Here is a question that I just can't figure out:
The minimum instrument time in aeroplanes within the last 90 days required by a pilot with a Command Instrument Rating to ac as pilot in command on a single pilot IFR flight in an aeroplane would be -
[a] Single - pilot operations - 1 hour ICUS instrument time on any IFR aircraft including one instrument approach.
[b] Single - pilot operations - 1 hour ICUS instrument flight time in an aircraft certified for single - pilot operation, including one instrument approach.
[c] Single - pilot operations - 1 hour PIC instrument flight time in an aircraft certified for single - pilot operations, including one instrument approach.
[d] Single - pilot operations - 1 hours PIC instrument time on an approved synthetic trainer including one instrument approach.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
No I have ruled out [a] and [d] straight away as they don't include the 'in an aircraft certified for single pilot operations' as in CAO 40.2.1.11.5. I can't for the life of me though see a difference between [b] and [c] as CAO states that both 1 hour PIC and 1 hour ICUS in either an aircraft or synthetic flight trainer with one instrument approach is sufficient for recency. Any ideas???
