The target of the IR module training is to teach the pilot to the level required for IFT flights and flights for IMC, in accordance to the rule L 8168 (ICAO PANS-OPS Document 8168) and to prepare the graduate for successful examination from the IR theory.
The entry requirements
The student must be a holder of valid PPL(A) or CPL(A) qualification with the typical or class qualification for airplane, on which the training will be provided, and the VFR-night qualification. The holders of the PPL(A) qualification license should have had the ATLP(A) theoretical preparation undertaken.
Before the commencement of the training, the pilot must have proven track of record of minimum 50 hours of navigation legs as PIC, out of which minimum 10 hours must be on the airplanes according to the class or type, on which the training is being done.
The flight training IR(A) must comprise of minimum 50 hours of "dual" instrument flying out of which 20 hours could be the simulator instrument time on FNTP I or 35 hours on FNTP II or FS.
Based on the decision of the flight training organization, the time frame of flight training for the CPL (A) holder can be shortened by 5 hours.
The instrument flight training must contain:
- methods during preparations and planning the IFR flights, including the usage of the data from the flight manual and concerned documents ATS for planning the IFR flights
- Standard, abnormal and emergency methods and maneuvers during the IFR flights, including
- switching to IFR flight after the take-off
- standard instrument departures and inbound flights
- IFR flights and related procedures
- holding procedures
- instrument approaches up to MDA(H), DA(H)
- missed approaches trainings
- landing from instrument approach including the pattern approach
- flight maneuvers and individual flight characteristics
