IFR flight test at Cornwall
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 !

Your question is directly and completely answered at Exercise 8B in the Instrument Rating Flight Test Guide

Re: IFR flight test at Cornwall
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.
Re: IFR flight test at Cornwall
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?Bluenoser29 wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 10:32 am I did mine a couple years ago.

Re: IFR flight test at Cornwall
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.
Re: IFR flight test at Cornwall
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.Bluenoser29 wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 4:19 am 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.

I have seen it done both ways at Cornwall. Each examiner seems to have their preference.
Re: IFR flight test at Cornwall
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.FL290 wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 5:40 amAn LPV can be flown in lieu of an ILS on an initial IR flight test.

I guess since you know Cornwall you could share? thank you!
Re: IFR flight test at Cornwall
They have more than one examiner. You could be going to YOW or YUL for an ILS or staying local for the LPV.nappo787 wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 7:41 pmSo what's Cornwall's examiner preference?
