-Not less than 10 hours dual instrument flight instruction.
-Not more than 20 hours can be accumulated in an synthetic flight trainer.
/.Can you fly multi engine IFR - Answer-✅The IFR flight test must be carried out in this
aircraft.
/.What instrument approach can you conduct - Answer-✅That specific instrument
procedure must be signed with a competency certificate in the logbook for that specific
approach.
/.How often must you demonstrate to a flight examiner competency - Answer-✅every
12 months with a 60 day grace
/.When will you be uncurrent? - Answer-✅- Immediately preceding 3 months if not less
than 3 hours instrument time with not less than 1 hour instrument flight time in
appropriate aircraft category.
- Preformed 3 published instrument approach procedures, one of which can be done in
a sim.
- Prior to conducting a landing IFR have completed one of the appropriate landing types
either in air or in the sim using a similar type navigation system.
, /.What must you do if you become uncurrent? - Answer-✅Must conduct a competency
flight with an examiner.
/.Aircraft requirements for IFR - Answer-✅- Aircraft is approved for IFR.
- Fully functioning dual controls.
- Current instrument rating for the appropriate category, or the co-pilot has a current

or when within 20nm of MT Cook.
/.Can we cruise in the transition layer. - Answer-✅In an emergency ATC can offer to
give you 14,000' in controlled airspace (ATC will advise altimeter setting). This is not
allowed in uncontrolled airspace.
/.If you are uncontrolled and taking off with no known QNH what altimeter setting should
you set - Answer-✅Set aerodrome elevation, but you cannot enter IMC until have
obtained a reliable source from ATC.
/.Whenever an aerodrome has no reliable QNH for an arrival you should use - Answer-
✅Remote QNH (for every 1nm past 5nm from QNH source add 5' to MDA), unless it is
stated in AIP that for that aerodrome to use local QNH.
/.When must you notify ATC that you have fu*ked up. - Answer-✅- Deviation from track.
- A variation of 5% or more TAS.
- An updated ETA if the ETA advised to ATS is found to be in error by more than 2
minuets.
