What To Look For In Instrument Training

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Train in the type of aircraft instrumentation (glass or steam) you intend to fly to avoid additional training later.
  • Ensure flight simulators are utilized effectively for instrument scanning and procedures, with proficient instructors.
  • Choose a ground school that aligns with your preferred charting and electronic flight bag, covering the FAA written exam, ATC, and aircraft systems.
  • Seek out real-world Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) flight experience and an instructor seasoned in challenging weather conditions like icing and low ceilings.
