How To Use The Student Record FolderAs a pilot school certificate holder, you must maintain a current and accurate record for each student enrolled in any approved training course conducted by your school. This record folder helps you to meet the record-keeping requirements of 14 CFR (FAR) 141.101. You can continue using this folder as a student progresses through additional training; for example, after the student completes the private pilot course, you can archive those training records and replace the course content with the content of the instrument course. The following sections explain how to organize student records behind each tab (or section) in this binder, and how to use this folder to manage student records.

Student Information TabOn the front of this tab, enter general student information, plus summary information required by FAR 141.101(a)(1) and (3). Behind the Student Information tab, place copies of any required school enrollment documentation, Immigration and Naturalization Service documents, and Trans-portation Security Administration compliance documents.

Certificates and Endorsements TabUse the front of this tab as a summary and single point of information for required student signoffs related to the training syllabus within this record folder. Behind the Certificates and Endorsements tab, place copies of any required endorsements that are not included on the front of the tab, along with enrollment and graduation certificates and copies of medical and pilot certificates.

Safety Procedures TabBehind this tab, place any school safety procedures and standard operating procedures or guide-lines that students are required to follow while conducting training for a certificate or rating.

Training Course Outline TabBehind this tab, place a copy of the training course outline for the course of training in which the student is enrolled. In addition to the outline for the Jeppesen syllabus, include any activities and procedures that are unique to your school. Each course contains ground and flight lessons inter-leaved into a sequence that promotes building-block learning. If needed, you may instead choose to present the ground syllabus as a separate course.

Ground Syllabus TabThis tab contains the syllabus for the ground-training portion of the course, which is typically pre-sented online in three stages through the Jeppesen Learning Center. The pages following the tab contain outlines of the ground lessons that make up the ground training course. In some courses, similar lessons are grouped into modules.Use the table on the front of the Ground Syllabus tab to record the date of student completion and the time spent on each module or lesson. The exams are also recorded here; the instructor who administers the exam records the final grade and signs the tab in the space provided.

Flight Syllabus TabThis tab contains the syllabus for the flight training portion of the course, which is typically carried out in three stages of flight lessons with stage checks. Use the table on the front of the tab to record the date of student completion of each lesson and the total flight time for each lesson.

Note —The student might need more than one flight to complete a lesson.

Tabs-Instrument Pilot.indd 1 6/18/13 1:32 PM


Use the back of the Flight Syllabus tab to log the student’s flights chronologically. Fill in the appro-priate columns to document the student’s flight operations as required by FAR 141.101(a)(2). The pages that follow contain the flight lesson outlines. Remove each lesson outline from the binder, take it into the aircraft, and record your student’s outcome for each task completed during the lesson. At the completion of the lesson, return the lesson pages to this record folder.

Note — For help with conducting scenario-based training, locate the sample scenarios for selected courses in the Jeppesen Instructor Guides.

Repeat Lesson SheetsIf the desired outcomes in a lesson are not met, use one of the yellow Repeat Lesson sheets to document subsequent flights to complete the lesson. These sheets must be kept as part of this record folder.

For each lesson that requires additional flights, record the lesson number, the objective, and the unsatisfactory tasks that require additional practice. Fill in the desired outcome for each task, the actual outcome, and the completion standards that must be met for the lesson to be considered complete. Upon completion of a repeat flight, file the Repeat Lesson sheet behind the original flight lesson.

Course ElementsThe Jeppesen pilot course contains separate ground and flight segments. You may combine the ground and flight segments of the course or divide the course into separate components. The syl-labus and support materials act as a map that helps you guide your students through the course in a logical sequence. Refer to the Time Allocation Table behind the Training Course Outline tab to learn how the ground, flight, and other lessons are presented in a building block sequence.

Ground TrainingGround school training is an integral component of the Part 141 pilot certification course. If your school environment permits, presenting the ground and flight lessons in the sequence shown in the Time Allocation Table is the most effective method of course delivery. This sequence helps students gain pertinent academic knowledge immediately before applying it during flight training. However, the combined ground and flight training might not be practical at universities, colleges, and other pilot schools. If ground training must be conducted as a separate course, then it is best to schedule it to begin before the first flight lesson, and stay about one stage ahead of the flight training.Students typically complete the lessons in numerical order as listed in the Ground syllabus. However, to accommodate individual student needs, your chief instructor may approve changes to lessons as long as the course continuity is maintained and all objectives are covered.

Ground LessonsThe pages behind the Ground Syllabus tab contain outlines for the ground lessons in your course. Each ground lesson outline contains the following components:

Lesson Objective — A concise statement of what the student must accomplish in this lesson.Lesson References — These elements guide your students to textbook sources on which this lesson is based.Completion Standards — How you know that this lesson is complete.Content — The topics completed online in the Jeppesen Learning Center to complete this lesson.

