TABLE OF CONTENT

[ ] TO DEVELOP THE STUDENT'S KNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATION OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ATTITUDE FLYING AND INSTRUMENT INTERPRETATION WITH REGARD TO PITCH, BANK AND POWER CONTROL.

Review of applicable parts, chapters, and sections of the Instrument Flying Handbook (IFH), and Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) [Also possibly included: AC 60-14 (aviation instructors handbook), and the appropriate PTS books]

Review IFH :10
Review POH :5

- Instrument Flight Handbook (chapters 1 - 7)
- Instrument Flight Handbook (chapters 8 and beyond)
-POH (as appropriate)

-Discuss Lesson Objectives
--basic concept of attitude instrument flying; instrument cross-check, interpretation and aircraft control; primary, supporting, direct indicating, and indirect indicating instruments; instruments used for pitch, bank, and power control; trim technique.
--flight by reference to instruments: straight and level flight, changes of airspeed, constant airspeed climbs and descents, rate climbs and descents, timed turns to magnetic compass headings, steep turns, and recovery from unusual flight attitudes.
-Instruments which provide Primary /Support indications of aircraft control.

-Review applicable IFH sections
*IFH, V pp. 55-96 (attitude instrument flying).
-Review applicable POH sections.

-Discuss Lesson Objectives
-Listen, take notes, and ask questions
-Review reference documents

-The student should have the capability to explain the fundamentals of instrument flying and how they affect the control of the aircraft.

-Lack of appropriate reference manuals and documents.-Lack of knowledge of aircraft performance capabilities.
-Misinterpretation.
-Failure to cross-check
-Failure to observe rate of changes.
-Poor trim technique.
-Additional errors from IFH, pp. 75-76, 79-80, 89-90, and p. 93.
-Unable to maintain the aircraft within the specified parameters of the PTS (altitude, heading and airspeed).
-Fixation on one instrument
-Emphasis on a single instrument.
-Omission of secondary instruments
-Poor aircraft control.
-Poor scan.
