ICAO SARPs

• Annex 6, 9.4.4 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
• An operator shall ensure that piloting technique
  and the ability to execute emergency procedures
  is checked to demonstrate competency
• If under instrument flight rules the pilots
  competence to comply with such rules is
  demonstrated
• Either a check pilot of the operator or to a
  representative of the State of the Operator
• Performed twice within any period of one year..

14
ICAO Guidance

• DOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
• when properly controlled by the CAA, the
  designation of qualified operator personnel to
  assist in some inspection functions, such as
  periodic pilot proficiency checks, route checks,
  etc., can be acceptable
• it must be stressed that the designated operator
  personnel, when performing their duties, must be
  kept under the supervisory and technical control
  of the CAA.

15
ICAO Guidance

• DOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
• Proficiency checks are carried out in accordance
  with the standards and frequency prescribed in
  the regulations
• The CAA inspector should possess the appropriate
  licence and be currently qualified in the
  specific type of aircraft to be used for the
  check
• Alternatively, the CAA inspector may choose to
  observe or monitor such checks conducted by an
  appropriately designated check pilot

16
ICAO Guidance

• DOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
• The CAA inspector should observe or monitor a
  sufficient number of checks conducted by such
  personnel each year in order to ensure positive
  CAA quality control of check procedures
• The pilot proficiency check should be conducted
  in such a manner that the pilot demonstrates
  knowledge, skill and judgment relative to
• the aircraft, its systems and components
• pilot performance in accordance with the
  procedures and limitations contained in the
  manufacturer's AFM, AOM, Operations Manual, etc.

New Altimeter Error Policy
"An aircraft altimeter which has the current
altimeter setting applied to the subscale should
not have an error of more than 50ft when
compared on the ground against a known
aerodrome/runway elevation. If the error is more
than 50 ft the accuracy of the altimeter is
questionable and the problem should be
investigated." (CAP.GEN)

Fly Runway Heading

flying a SID for which no specific heading is
published, pilots are expected to Fly runway

Altimeter Settings Requirements

• Before commencing an IFR approach, set
• current altimeter setting
• Altimeter setting can be local or remote
• Readings are considered current for up to 90
• minutes
• If pressure falling rapidly, may add value to
• published DH/MDA
• Correction factor to be applied for remote
• altimeter source
• Temperature correction to be applied
• in all cases

58
Visual Approach
VFR approach while on IFR flight plan Weather -
VFR (300m- 5km) ATC may give radar vectors to
gain operational advantages Weather - ceiling
200m above min vector altitude - ground vis at
least 5 km Condition pilot shall be in visual
contact with the airport and/or traffic Pilot is
responsible for - Wake turbulence separation -
noise abatement - Obstacle clearance
59
Cleared for an Approach
Cleared for an approach Can fly any published
inst. approach Can descend to minimum IFR
altitudes Three route options - cleared
route - transition - direct Must advise ATC
which route and approach
60
Straight-In Approach
No PT published straight-ins ATC radar-vectored
straight-ins Can not do straight-in otherwise

• Speeds UP to 91kt- 121- 141-
  Above
• 90kt 120kt 140kt 165kt
  165kt
• All rotocraft are Category A
• Use speed flown on approach to determine
  category
• Use Minima for category flown

63
Glidepath Fails During ILS
Advise ATC Determine new minima Change beacon
X-ing alt Time and descent rate to MDA If in
doubt, overshoot
64
Light Settings and RVR
RVR readouts compensate for the setting of the
runway edge lights. At setting 5 the RVR will
give the highest reading. This will affect the
RVR readout even if the runway lights are
off. ATC should advise pilots when the
runway light intensity is at setting 4 or 5.
65
Missed Approach During Circling
Commence climb Advise ATC Turn toward airport
(normally) Fly published procedure Use local
knowledge and plate to make a safe procedure

67
Landing Minima
Landings are governed by published
DH/MDAs. Pilots of aircraft on instrument
approaches are prohibited from continuing the
descent below DH or MDA, unless the required
visual reference is established and maintained in
order to complete a safe landing.
68
Visual References
At least one of the following a) The runway or
runway markings b) The runway threshold or
threshold markings c) The touchdown zone or
touchdown zone markings d) The approach
lights e) The approach slope indicator
system f) The runway identification lights
(rils) g) The threshold and runway end
lights h) The touchdown zone lights i) The
runway edge lights or j) The runway centreline
lights.
