ICAO SARPs

Annex 6, 9.4.4 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
– An operator shall ensure that piloting technique and the ability
to execute emergency procedures is checked to demonstrate
competency
– If under instrument flight rules the pilot’s competence to
comply with such rules is demonstrated
– Either a check pilot of the operator or to a representative of the
State of the Operator
– Performed twice within any period of one year..
ICAO Guidance

DOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
– when properly controlled by the CAA, the
designation of qualified operator personnel to assist
in some inspection functions, such as periodic pilot
proficiency checks, route checks, etc., can be
acceptable
– it must be stressed that the designated operator
personnel, when performing their duties, must be
kept under the supervisory and technical control of
the CAA.
ICAO Guidance

DOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
– Proficiency checks are carried out in accordance
with the standards and frequency prescribed in the
regulations
– The CAA inspector should possess the appropriate
licence and be currently qualified in the specific
type of aircraft to be used for the check
– Alternatively, the CAA inspector may choose to
observe or monitor such checks conducted by an
appropriately designated check pilot
ICAO Guidance

DOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency Checks
– The CAA inspector should observe or monitor a sufficient
number of checks conducted by such personnel each year in
order to ensure positive CAA quality control of check
procedures
– The pilot proficiency check should be conducted in such a
manner that the pilot demonstrates knowledge, skill and
judgment relative to:
– the aircraft, its systems and components;
– pilot performance in accordance with the procedures and
limitations contained in the manufacturer's AFM, AOM,
Operations Manual, etc.

POSITION REPORTS
During approaches at controlled airports

and give cleared altitude
If pilot cannot make an altitude restriction:
- Pilot actions:
• ask for instructions
• enter hold if no instructions
- Controller actions:
• protect
holding airspace

Primarily mandatory, not the only meaning,
used for both permissive and mandatory sense
May:
Speculation, uncertainty, permissive
Should:

Practical:
Available or useful in practice - inclined or suited
to action rather than speculation
Practicable:
Physically possible

New Altimeter Error Policy
"An aircraft altimeter which has the
current altimeter setting applied to the
subscale should not have an error of more
than ±50ft when compared on the ground
against a known aerodrome/runway elevation.
If the error is more than ±50 ft the accuracy of
the altimeter is questionable and the problem
should be investigated." (CAP.GEN)
Fly Runway Heading
When instructed to fly runway heading or
when flying a SID for which no specific
heading is published, pilots are expected to:
• Fly
runway heading
• Do not apply drift correction
• FMS fly track

Note: Values should be added to published altitudes
Altimeter Settings Requirements
Before commencing an IFR approach, set
current altimeter setting
Altimeter setting can be local or remote
Readings are considered current for up to 90
minutes
If pressure falling rapidly, may add value to
published DH/MDA
Correction factor to be applied for remote
altimeter source
*Temperature correction to be applied
in all cases
Visual Approach
VFR approach while
on IFR flight plan
Weather
- VFR (300m- 5km)
ATC may give radar vectors to gain operational
advantages
Weather - ceiling 200m above
min vector altitude - ground vis
at least 5 km
Condition: pilot shall be in visual contact with the airport
and/or traffic
Pilot is responsible for:
- Wake turbulence separation
- noise abatement
- Obstacle clearance
Cleared for an Approach
Cleared for an approach
Can fly any published inst. approach
Can descend to minimum IFR altitudes
Three route options:
- cleared route
- transition
- direct
Must advise ATC which route and approach
Straight-In Approach
No PT published straight-ins
ATC radar-vectored straight-ins
Can not do straight-in otherwise

Glidepath Fails During ILS
Advise ATC
Determine new minima
Change beacon X-ing alt
Time and descent rate to MDA
If in doubt, overshoot
Light Settings and RVR
RVR readouts compensate for the setting
of the runway edge lights. At setting 5 the
RVR will give the highest reading. This will
affect the RVR readout even if the runway
lights are off.
ATC should advise pilots when the runway
light intensity is at setting 4 or 5.
Missed Approach During Circling
Commence climb
Advise ATC
Turn toward airport (normally)
Fly published procedure
Use local knowledge and plate to
make a safe procedure

• Keep runway in sight
• Stay at MDA until normal landing assured
Landing Minima
Landings are governed by published DH/MDAs.
Pilots of aircraft on instrument approaches are
prohibited from continuing the descent below
DH or MDA, unless the required visual reference is
established and maintained in order to complete
a safe landing.
Visual References
At least one of the following:
a) The runway or runway markings;
b) The runway threshold or threshold markings;
c) The touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings;
d) The approach lights;
e) The approach slope indicator system;
f) The runway identification lights (rils);
g) The threshold and runway end lights;
h) The touchdown zone lights;
i) The runway edge lights; or
j) The runway centreline lights.
