INSTRUMENT PROFICIENCY CHECK

INSTRUMENT PROFICIENCY CHECK

An Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) meets the recency requirements for the holder of an instrument rating. A pilot must have completed an IPC (or equivalent) in the previous 2 years prior to exercising the privileges of an instrument rating.

Preparatory training prior to an IPC must be conducted by a flight instructor qualified in accordance to Standard 425.21(9) of the CAR’s that is not the examiner that will conduct the IPC. The IPC must be conducted by a Transport Canada authorized examiner.

Centennial’s Redbird FMX simulator is Transport Canada certified for IPC renewals. The multi engine configuration is based on a Seneca 1 and well equipped with a Garmin 530/430 GPS, HSI and an autopilot for coupled approaches. The course includes 3 simulator sessions including a mock IPC and pre/post ground instruction.

This course will review IFR procedures including SID’s, STAR’s, RNAV and ILS approaches, and emergency procedures including engine failures with single engine approaches.

This course assumes a recently lapsed instrument rating. Additional simulator and/or ground time may be required to reach proficiency depending on how long a pilot has been expired. Self-study and review will be required prior to each session.
