FCL.APP6 AMC1
20th November 2021
Flight Module, who does not hold a CPL(As), shall be holder of a Course Completion
Certificate for the Basic Instrument Flight Module.
3. An applicant wishing to undertake the Procedural Instrument Flight Module of a
modular IR(As) course shall be required to complete all the instructional stages in
one continuous approved course of training. Prior to commencing the Procedural
Instrument Flight Module, the ATO shall ensure the competence of the applicant in
basic instrument flying skills. Refresher training shall be given as required.
4. The course of theoretical instruction shall be completed within 18 months. The
Procedural Instrument Flight Module and the skill test shall be completed within the
period of validity of the pass in theoretical examinations.
5. The course shall comprise:
(a) theoretical knowledge instruction to the IR knowledge level;
(b) instrument flight instruction.
THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE
6. An approved modular IR(As) course shall comprise at least 150 hours of theoretical
knowledge instruction.
FLYING TRAINING
7. An IR(As) course shall comprise at least 35 hours instrument time under instruction
of which up to 15 hours may be instrument ground time in an FNPT I, or up to 20
hours in an FFS or FNPT II. A maximum of 5 hours of FNPT II or FFS instrument
ground time may be conducted in an FNPT I.
8. The holder of a CPL(As) or of a Course Completion Certificate for the Basic
Instrument Flight Module may have the total amount of training required in paragraph
7 reduced by 10 hours. The total instrument flight instruction in airship shall comply
with paragraph 7.
9. If the applicant is the holder of an IR in another category of aircraft the total amount of
flight instruction required may be reduced to 10 hours on airships.
10. The flying exercises up to the IR(As) skill test shall comprise:
(a) Basic Instrument Flight Module:
Procedure and manoeuvre for basic instrument flight covering at least:
basic instrument flight without external visual cues:
- horizontal flight,
- climbing,
- descent,
- turns in level flight, climbing, descent; instrument pattern; radio
navigation; recovery from unusual attitudes; limited panel;
(b) Procedural Instrument Flight Module:
(i) pre-flight procedures for IFR flights, including the use of the flight manual
and appropriate air traffic services documents in the preparation of an
IFR flight plan;
(ii) procedure and manoeuvres for IFR operation under normal, abnormal
and emergency conditions covering at least:
- transition from visual to instrument flight on takeoff,
- standard instrument departures and arrivals,
- enroute IFR procedures,
- holding procedures,
- instrument approaches to specified minima,
- missed approach procedures,
- landings from instrument approaches, including circling;
(iii) inflight manoeuvres and particular flight characteristics;
(iv) operation of airship in the above exercises, including operation of the
airship solely by reference to instruments with one engine simulated
inoperative and engine shut-down and restart (the latter exercise to be
carried out at a safe altitude unless carried out in an FFS or FNPT II).

ALL MODULAR FLYING TRAINING COURSES FOR THE IR, EXCEPT COMPETENCY-BASED
MODULAR FLYING TRAINING COURSE
(a) The theoretical knowledge instruction may be given at an ATO conducting theoretical
knowledge instruction only, in which case the head of training (HT) of that organisation
should supervise that part of the course.
(b) The 150 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction, which include the application of threat
and error management (TEM), may include in suitable proportions:
(1) classroom work;
(2) lessons;
(3) tutorials;
(4) demonstrations, including those supported by demonstration equipment;
