(ii) Exercise 2: Explain and demonstrate the use of radio navigation aids
when flying by sole reference to instruments, to include position
finding and tracking*.
(iii) Exercise 3: Explain and demonstrate the use of radar assistance*.
(iv) Exercise 4:
(A) explain and demonstrate the use and adjustment of landing
light;
(B) explain and demonstrate night hovering:

b) avoidance of unintended sideways or backwards
movements.
(C) explain and demonstrate night take-off techniques;

(E) explain and demonstrate night approaches (constant angle)
with or without visual approach aids to:
a) heliports;
b) illuminated touchdown areas.
(F) practise take-off's, circuits and approaches;
(G) explain and demonstrate night emergency procedures to
include:
a) simulated engine failure (to be terminated with power
recovery at a safe altitude);
b) simulated engine failure, including SE approach and
landing (ME only);
c) simulated inadvertent entry to IMC (not on base leg or
final);
d) simulated hydraulic control failure (to include landing);
e) internal and external lighting failure;
f) other malfunctions and emergency procedures as
required by the aircraft flight manual.
(v) Exercise 5: Solo night circuits.
(vi) Exercise 6:
(A) explain and demonstrate night cross-country techniques;

SPIC or supervised solo to a satisfactory standard.
FCL.815 Mountain rating
(a) Privileges. The privileges of the holder of a mountain rating are to conduct flights
with aeroplanes or TMGs to and from surfaces which are designated to require
such a rating by the CAA.
Holders of an LAPL or a PPL with privileges to fly aeroplanes or TMGs may obtain
the initial mountain rating either on:
(1) wheels, to grant the privilege to fly to and from such surfaces when they
are not covered by snow; or
(2) skis, to grant the privilege to fly to and from such surfaces when they are
covered by snow.
(3) The privileges of the initial rating may be extended to either wheel or ski
privileges when the pilot has undertaken an appropriate additional
familiarisation course, including theoretical knowledge instruction and flight
training, with a mountain flight instructor.
(b) Training course. Applicants for a mountain rating shall have completed, within a
period of 24 months, a course of theoretical knowledge instruction and flight
training at a DTO or at an ATO. The content of the course shall be appropriate to
the privileges of the mountain rating applied for.
(c) Skill test. After the completion of the training, the applicant shall pass a skill test
with an FE qualified for this purpose. The skill test shall contain:
(1) a verbal examination of theoretical knowledge;
(2) 6 landings on at least 2 different surfaces designated as requiring a
mountain rating other than the surface of departure.
(d) Validity. A mountain rating shall be valid for a period of 24 months.
(e) Revalidation.
To revalidate a mountain rating applicants shall either:
(1) complete at least six landings, on a surface designated as requiring a
mountain rating, in the preceding two 2 years;
(2) pass a proficiency check complying with the requirements in point (c).
(f) Renewal. If the rating has lapsed, the applicant shall comply with the requirement
in (e)(2).
