6 HIT rule, what can be done in the simulator (ATD)
In the last 6 months, 6 HITS:
– 6 instrument approaches
– Holding procedures & tasks
– TRACKING and intercepting courses through the use of electronic navigation SYSTEMS
Or, use an ATD in the last 2 calendar months:
– 3 hours instrument experience
– Holding procedures & tasks
– 2 unusual attitude recoveries in a DESCENDING VNE conditions
– 2 unusual attitudes recoveries in an ASCENDING stall speed condition
Not current 6 months? Fly 6 HITS with a safety pilot.
Not current 12 months?? Need an IPC.
What is an IPC and what is in it (91.205)
IPC can be conducted with a CFII, examiner, or “approved person.”
Certain tasks can be completed in the simulator, but a full IPC can only be conducted in the actual aircraft or in certain full-motion simulators.
IPC must contain:
(i) Air traffic control clearances and procedures;
(ii) Flight by reference to instruments;
(iii) Navigation systems;
(iv) Instrument approach procedures;
(v) Emergency operations; and
(vi) Postflight procedures.
Compass errors ANDS/UNOS
ANDS (true in the NORTHERN hemisphere): Acceleration North, Deceleration South - If on an east or west heading, acceleration results in a northerly turning indication and deceleration results in a southerly turning indication
UNOS: Undershoot North, Overshoot South - In the NORTHERN hemisphere, UNDERshoot your heading. In the SOUTHERN hemisphere, OVERshoot your heading.

VOR testing (91.171)
VFR needs to be checked every 30 DAYS • VOT ±4° • Repair station ±4° • VOR ground checkpoint ±4° • VOR airborne checkpoint ±6° • Dual VOR cross-check ±4° • Above a prominent ground landmark on a selected radial at least 20 NM from a VOR, flying at a “reasonably low altitude” ±6°
[CHECK ON THIS] Hierarchy of VOR testing - what test do I use first
X
- GPS and testing
X
- How can I use GPS
X
- GPS certification and retrofitting (STCs) certification - airplane with different factory equipment
X
- Frost on the wings - clean aircraft concept, check the POH
X
How would I deice if I find frost of the wing
- Remove any snow from the airplane using a soft brush
–– Do not scrape with force to avoid damaging the wings
––Don’t scrape the windows like a car - If it cannot be removed with gentle brushing, melt it in the hangar or use de-icing fluid
–Deice– - Remove any snow from the airplane using a soft brush.
- Spray de-icing fluid onto ice-covered surfaces using a suitable spray brush
- Use a soft piece of cloth to wipe the airplane dry
- Understand icing
