(3) Precision instrument approach to approved minima with, for multi engine aeroplanes,
one engine inoperative; and
(4) Non-precision approach to approved minima; and
(5) Missed approach from minima, flown by reference to instruments only and with (for
multi engine aeroplanes) one engine inoperative; and
(6) Landing with one engine inoperative (for multi engine aeroplanes); and
(7) For single engine aeroplanes a practice forced landing.
(8) In addition to the elements prescribed in subparagraphs (e)(1) to (7) above, every other
check shall include the mandatory items of the proficiency checks contained in OTAR
Part 61.
(f) Where an approved flight simulator is not available and an OPC must be completed on the
aircraft type, engine failures must be simulated and the conditions for simulating engine failure
specified in the training and competency assessment programmes.
(g) Where there is no requirement for pilots to operate under the Instrument Flight Rules, an
aeroplane OPC may be conducted without the elements listed at (e)(3) to (e)(5) above, but a
visual approach and go-around must still be conducted and for a multi-engined aeroplane that
element shall be flown with one engine inoperative.
(h) The OPC for pilots of helicopters who are required to conduct IFR operations shall include the
following elements (unless such manoeuvres are not required by virtue of the helicopter type):
(1) precision approach to approved minima with simulated failure of one engine (for multi-
engine helicopters); and
(2) Go-around from minima, flown by reference to instruments, and in the case of multi-
engined helicopters with the simulated failure of one engine; and
(3) Non precision approach to approved minima; and
(4) Landing with a simulated failure of one or more engines; and
(5) Where appropriate, approach with flight control system/flight director system
malfunctions, and other flight instrument and navigation equipment failures.
(i) The OPC for helicopter pilots shall include the following checks of abnormal and emergency
procedures over a three year period, except where inappropriate by virtue of the helicopter type:
(1) Engine fire;
(2) Fuselage fire;
(3) Emergency operation of undercarriage;
(4) Fuel dumping;
(5) Engine failure and restart;
(6) Hydraulic failure;
(7) Electrical failure;
(8) Engine failure during take off, before decision point;
(9) Engine failure after take off, before decision point;
(10) Engine failure during landing, before decision point;
(11) Engine failure during landing, after decision point;
(12) Flight and engine control system malfunctions;
(13) Recovery from unusual attitudes;
(14) Landing with one or more engines inoperative;
(15) IMC auto-rotative techniques;
(16) Autorotation to a designated area;
(17) Pilot incapacitation; and
(18) Directional control malfunctions.
(j) A helicopter pilot who requires to operate at night under visual meteorological conditions, but who
does not hold a current instrument rating, shall be required to hold a current OPC that has been
conducted at night.
OTAR.135.1120 Operator line check
(a) The operator line check (OLC) shall be valid for a period of twelve calendar months in addition to
the remainder of the month of issue; if the OLC is conducted within the final 3 calendar months
of the previous OLC with the same operator, the OLC shall be valid from the date of issue until
12 calendar months from the expiry of the previous OLC.
(b) The OLC shall ensure that each flight crew member demonstrates competence in carrying out
normal line operations as specified in the operations manual.
(c) The OLC for each flight crew member shall be conducted on the aircraft, as part of a normal
flight crew complement. The line check shall include pre-flight and post flight procedures and use
of any equipment provided on the aircraft.
OTAR.135.1125 Safety and emergency equipment checks
(a) The safety and emergency equipment and procedures check (SEPC) shall be valid for a period
of twelve calendar months in addition to the remainder of the month of issue; if the SEPC is
