OTAR.61.455 Privileges and limitations

(a) Subject to paragraph 61.455(b), a current instrument rating authorises the holder to act as a
pilot-in-command or co-pilot of aeroplanes under IFR.
(b) To exercise the privileges of an instrument rating, the holder shall:
(1) if in a single-engine aeroplane, have passed the appropriate instrument flight test to
single-engine standard; and
(2) if in a non-centreline-thrust multi-engined aeroplane, have passed the appropriate
instrument flight test on a non-centreline-thrust multi-engined aeroplane.
OTAR.61.457 Recency requirements
(a) The holder of an instrument rating shall not exercise the privileges of the rating unless, except as

(1) within the immediately preceding 12 months, has successfully demonstrated to a flight
examiner competency in accordance with paragraph 61.453(a)(5) for the appropriate
category of aircraft, and a record to that effect has been entered in the holder's log
book. A person who completes the demonstration within the calendar month before or
after the date on which it is required, is deemed to have completed the demonstration
on the required date; and
(2) within the immediately preceding 3 months, has either met the requirements of
paragraph 61.457(a)(1), or completed not less than 6 hours instrument time, of which
at least 2 hours were instrument flight time, or instrument time in a zero flight time
simulator, in the appropriate category of aircraft; and
(3) if pilot of a single-pilot aircraft under IFR without an auto-pilot or co-pilot, has
demonstrated and recorded competency as specified in paragraph 61.457(a)(1) as a
single-pilot without the use of an auto-pilot; and

recorded competency as specified in paragraph 61.457(a)(1) as a single-pilot with the
use of an auto-pilot; and
(5) if pilot of a non-centreline-thrust multi-engine aircraft under IFR, has demonstrated and
recorded competency as specified in paragraph 61.457(a)(1) in non-centreline-thrust
multi-engine aircraft; and
(6) if carrying out an instrument approach procedure under IFR has, within the immediately
preceding 3 months, performed in flight or in an approved flight procedure trainer or
approved synthetic flight trainer, an authorised instrument approach procedure using a
similar type of navigation system.
(b) The pilot is conducting an IFR operation in accordance with Part 121 and under the authority of
an air operator certificate issued under Part 119 where the holder of the Part 119 certificate
satisfies the Governor that its pilots have an equivalent level of instrument rating competency and
the pilot only conducts the IFR operation in an aircraft operated under the authority of the holder's
certificate.
(c) The holder of an instrument rating who does not comply with paragraph 61.457(a)(2) may be co-
pilot of an aircraft on an IFR flight if the aircraft is not performing an air transport operation.
