IMPORTANT NOTE

Following successful completion of this exercise, Training Captains must ensure completion of
form 645 “Instrument Rating Application”, Command, Multi-Engine and Endorsed for ADF, VOR,
ILS, DME and RNAV (GNSS) as applicable. Signature required in Section F.

CAO 40.2.1 Para 5.1 states that an instrument rating remains in force for the period of one year from
the last day of the month in which the rating was issued or renewed.

CAO 40.2.1 Para 12.2 states that where an Instrument Rating has expired for a period of less than
12 months, an applicant may qualify for the issue of a rating by passing the instrument rating test
applicable to the renewal of the rating.

CAO 40.2.1 Para 12.3 states that where an Instrument Rating has expired for a period in excess of
12 months, an applicant may qualify for the issue of a rating by passing the instrument rating test
applicable to the initial issue of an Instrument Rating.

The Training Captain conducting this exercise must check the student’s licence to determine
whether they hold a DME endorsement. If not then the DME arrival sequence at the end of the
exercise must also be flown.

The applicant must forward the following documents to;

Team Leader Flying Operations (currently Trevor Howie)
CASA Sydney Airline Office/Compliance Division
Cnr Robey Street & Qantas Drive
P.O. Box 409 MASCOT NSW 2020.

1. *The completed Application for Instrument Rating Form 645; and

2. *Applicant's Licence and Experience (photocopies of the licence and relevant log book pages
would suffice); and

3. *Copy of this IRT Lesson Plan.

The following DME arrival check is only required for initial Instrument Rating or
pilots whose Instrument Rating has been expired for more than 12 months. The
circling approach is mandatory and may be conducted after any instrument
approach. To save time this may be conducted after NDB RWY 16 with circling
to land RWY 34 at Melbourne during next sequence.
Go around for;
DME Arrival from the South followed by circling approach to land RWY 18 for
Captain; or
DME Arrival from the North followed by circling approach to land RWY 36 for First
Officer
