CAAP Instrument Rating Knowledge Exam case studies
CAAP Instrument Rating Knowledge Exam · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Instrument Rating is the qualification that allows a pilot to fly under instrument flight rules (IFR) in instrument meteorological conditions, and in the Philippines it is issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) on the basis of flight experience, training and a written knowledge test. The rating matters most to commercial and airline-track pilots, flight instructors, and private pilots who need schedule reliability in a country where convective weather, haze and seasonal monsoon systems routinely close visual flight. The CAAP Instrument Rating Knowledge Exam case studies are 5 cases and about 2,679 words.
