    Instrument Flying

    $0.00
    You need an instrument rating to legally file and fly instrument flight rules (IFR). However, haphazardly visual flight rules (VFR) pilots can find themselves in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). With the proper instrument knowledge and training, a pilot can avoid potentially fatal situations in IMC. Furthermore, knowledge of a series of radio and satellite navigational aids will give pilots more navigational confidence on long distance flights and (hopefully) prevent them from ever getting lost. Your instruments want to talk to you. Learn how to “speak instrument” so you can hear what they are saying. This skill will help you to avoid falling prey to various illusions.
  • Understanding how illusions created by drift affects your ability to turn the airplane on a desired track will improve your ability to maneuver the airplane at low levels. Furthermore, wind drift will cause illusions that can lead to potential dangerous situations. If you have a firm understanding of drift your low-level flying skills, such as in the circuit where ground tracks are important, will improve.
