IFR Currency (6/6/6)

As per the Canadian Aviation Regulations with regard to IFR flying, all pilots who wish to fly IFR must at the very least stay current using the 6/6/6 rule: each pilot must complete six hours of IFR flying, including six IFR approaches, in the proceeding six months before the IFR flight. Cargair offers you the possibility to complete the six hours in a level 5 FTD, either in the BE20 (turbine) or BE55 (light twin) configuration. The program allows you to review the basic IFR procedures as well as advanced IFR procedures. If you wish, it is also possible to complete the review using GPS navigation and RNAV approaches (see GPS course). This training must be completed with an instructor or a pilot with more than 500 hours PIC on the same group of aircraft and at least 10 hours multi-engine. (see CARs 425.21(9)).
