PROCEDURES Index
- NOTE: TASKS B through F are not required if the
applicant holds a private pilot or commercial pilot certificate and is seeking a type
rating limited to VFR. If TASK D, Nonprecision Instrument Approach Procedures, is
performed in a training device (other than an FTD or flight simulator) and the applicant
has completed an approved training course for the airplane type involved, not more than
one (1) of the required instrument procedures may be observed by a person qualified to act
as an instructor or check airman under that approved training program. The instrument
approaches are considered to begin when the airplane is over the initial approach fix for
the procedure being used and end when the airplane touches down on the runway or when
transition to a missed approach configuration is completed. Instrument conditions need NOT
be simulated below the minimum altitude for the approach being accomplished.
