B.Specific requirements for the aeroplane category

FLIGHT TEST TOLERANCE

3.

Applicants shall demonstrate the ability to:

  1. (a)

    operate the aeroplane within its limitations;

  2. (b)

    complete all manoeuvres with smoothness and accuracy;

  3. (c)

    exercise good judgement and airmanship;

  4. (d)

    apply aeronautical knowledge;

  5. (e)

    maintain control of the aeroplane at all times in such a manner that the successful outcome of a procedure or manoeuvre is never in doubt;

  6. (f)

    understand and apply crew coordination and incapacitation procedures, if applicable; and

  7. (g)

    communicate effectively with the other crew members, if applicable.

4.

The following limits shall apply, corrected to make allowance for turbulent conditions and the handling qualities and performance of the aeroplane used:

  • Height

    Generally

    ± 100 ft

    Starting a go-around at decision height/altitude

    + 50 ft/– 0 ft

    Minimum descent height/MAPt/altitude

    + 50 ft/– 0 ft

  • Tracking

    On radio aids

    ± 5°

    For ‘angular’ deviations

    Half-scale deflection, azimuth and glide path (e.g. LPV, ILS, MLS, GLS)

    2D (LNAV) and 3D (LNAV/VNAV) ‘linear’ lateral deviations

    cross-track error/deviation shall normally be limited to ± 12math of the RNP value associated with the procedure. Brief deviations from this standard up to a maximum of one time the RNP value are allowable.

    3D linear vertical deviations (e.g. RNP APCH (LNAV/VNAV) using BaroVNAV)

    not more than – 75 ft below the vertical profile at any time, and not more than + 75 ft above the vertical profile at or below 1 000 ft above aerodrome level.

  • Heading

    all engines operating

    ± 5°

    with simulated engine failure

    ± 10°

  • Speed

    all engines operating

    ± 5 knots

    with simulated engine failure

    + 10 knots/– 5 knots
