Applicants for the revalidation or renewal of the airship type rating proficiency check shall pass Sections 1 to 5 and, if applicable Section 6.

(c)

The starred items (*) shall be flown solely by reference to instruments. If this condition is not met during the skill test or proficiency check, the type rating will be restricted to VFR only.

7. Where the letter ‘ M ’ appears in the skill test or proficiency check column, this will indicate a mandatory exercise. U.K.

8. FSTDs shall be used for practical training and testing if they form part of a type rating course. The following considerations will apply to the course: U.K.
