Annex 6, 9.4.4 - Pilot Proficiency ChecksAnnex 6, 9.4.4 - Pilot Proficiency Checks– An operator shall ensure that piloting technique and the ability

to execute emergency procedures is checked to demonstrate competency

– If under instrument flight rules the pilot’s competence to comply with such rules is demonstrated

– Either a check pilot of the operator or to a representative of the State of the Operator

– Performed twice within any period of one year..

ICAO GuidanceICAO Guidance DOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency ChecksDOC 8335 - Pilot Proficiency Checks

– when properly controlled by the CAA, the designation of qualified operator personnel to assist in some inspection functions, such as periodic pilot proficiency checks, route checks, etc., can be acceptable

– it must be stressed that the designated operator personnel, when performing their duties, must be kept under the supervisory and technical control of the CAA.


– Proficiency checks are carried out in accordance with the standards and frequency prescribed in the regulations

– The CAA inspector should possess the appropriate licence and be currently qualified in the specific type of aircraft to be used for the check

– Alternatively, the CAA inspector may choose to observe or monitor such checks conducted by an appropriately designated check pilot


– The CAA inspector should observe or monitor a sufficient number of checks conducted by such personnel each year in order to ensure positive CAA quality control of check procedures

– The pilot proficiency check should be conducted in such a manner that the pilot demonstrates knowledge, skill and judgment relative to:

– the aircraft, its systems and components;

– pilot performance in accordance with the procedures and limitations contained in the manufacturer's AFM, AOM, Operations Manual, etc.

New Altimeter Error PolicyNew Altimeter Error Policy

"An aircraft altimeter which has thecurrent altimeter setting applied to thesubscale should not have an error of morethan ±50ft when compared on the groundagainst a known aerodrome/runway elevation.If the error is more than ±50 ft the accuracy ofthe altimeter is questionable and the problemshould be investigated."

Light Settings and RVRLight Settings and RVR

RVR readouts compensate for the settingof the runway edge lights. At setting 5 theRVR will give the highest reading. This willaffect the RVR readout even if the runwaylights are off.

ATC should advise pilots when the runwaylight intensity is at setting 4 or 5.
