Page 193. The question text now inlcudes an extract from the GAF as follows. "The GAF sub-division C (around Kalumburu), forecasts cloud as BKN with a base of 1000 feet and tops of 2000 feet)". Page 195 now includes the following expanded explanation for the application of 'contingency fuel' "Minimum fuel required on departure Griffith would normally be: 31 x 1.1 + 18 + 45 + 30. However 10% of 31 is only 3.1 minutes. The contingency fuel is the lesser of 10% of the trip fuel or 5 minutes whichever is the greatest. So, in this case you must use 5 minutes. So min fuel = 31 + 5 + 18 + 45 + 30 = 129 minutes”. Part 135 MOS 7.02 (b).

Change answer (b) to 480ft. It is the glide slope indicator that has failed. You will still have a DME readout from the RNAV/GNSS. A DME is required for this approach, so you can continue with the LOC approach. Answer according to the current DAP is 460ft.

Some of the questions in the IREX book make reference to ground operation of radar equippment. The answers were based on the assumption that CAO 20.9 was still in force. That is not correct. Only reference to operation of electronic epuippment in the vicinity if refuelling points is in CASR 91.485 (3) (c) (ii), which says 6m is the minimum distance at which electronic equipment can be operated from refuelling points.

The required aeronautical knowledge for the CASA IREX is largely unchanged. However there have been some changes affecting the document references where the information can be found. The links below will assist in finding the new references that affect the IREX study guide.

Page 319 Answers to Question 4 Set 2 Revision Exercises. Replace existiing answer with:
Kerang has a GNSS approach with alternate minima specified as 1116 ft ceiling and minimum visibility of 4.4 km. There is no TAF available for Kerang but you can use the Area QNH inste (AIP ENR 1.5 para 5.3.4. So use a ceiling of 1165 and 4.4 visibility. Also be careful of the use of 'and' or 'or'. if either the ceiling or visibility is below the minimum, an alternate is required

The latest issue of the AIP (March 2021) has required a large number of
changes to the references in our study guides.
There have been no signifcant changes to the actual wording, but the
section and paragraph numbers have changed rather dramatically.
As you can imagine, this has presented us with a major task of updating
hundreds of references across all of the publications plus hundreds of
on-line practice exam questions
.
This document LATEST REFERENCE CHANGES.pdf contains the relevant changes to the
INSTRUMENT RATING STUDY GUIDE.

Page 181 Changed minimum fuel required equation to reflect the changed fuel requirements ie: no variable reserve on alternates
Therefore minimum fuel required = [84 +38] x 1.1+ 45 + 30 = 210 minutes
is now
Therefore minimum fuel required = [84 x 1.1] + 38+ 45 + 30 = 205 minutes
Page 183 [31 +18] x 1.1 + 45 + 30 = 127 minutes.
is now
10% of 30 is less than 5min. So add 5 min for variable reserve. 31 + 5 + 18 + 45 + 30 = 129 minutes
30.01.2019
Page 181 Changed minimum fuel required equation to reflect the changed fuel requirements ie; no variable reserve on alternates
Therefore minimum fuel required = [85 +38] x 1.1+ 45 + 30 = 207 minutes
is now
Therefore minimum fuel required = [85 x 1.1] + 38+ 45 + 30 = 207 minutes
Page 183 [31 +18] x 1.1 + 45 + 30 = 127 minutes.
is now
[31 x 1.1] + 18 + 45 + 30 = 127 minutes.
