Description

Instrument Approach Procedures General Information - for approaches required on the long instrument cross country and what is required on the instrument rating practical test.

Per Harry's January 2024 DPE Recurrent Course, you need to do one precision and two non precision on the instrument checkride. The precision approach can be an ILS or a LPV if the LPV has a decision altitude of 300 feet or less. For the non precision, they each need to be a different nav aid. For the non precision you cannot do two different GPS approaches. You can use GPS LPV as the precision and a non precision approach on the same checkride. You can do an ILS and a LOC at the same runway and these will count as the precision and non precision approach.

Per the Jan 2024 DPE Recurrent Class, the approaches on the dual long IFR cross country can all be GPS as long as they have different minimums.
