Objective
During this lesson, the student will conduct a flight containing
unusual approaches, including a DME arc.
Elements
Review
- using the IFR system
- holding
Introduction
- DME arc
- localizer back course approaches
- pitot instrument failure
- static instrument failures
Schedule
- obtain clearance
- set up avionics and plates for an approach back to BED
- depart BED for SFZ
- cover the airspeed indicator and ask for some airspeed
changes (use ground speed readout on GPS, if available, as periodic check without
uncovering instrument)
- cover the altimeter and VSI and ask the student to hold
altitude; demonstrate the availability of true altitude from the
GPS
- remind the student that true altitude (GPS) will be lower than indicated altitude (altimeter) when temperature lower than standard
- fly a GPS 23 at SFZ
- fly the VOR/DME 34 at PVD
- fly the LOC BC at EWB
- land at EWB to file again if going IFR
- fly a LOC 35 at OWD
- fly an ILS approach at BED (29 or 11)
Equipment
- FAA Rotorcraft Flying Handbook
- FAA Instrument Flying Handbook
- Robinson R22/R44 IFR Trainer
- R22/R44 P.O.H.
