Instrument Ground School, Spring 2023
January 12, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - April 20, 2023 @ 8:30 pm
The class will run for 12 weeks and be divided into two six-week terms. We meet Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM for two hours in the Morey Airplane Company conference room. The Winter term begins Thursday, January 12 and goes though February 16. Following a four-week break, the Spring term begins Thursday, March 16 and finishes April 20.
The class has two objectives: 1) To help you become a safe and proficient instrument pilot and 2) successfully pass the FAA instrument pilot-airplane written test. Topics covered in the first six-week term will be FAR’s, advanced human factors, instrumentation, attitude Instrument flying, navigation, airport operations, airspace, and the ATC system. Topics covered in the second six-week term include: IFR charts; en route procedures holding; arrival procedures; approach charts; approach procedures; meteorology, and IFR flight planning.
You will need to have the following references at the start of class: Jeppesen Instrument Commercial textbook and test guide, Airman Certification Standards for Instrument Pilot- Airplane, and The FAR/AIM. All four can be purchased from the Morey Airplane Company office. Additional supplies such as IFR charts and chart supplements will be needed later.
