to be overly reliant upon the gyro-instrument systems.

4.25 The instrument rating skill test guide place increased emphasis on basic attitude instrument flying

and require the demonstration of partial-panel, non- precision instrument approach procedures. 4.26 Applicants may have an unfair advantage during partial-panel TASKS during an instrument

approach due to the location of the magnetic compass in some aircraft. When cross-checking the magnetic compass heading, a view of the runway or other visual clue may be sighted. It is the examiner's responsibility to determine if the applicant is receiving visual clues from outside the cockpit. If an examiner feels that the applicant is receiving outside visual clues, the examiner may devise other options to limit the applicant's view. By no means shall the examiner limit his view as the safety pilot.

4.27 AREA OF OPERATION IV requires the performance of basic instrument flight TASKS under both

full-panel and partial-panel conditions. These TASKS are described in detail in relevant study material. The TASKS require knowledge of attitude instrument flying procedures and a demonstration of the skills to perform the basic instrument maneuvers with full-instrument-panel and with certain instruments inoperative. The attitude instrument flying system of teaching is described in study material. It requires specific knowledge and interpretation of each individual instrument during training

4.28 A non-precision partial-panel approach is considered one of the most demanding situations that

could be encountered. If applicants can master this situation, they can successfully complete a less difficult precision approach. If an actual partial-panel approach in IMC becomes necessary, a less difficult precision approach should be requested, if available. Sound judgment would normally dictate such requests. However, this TASK during the instrument skill test requires that a non-precision approach be performed.

4.29 Examiners should determine that the applicant demonstrates competency in either the PRIMARY

and SUPPORTING or the CONTROL and PERFORMANCE CONCEPT method of instrument flying

4.30 RECOMMENDED ELEMENTS OF A STABILIZED APPROACH. All flights must be stabilized

by 1,000 feet above airport elevation in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) and by 500 feet above airport elevation in visual meteorological conditions (VMC). An approach is stabilized when all of the following criteria are met:

1.30.1 The aircraft is on the correct flight path;

1.30.2 Only small changes in heading/pitch are required to maintain the correct flight path;

1.30.3 The aircraft speed is not more than VREF + 20 knots indicated airspeed and not less than VREF

1.30.4 The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration;

1.30.5 Sink rate is no greater than 1,000 feet per minute: if an approach requires a sink rate

greater than 1,000 feet per minute, a special briefing should be conducted:

1.30.6 Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration and is not below the minimum power for approach as defined by the aircraft operating manual;

1.30.7 All briefings and checklists have been conducted;

1.30.8 Specific types of approaches are stabilized if they also fulfill the following: instrument

landing system (ILS) approaches must be flown within one dot of the glide slope and localizer; a Category II or Category III ILS approach must be flown within the expanded localizer band; during a circling approach, wings should be level on final when the aircraft reaches 300 feet above airport elevation; and,

1.30.9 Unique approach procedures or abnormal conditions requiring a deviation from the

above elements of a stabilized approach require a special briefing.

Note: An approach that becomes un-stabilized below 1,000 feet above airport elevation in 1MC or below 500 feet above airport elevation in VMC requires an immediate go-around.

C. TASK: ENGINE INOPERATIVE - LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DEMONSTRATION (M E Aeroplane Only)

NOTE: Aeroplanes with normally aspirated engines will lose power as altitude increases because of the reduced density of the air entering the induction system of the engine. This loss of power will result in a Vmc lower than the stall speed at higher altitudes. Also, some aeroplanes have such an effective rudder that even at sea level Vmc is lower than stall speed. For these aeroplanes, a demonstration of loss of directional control may be safely conducted by limiting travel of the rudder pedal to simulate maximum available rudder. Limiting travel of the rudder pedal should be accomplished at a speed well above the power-off stall speed (approximately 20 knots). This will avoid the hazards of stalling one wing with maximum allowable power applied to the engine on the other wing. In the event of any indication of stall prior to loss of directional control, recover to the entry airspeed. The demonstration should then be accomplished with the rudder pedal blocked at a higher airspeed. Do not perform this maneuver by increasing the pitch attitude to a high angle with both engines operating and then reducing power on the critical engine. This technique is hazardous and may result in loss of aeroplane control.

Objective. To determine that the applicant: 1. Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to engine inoperative loss of directional control by
