Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 of 3 November 2011 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance)

[F1FLIGHT TEST TOLERANCE U.K.
3. Applicants shall demonstrate the ability to: U.K.
(a)

operate the aeroplane within its limitations;

(b)

complete all manoeuvres with smoothness and accuracy;

(c)

exercise good judgement and airmanship;

(d)

apply aeronautical knowledge;

(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;

(f)

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

(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: U.K.

  • 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 ± 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]
