Required Reading Prior to Lesson 1: Read FAA Instrument Flying Handbook Chapter 5: Flight Instruments Chapter 6: Attitude Instrument Flying Chapter 7: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers Chapter 9: Navigation Systems Lesson #1: Attitude Instrument Flying Control-Performance Method of Instrument Flying (Pitch + Power = Performance) Primary flight instruments and the information they provide Aircraft systems related to instrument flying (AHRS vs. vacuum, pitot-static, electrical) Straight and level flight Standard rate turns in both directions to an assigned heading Constant airspeed climbs to an assigned heading Constant airspeed descents to an assigned heading Level airspeed changes Read AIM 1-1-3 VHF Omni-Directional Range (VOR) Read AIM 1-1-4 VOR Receiver Check

Lesson #2: VOR Navigation and Procedure Turns VOR design and function Identify VOR stations and frequencies on VFR Sectional and IFR Low Altitude charts What is a radial and how does ATC use this word when communicating with IFR pilots Tracking inbound or outbound on a radial Victor Airways and VOR service volumes Using DME or GPS for distance from VOR Procedure turn (PT) an IFR flight pattern that allows the pilot to self-navigate onto the final approach course when radar vectors from ATC are not available Depictions of PT on IAP Barb style vs. holding pattern in lieu of PT Ex: VOR 13 SGJ (barb), VOR-DME B BQK (hold) The 5 T s (Time, Twist, Turn, Throttle, Talk) Protected areas for procedure turns (obstacle clearance) Review straight and level flight, standard rate turns to assigned headings Tune and identify a VOR (reading Morse code) Determining position relative to a VOR (i.e. on the 090 radial = east of the VOR) Track inbound TO a VOR, outbound FROM the VOR on current radial Intercept and track an assigned radial TO or FROM the VOR Execute a VOR procedure turn (ex. VOR 13 SGJ) Use the 5 T s Read FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook Chapter 3-21: Holding Patterns Read AIM 5-3-8: Holding

Lesson #3: VOR Holding Structure of a holding pattern (inbound course, outbound heading, standard 1 minute, right turns, protected altitude and area for obstacle clearance) Holding pattern entries (direct, teardrop or parallel; difference between choosing correct answer on FAA Knowledge Test vs. real world holding) Identifying holding patterns on IAPs (PT or missed approach, or both) and IFR Low Altitude charts ATC phraseology for holding ( hold as published, hold east of the Craig VOR on the 090 radial... ) Review the 5 T s (Time, Twist, Turn, Throttle, Talk) as this relates to holding Review straight and level flight, standard rate turns to assigned headings Enter holding as assigned using each entry method Execute a published VOR holding pattern (ex. VOR RWY 14 at KCRG missed approach procedure) Use the 5 T s Read user manual for GPS unit to be used Read AIM 1-1-17: Global Positioning System (GPS) Read AIM 1-1-18: Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)

Lesson #4: GPS Technology, Functions and Data Entry for IFR Design and function of GPS What is WAAS and how do you know if your GPS is WAAS equipped Limitations of GPS under IFR Database currency and pilot responsibility Track vs. Heading GPS NOTAMs T-Routes on IFR Low Altitude charts vs. Victor Airways Use of GPS in lieu of ADF, DME Discuss: Make and model of GPS to be used, its capabilities and limitations Review straight and level flight, standard rate turns to assigned headings GPS database validation and basic setup of moving map display (range, orientation, data fields) CDI representation on GPS unit vs. external CDI (GPS can only show GPS course, not VLOC) VLOC vs. GPS mode (CDI button) TRK vs. Heading TRK vs. DTK Enter a waypoint and fly Direct-To the waypoint Determine distance and desired track to the waypoint Enter and modify a flight plan Download/print VOR RWY 4 approach at KSSI, which offers a DME arc Read FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook Chapter 4-43 DME Arcs

Lesson #5: DME Arcs Using GPS Structure and purpose of a DME arc (procedure turn on a published IAP; arcs generally don t exist outside of this context in the same way holds do) Examples of DME arcs (i.e. VOR RWY 4 at KSSI, ILS or LOC RWY 25R at KDAB) Execution of the arc is largely dependent on navigation equipment available in the airplane Standalone VOR receiver with DME pilot references DME distance while on the arc and uses the turn 10, twist 10 method to navigate and monitor progress around the arc GPS with moving map that displays the arc as part of an IAP pilot references the arc itself with CDI displaying lateral displacement from the arc; GPS will provide DTK and TRK information while on the arc to guide the pilot on the arc Create your own arc for the check ride using GPS, to satisfy this required task on the Instrument Rating ACS pilot selects Direct-To the VOR as a waypoint, and while in GPS mode on the CDI, uses OBS function to select and modify course that s displayed on the moving map Review straight and level flight, standard rate turns to assigned headings GPS database validation and basic setup of moving map display (range, orientation, data fields) Create your own arc: Enter Direct-To the VOR waypoint Select GPS mode on CDI Use OBS to select a course (radial) from the VOR Track outbound on the course to assigned distance Within 1/2 mile of assigned distance, turn 90 degrees right or left to arc clockwise or counterclockwise as assigned Use turn 10, twist 10 method to navigate and monitor progress around the arc Maintain assigned distance within 1/2 mile Apply wind correction as needed Exit the arc as assigned Download/print VOR RWY 13 at KSGJ, VOR RWY 4 at KSSI Read FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook Chapter 4-66: VOR Approach Chapter 4-75: Localizer Approaches Chapter 4-35: Instrument Approach Procedure Briefing
