Instrument Proficiency Check
If you have not kept up with your 6 HITS, an Instrument Proficiency Check gets you current again through required ACS instrument tasks.
When You Need an IPC
If you have not kept up with your 6 HITS, you will need to satisfactorily complete an Instrument Proficiency Check.
Unlike a Flight Review, there is no minimum ground or flight time requirement. However, required tasks must be completed per the Instrument Rating ACS.
A good rule of thumb is to expect around 1-2 hours for ground review and around an hour of flight time to complete the required flight tasks.
AATD and Airplane Requirements
A portion of the IPC can be accomplished in an AATD. The circle-to-land and landing tasks must be completed in the actual airplane.
Required Flight Tasks
The flight portion of the IPC is built around required Instrument Rating ACS tasks.
- Holding procedures.
- Unusual attitudes.
- Intercepting and tracking navigation sources, including VOR, ILS, and GPS.
- Precision approach, non-precision approach, missed approach, and circle-to-land approach.
- Emergency procedures, including partial panel for ASEL.
