What To Look For In Instrument Training

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Tailor your instrument flight training to the specific type of aircraft instrumentation (glass or steam) and electronic flight bag (EFB) you plan to use.
  • Ensure your chosen training facility effectively utilizes simulators for instrument scanning and procedural practice, regardless of the simulator type.
  • Engage in comprehensive ground school that covers FAA exam preparation, ATC procedures, aircraft systems, and integrates your preferred charting options.
  • Prioritize obtaining real-world instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) experience and training with an instructor experienced in various weather challenges.
