-Discuss Lesson Objectives
--basic concept of the forces affecting aircraft performance caused by the interaction of air and the aircraft.
--Review aircraft flight instruments and navigation equipment.
-Review applicable IFH sections
*IFH, III pp. 15-24 (aerodynamic factors related to 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 instruments, navigation equipment, and aerodynamic factors related to instrument flying.

-Lack of appropriate reference manuals and documents.
-Lack of knowledge of aircraft performance capabilities.
-Lack of understanding of instruments and navigation equipment: to include those listed in Lesson 15 and VHF omnirange (VOR), DME, ILS, marker beacon receiver/indicators, transponder/altitude encoding, and ADF.
-Lack of understanding of aerodynamic forces, straight and level flight, climbs, descents, power-airspeed -and-vertical airspeed, power-airspeed and elevator control, trim, turns, forces acting on an aircraft in turns, changes in lift in a turn, angle of bank and rate of turn, drag factors, constant rate turns, load factors and angle of bank, slips and skids, and coordination of rudder and aileron controls.
