Differences between IFR (PVT/AWK) and (Charter)

+pressurized turbine engine in any CTA
and the equipment must
+Include assigned altitude indicator
+alert crew if acft approach assigned altitude
+alert crew if acft deviates from pre selected altitude
GPWS requirement

- Don’t need - Non pressurized <5700kg
- Must have - Air Transport Operation (RPT or Charter) with 2 crew
During the pre-flight of your aircraft for a flight under the IFR, you notice the pitot heat is not working.
The weather is fine, no visible clouds or moisture and the forecast is for a near perfect clear sky evening.
Are you able to depart IFR?
No
During your pre-flight inspection for an IFR flight you notice the heater for the aircraft cabin is unserviceable
on the aircraft maintenance release.
You test the heater, and it appears to be operational and working fine. Can you depart on your IFR flight?
No
Climate Control in the cabin is legally
required for flight at temperatures
above the freezing level.
The assigned altitude indicator is unserviceable in your IFR aircraft.
Can you still depart IFR?
Yes, so long as you ensure you remain
outside of Controlled Airspace.
It is day, clear skies and fine conditions.
Are you required to check the serviceability of the landing light(s) during your pre-flight inspection for an IFR flight?
Yes, you must check the landing light(s), and at least 1 light must be serviceable to depart IFR.
Your IFR aircraft is fitted with a serviceable autopilot system. You complete your pre-flight, and engine run-up process but forget to test the system on the ground.
Assuming your autopilot has the ability to be tested on the ground, and you neglected to test it – are you able to utilise the autopilot during your IFR flight?
No
Your IFR aircraft is fitted
with a serviceable hand mike
and built-in speakers, which
are working perfectly.
During your taxi, in your RPT
flight, you notice your
microphone on your pilot’s
headset is not working and
the cable has been damaged.
No other headsets are
available.
Can you still depart and use
the handheld mike and
speakers on your IFR flight?
No
