If you’re on a path to becoming a career pilot, you’re also probably enrolled in a program offering instrument training. You’ll do it their way if you want to graduate. The rest of us face many more variables, and how we respond to them can impact every aspect of how and whether we earn the instrument rating.
What To Look For In Instrument Training
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.
