● Certificate: Issuance of a completion certificate at the end of the course.

ILS CAT II Course – E145, ATR 42/72, and EMB-120

Instrument Landing System – Category II

Objective

To train pilots to perform Category II precision approaches (ILS CAT II) with minimum meteorological conditions of 100 feet decision height and 300 meters runway visual range, according to AC 91-020 SRVSOP / ICAO-LIMA. The training prepares pilots for flight verification and performance analysis in the roles of pilot in command or second in command, following specific authorization from ANAC.

Target Audience

● Pilots who meet the requirements of RBHA 91.189 and need simulator training for Category II approach procedures, as per IS 91-004B, dated 12/JUL/17.

Minimum Qualification / Previous Experience

● Private Pilot License – Aircraft or higher.
● Certification on EMB-120, EMB-145, or ATR 42/72.
● Alternatively, be in training to obtain or update certification on EMB-120, EMB-145, or ATR 42/72.

Format

● Theoretical and Practical: Theoretical classes and training on Full Flight Simulator.

Duration

● Ground Segment: 8 hours.
● Flight Segment: 4 hours per pilot, performing 20 approaches per Pilot Flying, divided over 2 days.

EPA Certification

● Certificate: Issued to each crew upon course completion.

Recent Experience Type

Objective

To meet the RBAC 61.21 requirement, which mandates that a pilot must perform at least 3 takeoffs and 3 landings, either daytime or nighttime, in an aircraft of the same category and class/type within the last 90 days to act as pilot in command. For nighttime operations, takeoffs and landings must be performed during the nighttime period. These procedures may be conducted in an ANAC-qualified FSTD that represents the category of the aircraft to be flown.

Covered Aircraft

● ATR 42/72
● EMB-145 and variants
● EMB-120

Format

● Training in Full Flight Simulator

Duration

● Approximately 30 minutes per pilot

EPA Certification

● Completion certificate of the course
● Evaluation form signed by an Accredited Examiner with recorded landings

Recent IFR Experience

Objective

To meet the requirement of RBAC 61.21(b)(2)(i), which stipulates that a pilot must have performed at least 6 instrument approach procedures in the category of the aircraft within the last 6 months to act as pilot in command on IFR flights. These procedures can be conducted in an ANAC-qualified FSTD that represents the category of the aircraft to be flown.
