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).

(2) lessons;
(3) tutorials;
(4) demonstrations, including those supported by demonstration equipment;
(5) exercises carried out as groups or individuals and based on pre-flight and en-route
planning, communications, presentations and projects;
(6) exercises that use demonstration equipment or training devices;
(7) directed study including workbook exercises or assignments;
(8) aerodrome or aviation industry field trips;
(9) computer-based training and e-learning elements;
(10) progress tests; and
(11) other training methods, media and tools approved by the competent authority.

SECTION A IR(A) - MODULAR FLYING TRAINING COURSE
Basic Instrument Flight Module Training Course
(a) This 10 hours module is focused on the basics of flying by sole reference to instruments,
including limited panel and unusual attitude recovery.
(b) All exercises may be performed in an FNPT I or II or an FFS, for a maximum of 5 hours. If
instrument flight training is in VMC, a suitable means of simulating IMC for the student
should be used.
(c) A BITD may be used for the exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
(d) The use of the BITD is subject to the following:
