ED Decision 2014/022/R

SECTION A IR(A) - MODULAR FLYING TRAINING COURSE

Basic Instrument Flight Module Training Course

(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;

(3)     an FI(A) or IRI(A) should conduct the instruction.

EXERCISES

(e)     Exercise 1:

(1)     basic instrument flying without external visual cues;        0:30 hours

(2)     horizontal flight; power changes for acceleration or deceleration;

(3)     maintaining straight and level flight;

(4)     turns in level flight with 15 ° and 25 ° bank, left and right; 

(5)     roll-out onto predetermined headings.  

(f)      Exercise 2:

(1)     repetition of exercise 1;                              0:45 hours

(2)     additionally climbing, descending, maintaining heading and speed, transition to horizontal flight;

(3)     climbing and descending turns. 

(g)     Exercise 3:

Instrument pattern:                                              0:45 hours

(1)     start exercise, decelerate to approach speed, flaps into   approach configuration;  

(2)     initiate standard turn (left or right);

(3)     roll out on opposite heading, maintain new heading for 1 minute

(4)     standard turn, gear down, descend 500 ft/min;

(5)     roll out on initial heading, maintain descent (500 ft/min) and new heading for 1 minute;

(6)     transition to horizontal flight, 1000 ft below initial flight level;

(7)     initiate go-around; 

(8)     climb at best rate of climb speed.

(j)      Exercise 6:

(1)     radio navigation using VOR, NDB                  0:45 hours

or, if available, VDF;

(2)     interception of predetermined QDM, QDR. 

(k)     Exercise 7: 

Repetition of exercise 1 and                                   0:45hours

recovery from unusual attitudes.

(l)      Exercise 8:

(1)     Repetition of exercise 1;                              0:45 hours

(2)     turns, level change and recovery from unusual attitudes with simulated failure of the artificial horizon or directional gyro.

(m)    Exercise 9:

Recognition of, and recovery from,                        0:45 hours 

incipient and full stalls.

(n)     Exercise 10: Repetition of exercises 6, 8                 3:30 hours  and 9.
