IFL Limited instrument panel manoeuvres

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform normal flight manoeuvres and recover from unusual attitudes in each of the following non-normal situations:
 1.        without reference to the primary attitude indicator or display;
 2.        without reference to the primary heading indicator or display;
 3.         without reference to reliable airspeed indications.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               IFL.1 – Recognise failure of attitude indicator and stabilised heading indicator
            1.        monitor flight instruments and instrument power sources and recognise warning indicators or erroneous instrument indications;
            2.        transition from a full instrument panel to a limited instrument panel.
     2.               IFL.2 – Perform manoeuvres – limited panel
            1.        interpret and respond appropriately to instrument indications;
            2.        apply power and attitude settings to achieve straight and level performance during:
                   1.          normal cruise;
                   2.         in an aeroplane-approach configuration with flaps (when fitted) and undercarriage down;
                   3.       in a helicopter at minimum power for level flight speed;
            3.         apply power and attitude settings to achieve:
                   1.          nominated climb performance;
                   2.         nominated descent performance;
                   3.       during climb, descent and straight and level flight, rate 1 turns onto a nominated heading;
            4.        trim (as applicable) and balance aircraft;
            5.        establish level flight at a nominated altitude, from a climb or descent during straight or turning flight.
     3.               IFL.3 – Recover from upset situations and unusual attitudes – limited panel
            1.        correctly identify upset situations and unusual attitudes under simulated IMC;
            2.        recover to stabilised straight and level flight using approved techniques from upset situations and unusual attitudes under simulated IMC from any combination of the following aircraft states:
                   1.          high and low-nose attitudes;
                   2.         varying angles of bank;
                   3.       various power settings;
                   4.       various aircraft configurations;
                   5.         unbalanced flight.
     4.               IFL.4 – Re-establish visual flight
            1.        transition from visual flight conditions to instrument flight conditions while maintaining control of the aircraft;
            2.        perform a manoeuvre to re-establish visual flight;
            3.         implement a plan that ensures the flight continues in VMC.

 2.                     Range of variables
        1.        activities are performed in accordance with published procedures;
        2.        single-engine or multi-engine aircraft or approved flight simulation training device;
        3.         manually flown in single-pilot or multi-crew operations;
        4.        simulated IMC conditions;
        5.        up to and including light turbulence.

 3.                     Underpinning knowledge of the following:
        1.        scan technique appropriate to fitted flight instruments and phase of flight (without attitude or stabilised heading indicators);
        2.        performance instrument indications and power requirements to achieve specified flight profiles;
        3.         anti-icing and de-icing controls and switches fitted to the aircraft type, and when these systems should be operated;
        4.        instrument failure and warning systems fitted to the aircraft;
        5.        the safety risks associated with application of
