Part 14IFR FLIGHTS

CHAPTER 14 IFR FLIGHTS

14.01 Purpose and definition

(1) For subregulation 91.287 (1), this Chapter prescribes requirements relating to the operation of an aircraft for an IFR flight.

(2) In this Chapter, an aircraft is approved for operation under a particular navigation specification if it is approved for the specification by at least 1 of the following:

(b) a document approved under Part 21 of CASR as part of, or based on, an airworthiness assessment;

(c) for a foreign-registered aircraft — a document approved in writing by the NAA of the State of registration or State of the operator of the aircraft.

14.02 IFR flight navigation requirements

(1) The pilot in command must navigate the aircraft by:

(a) use of an area navigation system that meets the performance requirements of the intended airspace or route; or

(b) use of a ground-based navigation aid, but only if:

(i) the route is one where, after making allowance for possible tracking errors of ±9° from the last positive fix, the aircraft will come within the rated coverage of a ground-based navigation aid which can be used to fix the position of the aircraft; and

(ii) the maximum time interval between positive fixes is not more than 2 hours; or

(c) visual reference to the ground or water, but only:

(i) when unable to operate in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b); and

(ii) by day; and

(iii) if weather conditions permit flight in VMC; and

(iv) if the VFR position-fixing requirements mentioned in subsections 13.02 (1) and (2) are complied with.

(2) The pilot in command of an aircraft may:

(a) operate in an airspace or on a route designated as requiring use of a particular navigation specification; or

(b) conduct a terminal instrument flight procedure designated as requiring use of a particular navigation specification;

only if the aircraft is approved for operation under the particular navigation specification.

(3) If the pilot in command is:

(a) operating in an airspace or on a route that requires the use of GNSS; or

(b) conducting a terminal instrument flight procedure that requires the use of GNSS;

then the operation must be conducted using an approved GNSS.

(4) If the navigation system being used becomes inaccurate, unreliable or inoperative, the pilot in command must do the following:

(a) monitor the aircraft’s track by reference to the other navigation aids with which the aircraft is equipped;
