One problem instrument rating students often face, once they’ve learned the basics of a particular instrument rating maneuver, is how to practice regularly enough to solidly reinforce what they’ve learned. There’s always the next airplane lesson, of course, or a flight training device. FTDs have, in fact, become an extremely popular way for instrument students to practice between formal lessons. Students practicing maneuvers on an FTD unsupervised though, makes many instructors worry their students will pick up bad habits along the way.

Key Takeaways:
- Redbird Flight Simulations' "GIFT" (guided independent flight training) program addresses the problem of instrument rating students developing bad habits when practicing unsupervised in flight simulators.
- GIFT provides real-time coaching and measures student performance against Instrument ACS standards, offering varied flight scenarios and dynamic challenges to ensure structured and effective practice.
- The system generates detailed performance reports for instructor review and can actively intervene or terminate a session if a student's flying falls significantly below acceptable standards, promoting rigorous adherence to safe procedures.
