• conduct a circling approach under the IFR only if:
- the holder passed the instrument rating flight test within the previous 12 months and that flight test included a circling approach; or
- the holder’s most recent instrument proficiency check (or operator’s proficiency check that covers IFR operations and is conducted by a flight examiner who holds an instrument rating flight test endorsement) included a circling approach; or
-the holder is successfully participating in an operator’s training and checking system for an operation that includes circling approaches;
• conduct an instrument approach only if the holder has completed training in the conduct of that instrument approach and has demonstrated competence to CASA or an examiner.
