Part 2: R/T practical part (IFR)
Part 2: R/T practical part
The IFR R/T-testing scenario is a simulation of an actual flight.
AEPS developed various scenarios for the practical part of the IFR R/T-testing, which are revamped on a regular interval.
The scenarios contain information for the candidate regarding:
- Departure and arrival airport
- Radio-frequencies available (DELIVERY, GND, TWR, Departure, En route, Approach…)
- Approach plates
The simulation of the R/T focuses on:
- IFR-Clearance
- Push-back
- Taxi-clearance
- Switch to TWR frequency
- Line-up and take-off clearance
- Contact Departure frequency
- IFR manoeuvres (Climb, holding, approach)
- Descent
- Inbound/outbound to/from arrival station
- Vectoring/turning instructions
- Approach
- Landing clearance
- Change to TWR frequency
My tips:
- This exercise is very important to demonstrate your knowledge and ease of utilization of the ICAO standard phraseology.
- For acronyms and abbreviations, you may be asked to explain their meaning.
- The virtual flight may include an emergency situation.
