GNSS theory is now covered in the Instrument Rating syllabus and exams. In addition to the GNSS rating endorsement on an Instrument Rating, a PBN endorsement is required based on the PBN specification for aircraft operations - RNP 1 and 2, RNP APCH, or RNP APCH – AR. This course meets the requirements set in the NZ CAA Advisory Circular AC61-17 Appendix III - PBN Knowledge. We have exams to match your training requirements, with certificates and exam feedback (KDR). We also have a brief summary of the operation of some GPS units.Our Part 141 training partner Ardmore Flying School provides the assessment and certification.

After a re-write of the Instrument Rating course syllabus the ADF/NDB knowledge was removed as subject knowledge. Pilots can still get an ADF/NDB endorsement on their Instrument Rating after gaining the knowledge and demonstrating skill by passing a flight examiner test.

This course covers AC61 – 17 Appendix IV ADF/NDB Theory Course Syllabus. After successful completion we will provide you with a certificate and exam feedback to present to the flight examiner. This course and exam is conducted by Ardmore Flying School, a Part 141 Training provider.
