Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Perform steep turns
   • Power, attitude and bank are set to maintain level flight by reference to full instrument panel that achieves a steep turn
   • Nominated angle of bank is maintained
   • Aircraft turn is exited onto nominated heading
   • Aircraft is balanced and trimmed to maintain nominated aircraft altitude, heading, speed and/or climb/descent performance within flight tolerances
2. Establish serviceability of flight instruments and instrument power sources
   • Serviceability of flight instrument, pitot/static system and instrument power sources is determined before flight
3. Functional checks of flight and navigational instruments are performed before departure
4. Operate aircraft using full instrument procedures
   • Flight instrument and instrument power sources are monitored and pilot cautions, warnings and indications reacted to in accordance with full instrument procedures
5. Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve straight and level performance during normal cruise
6. Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve nominated climb performance
7. Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve nominated descent performance
8. Power, attitude and bank during climb, descent and straight and level flight are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve rate one turns onto a nominated heading
9. Aircraft is balanced and trimmed to maintain nominated aircraft altitude, heading, speed and/or climb/descent performance within flight tolerances
10. Aircraft is levelled at nominated altitude, from climb or descent during straight or turning flight
11. Recover from unusual attitudes using full instrument procedures
    • Unusual attitudes and upset situations are recognised and identified
12. Controlled flight is resumed by reference to flight instruments using a full instrument panel
13. Straight and level attitude is achieved without excessive oscillations at the horizon
14. Aircraft is recovered to above lowest safe altitude (LSALT)
15. Operate aircraft using limited instrument procedures
    • Flight instrument and instrument power sources are monitored and pilot cautions, warnings and indications reacted to in accordance with limited instrument procedures
16. Aircraft is transitioned from full instrument operating procedures to limited instrument operating procedures while maintaining safe flight profiles
17. Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve straight and level performance during normal cruise
18. Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve nominated climb performance
19. Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve nominated descent performance
20. Power, attitude and bank during climb, descent, straight and level flight are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve rate one turns onto a nominated heading
21. Recover from unusual attitudes using limited instrument procedures
    • Unusual attitudes and upset situations are recognised and identified
22. Controlled flight is resumed by reference to flight instruments using a limited instrument panel
23. Aircraft is recovered to above LSALT
24. Re-establish visual flight
    • Aircraft is transitioned from visual flight conditions to instrument flight conditions while aircraft control is maintained
25. Aircraft is manoeuvred to re-establish visual flight
26. Plan is implemented to ensure flight continues within visual meteorological conditions (VMC)
    • Power, attitude and bank are set to maintain level flight by reference to full instrument panel that achieves a steep turn
27. Nominated angle of bank is maintained
28. Aircraft turn is exited onto nominated heading

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
