Basic Wing Course - Instrument & Navigation Stage

Learn the basics of instrument flight. Academically, you will take the basic and advanced instrument classes, then you will apply this knowledge in the flight simulator and aircraft. You will study instrument flight procedures and regulations. Your work begins with establishing a good instrument scan, using steep turns, vertical S, and confidence maneuvers. You will progress to flying instrument approaches both locally at your home field and on the road at unfamiliar airfields. Near the end of the instrument stage, you and an instructor will take the plane cross-country and practice instrument approaches at unfamiliar fields at a variety of out-of-area destinations. While flying in this stage, you will be busy studying and memorizing instrument procedures, flight rules and regulations.
