AMC2 to Appendix 6 Modular training course for the IR

EASA aircrew training for instrument rating (IR) includes a 10-hour basic instrument flight module. Training covers instrument flying, unusual attitude recovery, and radio navigation. Simulators (FNPT, FFS, BITD) can be used with limitations. Completion requires certified flight training and instructor sign-off, documented with a certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exercise 8 includes turns, level change and recovery from unusual attitudes with simulated failure of the artificial horizon or directional gyro.

* Aviation.Bot's Suggestion - Always consult the original regulation for confirmation

All exercises may be performed in an FNPT I or II or an FFS, for a maximum of 5 hours. A BITD may be used for exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8, but the training should be complemented by exercises on an aeroplane, the record of the parameters of the flight must be available and an FI(A) or IRI(A) should conduct the instruction.

* Aviation.Bot's Suggestion - Always consult the original regulation for confirmation

This 10 hours module is focused on the basics of flying by sole reference to instruments, including limited panel and unusual attitude recovery.

* Aviation.Bot's Suggestion - Always consult the original regulation for confirmation

Exercise 6 involves radio navigation using VOR, NDB (or VDF if available), and interception of predetermined QDM, QDR.

* Aviation.Bot's Suggestion - Always consult the original regulation for confirmation

Exercise 9 focuses on the recognition of, and recovery from, incipient and full stalls.

* Aviation.Bot's Suggestion - Always consult the original regulation for confirmation

Exercise 3 covers the instrument pattern, including decelerating to approach speed, initiating a standard turn, rolling out on the opposite heading, descending 500 ft/min, transitioning to horizontal flight, and initiating a go-around.

* Aviation.Bot's Suggestion - Always consult the original regulation for confirmation

Exercise 1 includes basic instrument flying without external visual cues (0:30 hours), horizontal flight, power changes for acceleration or deceleration, maintaining straight and level flight, turns in level flight with 15 ° and 25 ° bank (left and right), and roll-out onto predetermined headings.

* Aviation.Bot's Suggestion - Always consult the original regulation for confirmation

(a)     This 10 hours module is focused on the basics of flying by sole reference to instruments, including limited panel and unusual attitude recovery.

(b)     All exercises may be performed in an FNPT I or II or an FFS, for a maximum of 5 hours. If instrument flight training is in VMC, a suitable means of simulating IMC for the student should be used.

(c)      A BITD may be used for the exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. 

(d)     The use of the BITD is subject to the following:

(1)     the training should be complemented by exercises on an aeroplane;

(2)     the record of the parameters of the flight must be available;