Each ground lesson includes the content, a practice opportunity for most lesson topics, and an exam. The lessons concisely explain the core objectives in a logical building-block sequence. Students can also explore supplemental information in pop-up windows such as Discovery boxes, Human Factors Elements, More Info, and Technical Perspectives. And throughout the lesson, students can read focused explanations of FAA knowledge test questions in FAA question pop-up windows.



Most Jeppesen pilot-training courses are based on a Jeppesen textbook, a comprehensive reference that your students can obtain either as an e-book or a bound textbook. Students can use the Jeppe-sen FAR/AIM manual or e-book as a reference for studying regulations and air traffic procedures. Refer to the Lesson References in each ground lesson outline for resources specific to the lesson.

Additional LessonsThe Jeppesen course can include additional lessons to enhance student knowledge related to gain-ing a skill. For example, the Private Pilot course contains online maneuvers lessons that provide step-by-step procedural descriptions of each maneuver that students are required to perform in the airplane. Normally, these additional lessons are not required by the basic Part 141 pilot certification course. Check the Lesson Time Allocation Table to determine whether the time for these lessons is included in the required ground-training time.

Stage ExamsThe ground training course includes an online lesson devoted to each stage exam. These exams evaluate student understanding of the knowledge areas within a stage, and they must be proctored by an instructor. Even when the student takes a stage exam online, the school must arrange to have an instructor present when the stage exam is administered. Before students can progress to the next stage, they must successfully complete each stage exam and review each incorrect response with their instructor.

End-of-Course ExamWhen all ground lessons are complete, the student then takes the End-of-Course Exam. As with the stage exams, the End-of-Course Exam must be proctored by an instructor. Following the exam, the instructor assigns each student appropriate subject areas for review. After thoroughly reviewing the exam, it is recommended that the student take the appropriate FAA airman knowledge test as soon as possible.

Scheduling FAA Knowledge TestsPart 141 schools typically have onsite testing centers that students use for taking their FAA knowl-edge tests. The onsite testing centers are normally affiliated with one of the following test providers:

Computer Assisted Testing Service (CATS) http://www.catstest.com/html/applicants/faa/ 1-800-947-4228 or (650) 259-8550 PSI/LaserGrade Computer Testing http://www.lasergrade.com/faa.shtml 1-800-211-2754 or (360) 896-9111

Students studying under Part 61 should schedule their knowledge test directly with these test providers.

Flight TrainingThe flight training syllabus is a scenario-based approach to training pilots that emphasizes the development of critical thinking and decision-making skills. A variety of techniques enable students to take a more active role during training—planning flights that incorporate scenarios, making and implementing decisions, and measuring their own performance using learner-centered grading.

You can review more information about how Jeppesen implements scenario-based training at the end of this section.

Most of the Jeppesen pilot training courses consist of three stages, each of which provides an important segment of the training. Each stage builds on previous learning; therefore, they should be completed in sequence. However, to accommodate individual student needs, your chief instructor may approve changes to lessons, as long as the course continuity is maintained and all objectives are covered.



Flight LessonsTip—Remove one of the flight lessons from the binder and use it for reference as you read this section. Flight lessons normally include the following sections and mission tables:

Objectives — Before each flight, the student and instructor review the objectives for the tasks that are introduced in the lesson.Preflight Briefing — Before each flight, the student leads the preflight briefing discussion of the tasks listed in the Preflight Briefing mission table [Figure 1].

An important part of a student’s ADM skills development occurs during this part of the lesson. To-gether, the student and instructor evaluate how well the student carries out the briefing and record an outcome (E, P, M)* in the Outcome column of the mission table. Student ADM skill is expected to increases as the student progresses through the course, therefore the desired outcomes will progress from Explain at the beginning to Manage/Decide at the end when they are ready for their practical test.

*The meaning of the outcome levels is explained later in this section.

Figure 2. A typical Introduce and Review Task Table



Completion Standards — These standards are statements of what must be accomplished for the lesson to be considered complete. Normally, the lesson is complete when the desired outcomes for every task in the lesson are met.

Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) — The student and instructor evaluate how effectively the student applied ADM to the entire mission and scenario. The ADM evaluations recorded in the In-troduce and Review tables for individual tasks can be used to determine student progress on ADM skills as they apply to the entire flight lesson. [Figure 3]

Postflight BriefingAfter each flight, the student leads the postflight briefing discussion of the tasks listed in the Post-flight Briefing mission table. [Figure 4]

The student and instructor evaluate student performance, discuss their respective findings, agree on an outcome (E, P, M)* and enter it in the table. For a student to satisfactorily complete the les-son, the actual outcome entered for each task must meet or exceed the desired outcome. If the student is not advancing as expected regarding ADM skills, the instructor coaches the student in areas that need improvement.

