Aim
To determine that the candidate has sufficient knowledge of IFR procedures to safely conduct a flight under Instrument Flight Rules.
Description
The candidate will demonstrate a practical knowledge of IFR procedures by responding to a brief series of oral questions posed by the examiner that pertain to the planned flight and other questions pertinent to IFR flight in other areas.
Performance Criteria
Assessment will be based on the candidate’s ability to demonstrate, prior to departure, sufficient practical knowledge of IFR procedures to ensure a safe flight, such as:
- take-off weather limits;
- departure procedures;
- missed approach and departure procedures - climb gradient;
- take-off minima – weather below landing minima;
- alternate weather minima;
- enroute procedures;
- approach ban;
- landing minima;
- RVOP and LVOP;
- icing encounters;
- approach charts; and
- altitude correction chart (cold temperature correction).
