Flight Training Lesson 5

1.5 Hours Dual; Pre/Post Flight Discussion 1.0 Hours

Objective

During this lesson, the student will conduct a complete IFR flight from the base airport to an airport greater than 25 n.m. away, fly a non-precision GPS approach (substitute VOR if GPS is INOP or unavailable), go missed, hold, and return to the base airport, flying a GPS approach to a full stop.

Elements

Review

• IFR planning
• weather briefing
• approaches
• unusual attitudes

Introduction

• non-precision GPS approaches (if aircraft equipped)
• holding

Schedule

• obtain clearance
• set up avionics and plates for an approach back to BED
• depart BED for ORH
• request a GPS approach (typically RNAV 29)
• go missed and hold
• request vectors back to BED
• fly a GPS approach at BED (typically RNAV 29 or 23); may be easier to get an approach to 23 when airport is busy

Equipment

• FAA Rotorcraft Flying Handbook
• FAA Instrument Flying Handbook
• Robinson R22/R44 IFR Trainer
• R22/R44 P.O.H.

Completion Standards

The student should demonstrate proper recovery techniques from unusual attitudes. With only occasional instructor coaching, the student will fly non-precision approaches without consistently exceeding a +/- 100' altitude tolerance. The student will be able to do 80 percent of the radio work without assistance

Any deviations from the completion standards should be noted in previous section. After completing a maneuver listed under Introduction, place a check mark next to that maneuver. Assign grades of Above Standard, Meets Standard, or Below Standard to maneuvers listed under Review.