Note that the last three rows of the table are not evaluated but must still be recorded as completed.

Student Total Time to Date—Record the time here and on the back of the Flight Syllabus tab.

Study Assignment—To prepare for the next flight lesson, the student must review the course materials that are listed in the study assignment. Reference materials typically include the ground lessons that are most closely associated with the tasks and maneuvers that are introduced in the flight lesson.

Flight Simulation Device or Flight Training DeviceIf your pilot school has a flight simulation device, flight training device (FTD), or aviation training device (ATD), you might be able to use it to meet some of the required hours of training. The credit varies, depending on the course that the student is enrolled in. If you plan to use a simulator, FTD, or ATD, be sure to include this information in your training course outline.

Student Stage ChecksStage checks evaluate the student’s accomplishments during each stage of training. Conducting stage checks is the responsibility of the chief instructor. However, the chief instructor may delegate authority for conducting stage and end-of-course checks to the assistant chief instructor or the designated check instructor. This procedure provides close supervision of training and can provide another perspective on a student’s progress. The stage check also enables the chief instructor to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructors.To ensure that a student has mastered the skills needed to progress to the next building block of training, the student must successfully complete the stage check before moving on to the next stage.

Pilot BriefingsThe syllabus might include pilot briefings, depending on the special needs of that course. Refer to the flight syllabus or time allocation table. Pilot briefing material is located in the instructor guide for a course. Each briefing consists of a series of questions on the subject associated with the briefing. Answers, when appropriate, are included. Students are given the questions (not the answers) before the briefing so that they can research the material and gain the most benefit from the briefing.

Instructors conduct the briefings as private tutoring sessions in a comfortable classroom or office and provide ample time to discuss every question to ensure that the student understands the key points. Ideally, instructors conduct the briefings during the preflight orientation for the associated flight.

Part 61 TrainingThe syllabus is designed to meet all the requirements of 14 CFR Part 141 for the course in which the student is enrolled. The syllabus also can be adapted to meet the aeronautical knowledge, proficiency, and aeronautical experience requirements of 14 CFR Part 61. When using the syllabus for Part 61 training, you must ensure that the total flight and ground training requirements for that certificate, as well as the aeronautical experience requirements, are met under Part 61.

Credit for Previous TrainingAccording to 14 CFR 141.77, when a student transfers from one FAA-approved school to another approved school, hours of training obtained in the previous school’s approved course may be ap-plied to satisfy up to 50 percent of the curriculum requirements of the receiving school. The receiv-ing school determines the amount of credit to be allowed based on a proficiency test, knowledge test, or both. A student who transfers from a non-Part 141 flight school may receive credit for up to 25 percent of the curriculum requirements for knowledge and experience, and must also be tested by the receiving school. In addition, the previous provider of the training must certify the amount and kind of training given, including the result of each stage check and end-of-course test, if ap-plicable. Place copies of these records (if applicable) behind the Student Information tab.



How to Evaluate Student PerformanceUsing the Desired Outcome Levels

Tip—Remove one of the flight lessons from the binder and use it for reference as you read this section.

This pilot course incorporates the latest FAA recommendations and industry practices related to learner-centered grading and scenario-based training. (You can read more about how Jeppesen implements these concepts later in this section). Your students are graded using desired outcome levels. You use two grading scales for two types of desired outcome levels:

Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) — For evaluating the student’s ability to make sensible decisions, manage risk, learn from their mistakes, and effectively self-evaluate their performance during the lesson.

Maneuvers and Procedures — For evaluating technical competency and academic knowledge of tasks.

Each flight lesson includes tables where instructors record student outcomes and compare them to desired outcomes. These tables serve as checklists to ensure that the student has met the comple-tion standards for a lesson. The following tables explain the grading scales for the two types of desired outcome levels.

Use the ADM desired outcomes levels [Figure 5] to complete the Preflight Briefing, Introduce and Review, Aeronautical Decision Making, and Postflight Briefing tables of the flight lessons. Also, circle these grades in the ADM columns of Introduce/Review tables to indicate how well the student made effective decisions and managed risk during the performance of the task.

Figure 5. ADM desired outcome levels

Desired Outcome Levels — Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)Outcome Level Requirements and ConsiderationsExplain (E) The student correctly identifies the mission and scenario risks, but

requires instructor assistance to apply concepts for managing risk and making effective decisions.

The instructor prompts the student to identify risks and make effective decisions.

Practice (P) The student uses risk management, SRM, and the ADM process to make and implement effective decisions regarding the mission and scenario tasks with minimal instructor assistance.

