Pass criteria ✅ of IR skill test
All those pass criteria are applicable for pilots applying for EASA instrument rating using:
- conventional modular way
- competency based training concept
The Exam candidate shal during instrument rating demonstrate the ability to:
- operate the aircraft within its limitations;
- complete all manoeuvres with smoothness and accuracy;
- exercise good judgment and airmanship; apply aeronautical knowledge; and
- maintain control of the aircraft at all times in such a manner that the successful outcome of a procedure or manoeuvre is never seriously in doubt.
The following limits shall apply, corrected to make allowance for turbulent conditions and the handling qualities and performance of the aircraft used:
Height tolerances during IFR skill test
|
Generally |
±100 feet |
|
Starting a go-around at decision height/altitude |
+50 feet/–0 feet |
|
Minimum descent height/MAP/altitude |
+50 feet/–0 feet |
Tracking tolerances during IFR skill test
|
On radio aids |
±5° |
|
For angular deviations |
Half scale deflection, azimuth and glide path (e.g. LPV, ILS, MLS, GLS) |
|
2D (LNAV) and 3D (LNAV/VNAV) “linear” lateral deviations |
cross-track error/deviation shall normally be limited to ± ½ the RNP value associated with the procedure. Brief deviations from this standard up to a maximum of 1 time the RNP value are allowable. |
|
3D linear vertical deviations (e.g. RNP APCH (LNAV/VNAV) using BaroVNAV) |
not more than – 75 feet below the vertical profile at any time, and not more than + 75 feet above the vertical profile at or below 1 000 feet above aerodrome level. |
Heading tolerances during IFR skill test
|
all engines operating |
±5° |
|
with simulated engine failure |
±10° |
Speed tolerances during IR-ME skill test
|
all engines operating |
±5 knots |
|
with simulated engine failure |
+10 knots/–5 knots |
