Riassunto

The Instrument Rating or IR is considered by many pilots to be the hardest of all the challenges they face when training to become a professional pilot. It is usually the final challenge before applying to the airlines and aircraft operators with your new professional pilot’s licence. One of the reasons why the IR test can be so exacting is because it requires you as the student to show a high attention to detail. In all ways you are proving to the examiner that you can be relied upon to fly, navigate and communicate in a safe and professional way and at a high level. There is no substitute to spending all those hours in the aircraft or simulator with your instructor practising the procedures for real. However, this book aims in a concise way, to cover all the checklists and flying exercises you will need to exhibit during the IR test. It is split into sections and covers;-Aircraft Ground & Flight ChecksGeneral Instrument FlyingInstrument Approach ProceduresAsymmetric FlyingProfile of the IR Test In addition there is a section covering Background Knowledge which you will need to know. This covers subjects such as Instrument Rating Test Tolerances, Angles of Bank, Calculating Wind Drift and Radio Procedures.
