Ppc ?

Hello,

just a general question:

I know PPC stands for Pilot Proficiency Check but when do you need it and what does it consist of.


Cheers,

Devilbis

A pilot proficiency check is a demonstration that you are competent to do the job assigned to you as a flight crew member. It is a requirement for flying a multi-engined aircraft, turbine helicopter, and certain high performance single engine aircraft such as the PC-12.

Think of it as the flight test for flight on instruments, and the check-ride required for a multi-engine rating, rolled into one check, with the items specific to that particular type included.

This PPC ride is required annually for aircraft in Canada under 12,500 pounds, and every six months for aircraft over 12, 500.

The Canadian Aviation Regulations are available at:
http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/re...vRegs/menu.htm

Sub-part 705 under Part VII - Commercial Air Services
CAR 705.106 deals with Pilot Qualifications.

The Commercial Air Service Standards for airline operations are at:

http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/REGSERV...c/nav-2059.htm

that page will show you both the Standard, 725.106, and the three "Schedules" for PPCs in a simulator (synthetic training device), aeroplane and the requirements for Cruise Relief Pilots.

The essential detail of the actual checks are in there. Operators in this league are expected to develop scripts for initial and recurrent PPCs, with the recurrent ones changing every six months (or training cycle for programs with LOFT). The scripts must meet the Schedule requirements above, and should reflect the operator's approved training matrix.
