IPC
Can anyone share their experience with the IPC in the Redbird? What was covered as well as the oral portion?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Re: IPC
Felt the same as my IFR initial way back when as much as I can remember. Did it in the redbird modelled as a Seneca. Pretty straight forward. Talk them through planning a flight, asked a few questions. Flew the plan with a couple of failures. It was not as bad as I had built it up in my mind
Re: IPC
When I did mine it was the same routing as my initial ride in Airplane. Ground brief was pretty standard comprehensive IFR ground brief. We were allowed to use the autopilot for the IPC although one of my failures was the autopilot.

Re: IPC
Have a decent understanding of the Cap Gen, especially the first 38 or so pages (Takeoff minima, Spec Vis, RVO/LVO, alternate minima, approach bans, etc). Expect a few questions on information contained on a LO chart.
For the sim itself, typically most examiners are fine with autopilot use (as mentioned) because the Redbird can be a challenge to hand fly for an entire IPC, but expect an autopilot failure at some point. It’s worth doing a couple single engine ILS approaches in the sim prior to the main event so you are comfortable with how it handles. Also note, recently full and partial panel unusual attitudes have been added to the IPC.

Re: IPC
Out of curiosity, how did the examiner "fail" the autopilot?
What were the supposedly corrective actions?
Thank You
