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.
