In this course, learners will build the foundational skills needed to perform basic operations in the National Airspace System under Instrument Flight Rules. Learners develop skills including instrument takeoffs, precise airplane attitude control solely by reference to the airplane instruments, flight at minimum controllable airspeed, stalls, steep turns, unusual attitudes, partial panel operations, radio navigation, cross-country planning and holding procedures. Upon completion of this course, learners will have accrued 17.5 (seventeen and one-half) advanced aviation training device hours and have acquired the minimum set of skills necessary to properly perform takeoffs, basic flight maneuvers, stalls, unusual attitudes, cross- country flight planning and holding procedures in the simulated IFR environment.
