Why an Instrument Rating
• VFR - at the mercy of the weather
• Safety - VFR pilots fly into worsening weather with poor results
• Cost and inconvenience - unscheduled hotel stays when a flight cannot be completed
• Keep on schedule - cannot tell a client you will be there if the weather is good
Why an Instrument Rating?
• Money Saver - More use of an airplane
• Confidence and safety - Complexity of the ATC system
• Removes the temptation to scud-run
• Results in greater precision
• Improves your go/no go decision skills
Requirements
• Part 61–40 Flight Instruction
–50 Hours of Cross-country
• Part 141–35 hours Flight Instruction
–30 hours Ground Instruction
IPC
• Instrument Proficiency Check
• Consists of a representative number of tasks required by the instrument rating practical test
Instrument Currency
• “To act as PIC of an aircraft on an IFR flight plan, one must have logged (within the preceding 6 months):– 6 approaches– holding– intercepting and tracking navigation courses– or passed an IPC
Currency
3 approaches, navigation, holding
Need IPC
Flying on the Ground
• Flight Simulator - full size cockpit replica with motion cueing system
• Flight Training Device - full size replica of the instruments, panels and controls of an aircraft
• PCATD - personal computer-based aviation training device
AIM
• Aeronautical Information Manual provides basic flight information and ATC procedures for the National Airspace System.
• Health and medical factors
• Pilot/controller glossary of terms
• Safety, accident and hazard reporting
Terms
• VFR - visual flight rules
• VMC - visual meteorological conditions
• IFR - instrument flight rules
• IMC - instrument meteorological conditions
FARs Commercial Operations
• Part 121 Domestic (Scheduled)
• Part 121 Flag (out side the U.S.)
• Part 121 Supplemental (Not Scheduled)
• Part 135 Commuter < 9 seats
• Part 135 On-demand 30 seat max
• Part 125 Private carriage > 20 seats
Privileges
• Private Pilot - 35 hours
• Commercial Pilot - 190 hours
• Airline Transport Pilot -1500 hours
Commercial Pilot
• Without an instrument rating, a commercial pilot is limited to daylight operations within 50 nautical miles of the departure airfield
Fundamental Skills
• Cross-check- fixation and omission
• Instrument interpretation
• Aircraft Control– Pitch
– Bank
– Power
– Trim
Teaching Techniques
• Command and Performance
• Primary and Secondary
Command and Performance
• At full power in a C172, with the attitude above the horizon, you expect a certain rate of climb and a certain airspeed.
Stabilized Climb
• Primary - Pitch - Airspeed
• Primary - Bank- Heading Indicator
• Supporting Pitch and Bank - Attitude indicator
• Supporting Pitch - vertical speed
• Supporting bank - turn coordinator
