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.
Redbird Releases Instrument Rating GIFT at AirVenture
Key Takeaways:
- Redbird Flight Simulations offers a "GIFT" (Guided Independent Flight Training) program to help instrument rating students practice effectively in simulators without developing bad habits.
- The GIFT program provides real-time coaching, measures student performance against instrument ACS standards with a goal of 95% proficiency, and offers detailed report cards, even terminating sessions for unsafe flying.
- While facilitating independent practice, GIFT is designed to be used in conjunction with a flight instructor who provides initial guidance and regularly reviews student performance data, offering a more cost-effective path to proficiency than continuous airplane lessons.
