Q

What is the validity of an IPC?

A

An instrument proficiency check is valid:
* From the period the holder passes the flight test to the end of the 12th month after the month in which the holder passes the flight test.
or
* For the period during which the holder is successfully participating in an operator’s training and checking system for an IFR operation in the relevant aircraft.

  • visual reference can be maintained;
  • all elements of the meteorological minima are equal to or greater than those published for the aircraft performance category (see AIP ENR 1.5 Para 5.1.1 (Jepp TERMINAL – Instrument Approach/Take-off Procedures 7.1.1)); and
  • the aircraft is continuously in a position from which a descent to a landing on the intended runway can be made at a normal rate of descent using normal flight manoeuvres that will allow touchdown to occur within the touchdown zone of the runway of intended landing.
