What is the validity of an IPC?

A

An instrument proficiency check is valid:
* From the period the holder passes the flight test to the end of the 12th month after the month in which the holder passes the flight test.
or
* For the period during which the holder is successfully participating in an operator’s training and checking system for an IFR operation in the relevant aircraft.

Cloud - > SCT below alternate Minima Vis - < Alternate minima Vis - > alternate minima BUTprob 30of fog etc Wind - > crosswind or tailwind component
40
Alternate requirements when aerodrom forecast is not available

46
Lighting Systems for Alternate Aerodrome
An aerodrome served by PAL may be nominated as an alternate aerodrome. There is no requirement for a responsible person to be in attendance, but the aircraft must be equipped with: a. **dual VHF**; or b. **single VHF and HF** and carries **30 minutes** holding fuel to allow for the alerting of ground staff in the event of a failure of the aircraft’s VHF communication.

# VMC, Day Obstacle, Night MDA Circling Approaches and Visual Circling
1. **Visibility** along flight not less than specified for circling 2. **Maintain** visual contact with landing environment (i.e., the runway threshold or approach lighting or other markings identifiable with the runway); 3. Inside **circling** area 4. By **day** not below **obstacle** clearance 5. By **night** not below **MDA** until downwind, base or final

Restrictions on Visual Circling
Visual circling is prohibited in ‘no circling’ sectors by day in less than VMC and at night. After initial visual contact, the basic assumption is that the runway environment will be kept in sight while at the MDA for circling
