5. Single-pilot aeroplanes, except for high performance complex aeroplanes: U.K.

(a)

The following symbols mean:

P

=

Trained as PIC or Co-pilot and as Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying (PNF)

X

=

Flight simulators shall be used for this exercise, if available, otherwise an aeroplane shall be used if appropriate for the manoeuvre or procedure

P#

=

The training shall be complemented by supervised aeroplane inspection

(b)

The practical training shall be conducted at least at the training equipment level shown as (P), or may be conducted on any higher level of equipment shown by the arrow (—>)

The following abbreviations are used to indicate the training equipment used:

A

=

Aeroplane

FFS

=

Full Flight Simulator

FTD

=

Flight Training Device (including FNPT II for ME class rating)

(c)

The starred (*) items of section 3B and, for multi-engine, section 6, shall be flown solely by reference to instruments if revalidation/renewal of an IR is included in the skill test or proficiency check. If the starred (*) items are not flown solely by reference to instruments during the skill test or proficiency check, and when there is no crediting of IR privileges, the class or type rating will be restricted to VFR only.

(d)

Section 3A shall be completed to revalidate a type or multi-engine class rating, VFR only, where the required experience of 10 route sectors within the previous 12 months has not been completed. Section 3A is not required if section 3B is completed.

(e)

Where the letter ‘M’ appears in the skill test or proficiency check column this will indicate the mandatory exercise or a choice where more than one exercise appears.

(f)

An FFS or an FNPT II shall be used for practical training for type or multi-engine class ratings if they form part of an approved class or type rating course. The following considerations will apply to the approval of the course:

(i)

[F1 the qualification of the FFS or FNPT II as set out in the relevant requirements of Part-ARA and Part-ORA;]

(ii)

the qualifications of the instructors;

(iii)

the amount of FFS or FNPT II training provided on the course; and

(iv)

the qualifications and previous experience on similar types of the pilot under training.

(g)

When a skill test or proficiency check is performed in multi-pilot operations, the type rating shall be restricted to multi-pilot operations.
