COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

PHASE I: Attitude Instrument Flying, 32 hours. Attitude instrument flying

four fundamentals of flight, flight and engine instruments, aircraft

performance, stability, and control.

Objective: To lay a foundation of understanding and student knowledge of

the skill needed for attitude instrument flying (i.e.flying instruments

on a continuing basis.)

To review flight instruments and engine instruments and their unique

operating characteristics.

To develop the students' skill in scan techniques, cross-check, inter-

pretation and aircraft control by presenting a series of increasingly

demanding simulator exercises.

Content:

1. Instrument systems review (4 hrs)

2. Instrument calibration exercises (2 hrs)

3. Four fundamentals of flight (8 hrs)

4. Attitude Instrument Flying (8 hrs)

5. Instrument scan, interpretation and recovery (4 hrs)

6. Interpretation, cross-check, and aircraft control in standard ATC

  procedures (6 hrs).

PHASE II: INSTRUMENT FLYING OPERATIONS, 32 HOURS. The IFR environment,

ATC System, ATC Clearances, enroute procedures, instrument departures and

approaches.

Objectives: To expand students' understanding of the radio navigation

system.

To increase student skill in functioning within that system.

To provide IFR flight scenarios requiring the student to respond within

accepted IFR standards and procedures for IFR departure, enroute and

arrival segments of an IFR flight.

Topics and Scope

PHASE I CONTENT:

1. Instrument systems review (4 hrs)

2. Instrument calibration exercises (2 hrs)

3. Four fundamentals of flight (8 hrs)

4. Attitude Instrument Flying (8 hrs)

5. Instrument scan, interpretation and recovery (4 hrs)

6. Interpretation, cross-check and aircraft control in standard ATC

  procedures (6 hrs)

Completion Standards: Each maneuver must be demonstrated by the student

in the simulator within the following parameters:

  þ5 degrees of heading

  þ5 seconds

  þ100 feet of altitude

Phase I final check will consist of a completed monitored "A" or "B"

pattern with climbs and descents on the simulator with the plotter

attached and tracking. The above standards must be met for a passing

grade.

PHASE II CONTENT:

1. Radio navigation review (2 hrs)

2. Pattern "B" oriented on a navigation aid (4 hrs)

3. Holding patterns (6 hrs)

4. DME Arcs (4 hrs)

5. Instrument approaches (6 hrs)

6. Complete IFR flight (8 hrs)

Completion Standards: A final course written exam will be included with

a completed IFR flight executed on the simulator. Student will be graded

on written exam and practical standards.

Assignments:

Weekly reading and homework assignments.
