13. 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..

14. 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.

15. 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

16. 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.

31. Professional Update FMS-FACF -Approaches Approach Changes GPS-Operations -Requirements -Testing -Approaches -Differential GPS RNAV-Direct Routes -Certification -Approaches

32. GPS Operations Short Term - Non-Precision approaches - Domestic enroute/terminal - Oceanic Long Term - CAT I approaches - Possibly CAT II and III IFR Approval - US and Canada concurrently

33. GPS Requirements With RAIM: - use GPS for "overlay" and "standalone" - conventional navaids must work at alternate - MNPS requirements - 1 GPS and 1 other RNAV system - need a TSO C129 receiver - no need to monitor navaids Without Raim: - must monitor navaids - not approved for IFR RAIM: - Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring

34. GPS OVERLAY APPROACHES approach to use published name (NDB 24) approach must be in database no monitoring required (with RAIM) NAVAIDS and a/c receivers operating requested and approved as GPS approach (GPS 24) RAIM must be available ground-based navaids at destination can be inoperative but navaids at alternate operative GPS STANDALONE APPROACHES

35. Differential GPS Wide area Local Integrity and availibity Accuracy

36. Professional Update Designated Check Pilot Course NAVIGATION WEATHER AIRSPACE RNAV Direct Routes

37. RNAV Direct Routes Presently 3 types of route are available: 1) Random direct FL 390 and above 2) City pair T-routes FL 310 and above 3) *MMT routes FL 350 - FL 390 Random routes to be available in future * MMT-Minimum Time Track

38. RNAV Approaches Multi-Sensor RNAV RWY 08 YTZ Certification of receivers a problem All approaches could be RNAV Type of sensor - determine limits All info must be in database * *and operator certified for use

39. FMS FACF FINAL APPROACH COURSE FIX Required by FMS databases On final about 8 NM from threshold Prior to vnav/FAF ICAO 5-letter pronounceable name For all ILS and LOC approaches

40. FMS Approaches • Database : Jeppesen • Types of FMS Approaches: GPS RNAV VOR,VOR/DME NDB,NDB/DME LOC/BC LOC ILS with advanced EFIS

41. Approach Changes NAME CHANGES soon to be RNAV and then MDA will be based on the type of sensor POSITION REPORTS During approaches at controlled airports - Make requested reports only - Report position only - Expect report at FAF

42. Approach Changes Pass altitude on departure - Initial call add passing altitude 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

47. 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)

48. 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
