Mach Jump don't both approaches for the test have to be pilot-interpreted?
No. You only have to do one approach in the Test. The other Is completed and certified during training.
From CAP804 Part II Section 5 Part E Page 4
2.3.3 Approach and Let-Down
Use of approach charts, Decision Height/Minimum Descent Height calculations using
the recommended minima for the IMC Rated pilot given in the UK AIP forming a mental
picture of the approach, initial homing, achieving the overhead/approach fix, holding
procedures, achieving the horizontal and vertical patterns, calculation of rate of descent,
go-around, missed approach procedure.
Applicants are to be trained in at least 2 instrument approach procedures using VOR,
ADF, ILS, GPS, radar or VDF of which at least one must be pilot interpreted. Completion
of a notified recognised civil or military instrument approach procedure during training,
is to be certified in the applicant’s flying book. Note that GPS approaches are defined
as those notified by the Authority in the AIP and flown using equipment certified for the
conduct of such approaches in the aeroplane’s Pilots Operating Handbook or Flight
Manual; overlay approaches or privately designed approaches are not acceptable.

c)
d) Let-down and Approach Procedures
Let-down and approach to Decision Height, Minimum Descent Height and missed
approach procedure using a pilot-interpreted aid, carry out a recognised instrument
approach procedure to Decision Height, Minimum Descent Height hence the
appropriate go-around and missed approach procedure.
