UK AIP, perchance?

Once current you stay current on that type.

Wrong !

You need to do sim training once per 13 months to remain current into LCY.
1 landing
1 Go Around
1 V1 cut.

That changed then. Sorry.

It doesn't have to be on the Sim. I've always done the training on the aircraft and you can visit Gloucester, Coventry (although this may not be the case now) and I believe Dundee for the steep approach training. They can reset the papis.

The aircraft has to be approved (steep approach supplement), the operator and also the pilot.

You can find this info I believe on te LCY website.

I think there's more info for pilots on the London City Airport Consultative Committee web site (London City Airport Consultative Committee - Home Page (http://www.lcacc.org)), including this PDF file outlining conditions of use: http://www.lcacc.org/fees/conditions04.pdf

Ask Chief Pilot, DK, Scot Airways?
Used to be every 13 months in same type that was approved for steep approaches.

Dude,

You can get the requirements from the airfield director's office, they are not published.

I have not requested them recently but my last copy stated that the operator had to send them a letter stating which captains had been trained. Note also that co-pilots should have steep approach awareness training and single pilot ops are not allowed.

There is no legal currency, it is up to your company. The posts above are helpful but one should be aware that what is in one particular company's ops manual is company policy and not necessarily regulation, this is a common misconception by many line pilots across the board.

The posts above are sensible and a 12 month currency is reasonable. I think Cambridge will also set their PAPIs at 5.5 for you but you can also practice without PAPIs.

If you wish to discuss further on the telephone them please PM me.

LCY Jet center ask for these docs:

Certification requirements for LCY


Your AFM must contain procedure and limitations for approach path of 5.5° or greater


These procedures must be approved by the licensing authority of the country in which the aircraft is registered


Proof of steep approach training for operating crew


Some suggestions of airfields that have facilities for steep approach training

EGBE, EGBJ, LSGS, LFBV, LFLB, LOWI

It is your responsability to confirm the approach is 5.5° or steeper before training at any airfield

Stepped approach as LSZA is not considered acceptable

Flight simulator

Steep aproach training in a simulator is acceptable to LCY using a regulatory approved simulator

Flight Safety Paris is JAA approved
