accuracy.

What are the privileges and the limitations of holding an instrument rating?
- A current Instrument Rating authorises the holder to act as pilot in command or co-pilot of an aircraft operating under IFR.
- To exercise the privileges of an instrument rating:
- For a single pilot aircraft, the holder must have successfully demonstrated to the director (by undertaking a flight test in an appropriate aircraft or in an approved synthetic flight trainer), the ability to perform procedures, manoeuvers, and operations that are applicable to the navigation systems to the single pilot standard; and
- The holder must, in the case of a non-centreline-thrust multi-engine aeroplane, have passed the flight test required in the above paragraph on a non-centreline-thrust multi-engine aeroplane; and
- If the holder is carrying out an IAP under IFR, a flight examiner must certify in the holder’s logbook that the holder has satisfactorily demonstrated competency on that approach aid or system; and
- If the holder holds a class 2 medical certificate, the holder must meet the class 1 hearing standards prescribed in Part 67 and this must be endorsed on their class 2 medical certificate.
Describe the competency requirements for the holder of an instrument rating?
- The holder of an instrument rating must not exercise the privileges of the rating unless the holder has:
- Within the immediately preceding 12 months:
- Successfully demonstrated to a flight examiner competency in the rules related to the eligibility of an instrument rating for the appropriate category of aircraft; and
- The person who conducts the competency demonstration certifies the successful completion of the check in the pilot’s logbook; and
- Within the immediately preceding 3 months:
- Either met the above requirements or completed at least 3 hours instrument time (which must include at least 1-hour instrument flight time); and
- Carried out at least 3 published instrument approach procedures (1 of which may be performed in an approved synthetic flight trainer).
- If acting as a pilot of an non-centreline thrust multi-engine aircraft under IFR, must demonstrate the competency required for the eligibility of an instrument rating in a non-centreline thrust multi-engine aircraft; and
- If performing an instrument approach procedure under IFR, within the immediately preceding 3 months, must have performed a published instrument approach procedure using a similar type of navigation system, in flight or in an approved synthetic flight trainer; or
- If conducting an IFR operation under the authority of an air operator certificate issued in accordance with part 119, it must satisfy the IFR competency requirements in Part 121, 125, 135 or as appropriate.
- The holder of an instrument rating who does not comply with the currency requirements within 3 months may act as a support pilot of an aircraft on an IFR flight if the aircraft is not performing an air operation.
- A pilot who successfully completes the demonstration required within 12 months, within 60 days before the date on which it is required, is deemed to have completed the demonstration on the required date.
What are the eligibility requirements for an ATPL license?
