IFR flight test at Cornwall

[nappo787]

Hello guys,

Do you have to fly to either CYOW or CYUL for an ILS if you are doing your IFR flight test? OR you can do one LPV a Cornwall Regional + one LNAV without going for a full ILS somewhere else these days?

Any comments general comments on the examiner and school?

Thanks !

Thank you yes, I would also like to know recent experiences with them regarding the flight test, any inputs are very much appreciated.

I did mine a couple years ago. Cornwall to YOW was an ILS followed by a hold back in Cornwall for a SCDA RNAV. Overall nothing was unexpected, just fly the procedures and you will do great.

Thank you for your input, there wasn't an LPV back then I guess? or maybe it's a standardized school procedure/examiner thing to go for an ILS still? even when there's an LPV app at CYCC?

TC requires a Precision approach to be flown down to mins for a IFR flight test. That is why an ILS is a must see. An LPV is not a precision approach even though it has vertical guidance.

An LPV can be flown in lieu of an ILS on an initial IR flight test. If an LPV is flown, the second approach must be non-precision WITHOUT vertical guidance. This is stated in the flight test guide.

I have seen it done both ways at Cornwall. Each examiner seems to have their preference.

So what's Cornwall's examiner preference? I find it much easier and less time consuming just doing both approaches in Cornwall without having to fly to YOW.

I guess since you know Cornwall you could share? thank you!

They have more than one examiner. You could be going to YOW or YUL for an ILS or staying local for the LPV.
