Steep Approach Certification EGLC

[cubby]

:hmm: Hi All

Would like to find out how to go about gaining steep approach certification for a Cessna 310.
Does anyone know who to speak to at the CAA, or what department?
Does the manufacture have to be involved?
What is the cost of such an undertaking?
etc,etc.

I have looked at EGLC web site and spoken to their operations department, but would like more information.

Regards

Is this the LCY website you looked at??

LCACC website (aircraft specs) (http://www.lcacc.org/aircraft/index.html)

I am amazed that the Seneca is on the list, as it cannot possibly meet the engine-out requirements, but as it is, there should be no problem for the the 310.

...or indeed the Aztec, he muses to himself...

Even if you meet the performance specs, don't you need a good excuse to go there? Not that 'm saying you don't have one... just pointing out that you can;t land there because you want to!

City airport will accept a pilot using the airport for business purposes in an approved aircraft. The POH has to state that the aircraft is capable of a 5 Degree glidepath and that the pilot is also certified to carry out the approach. City are able to arrange the approach training if required. If you can provide evidence of flying into another 5 degree aircraft in an approved aircraft that is also acceptable.

The aircraft is required to have TWO pilots both certified in steep approach operation. Yes even in a GA aircraft this requirement stands.

The cost of flight into the airport is £490 of peak and £830 peak.

No single engine aircraft and no club flying. Business use only.

This is a restriction of there operation licence not rules made by the management.

To get an aircraft certified for steep approach that does not contain the information in the POH will require the CAA and the manufacturer to test. This is not a cheap option. An aircraft that contains steep approach data in the POH needs the relevant pages copying and submitting to City and to the CAA. The CAA will issue a steep approach certificate which you then provide to City.

You can use the STOL PAPI's at Gloucestershire Airport (5.25°) for training. Executive Aviation Services, who are based there, have trained Citation crews for EGLC ops in the past and may be able to help. 01452 857006

Incidently, for £830, you could do about 45 touch and goes in a Cessna 310!! :o