The instructor provides coaching to assist the student in correcting instructor-identified errors.

Manage/Decide (M) The student uses risk management, SRM, and the ADM process to identify possible courses of action, and then make and implement effective decisions regarding the mission and scenario tasks without instructor assistance.

The instructor does not need to provide assistance to ensure safe completion of the flight.

Before conducting solo flight, the student must meet the Manage/Decide desired outcome level for the tasks to be accomplished during the solo lesson.



Use the Maneuvers and Procedures desired outcomes [Figure 6] to complete the Introduce/Review table (other than the ADM columns) in each flight lesson.

Figure 6. Maneuvers and procedures desired outcome levels

Desired Outcome Levels — Maneuvers and ProceduresOutcome Level Requirements and Considerations

Describe (D)

Comparable to the Rote level of learningThe student demonstrates understanding of the physical characteristics and cognitive elements of the mission and scenario tasks. The instructor provides significant assistance to ensure the successful completion of the task.Although it is not used as a desired outcome for the mission and scenario tasks, a column is provided in the Mission tables for recording this outcome level if the student does not achieve the Explain level.

Explain (E)

Comparable to the Understanding level of learning.The student demonstrates understanding of the underlying concepts and principles of the mission and scenario tasks and the correct methods to perform these tasks.

This desired outcome is used when the task is introduced.

Practice (Pr)

Comparable to the Application level of learning.The student successfully plans and completes the mission and scenario tasks with minimal guidance from the instructor.The instructor provides coaching to assist the student in correcting instructor-identified errors. This desired outcome is used when a task is reviewed in a lesson that occurs after the task was introduced. Task standards change to meet the Practice outcome based on the completion standards for the lesson.

Perform (Pe)

Comparable to the Correlation level of learningThe student demonstrates proficiency in performing the mission and scenario tasks without instructor assistance. At no time is the successful completion of the task in doubt.The student identifies and corrects errors without instructor assistance.This desired outcome is used to signify that the student completes the mission and scenario tasks to the standards outlined in the current Private Pilot Practical Test Standards (PTS).

Not Observed (NO)

The task was not attempted or required during the lesson.



Elements of SRMThe practical test standards explicitly require students to demonstrate effective single-pilot resource management (SRM), which is an adaptation of crew resource management (CRM) principles to the single-pilot cockpit. Although the SRM skills as listed in the PTS overlap each other significantly, the concepts encompassed by SRM can generally be classified into six skills as follows:

1. Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)

A. Decision making process (2 models)

(i) DECIDE model

(a) Detect the problem.

(b) Estimate the need to react.

E. Automation Levels. Reduction of automation use, including “hand-flying.”

(i) After an unexpected mode change

(ii) After a change in flight plan or clearance

F. Maintaining “hand-flying” skills

The considerations that are listed in the SRM element of each flight lesson are normally classified into the six SRM areas according to these guidelines.



Implementing Scenario-Based TrainingFlight lessons have evolved from task-based training (which focused on separate maneuvers and procedures) to scenario-based training, which recognizes that each flight is a combination of many tasks and decisions. The scenario-based curriculum incorporates concepts such as risk manage-ment, single-pilot resource management (SRM), and the Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process into every lesson.

Professional flight instructors skillfully incorporated scenarios into their training long before the FAA formalized the concept. However, because the FAA practical test standards now specifically evalu-ate SRM and ADM, Jeppesen pilot courses include specific guidance for teaching these mental skills.

Tasks designated for each flight lesson are scripted into scenarios that enable students to: • Relate learning individual training maneuvers to arriving at a destination safely. • Practice risk assessment, SRM, and ADM process during each flight lesson. • Understand that problems can have multiple solutions. • Make and implement decisions and observe the impact of their actions. • Consider “what if” problems that provide opportunities to make decisions in a wide variety of flight situations. • Measure success by their ability to make and implement effective decisions. • Recognize that effective decisions sometimes require them to pursue a different plan or overturn a previous decision. • Recognize and interrupt a chain of missed opportunities and increasing risk. • Understand that their options narrow as the flight progresses.

Although it is not always possible to design a scenario for every flight lesson that consists purely of skills practice, a realistic scenario should be incorporated into any flight lesson for which it makes sense. Many of the Jeppesen courses include sample scenarios in the online flight lessons, which you can use or modify to create your own scenarios.

Learner-Centered GradingLearner-centered grading and scenario-based training together are a powerful combination for developing effective decision-making skills. Learner-centered grading includes two parts—student self-assessment and a detailed debriefing by the instructor.

The purpose of the self-assessment is to stimulate growth in students’ thought processes and enhance their ability to plan and conduct tasks in the context of a scenario during flight lessons. After each flight, the student and instructor independently evaluate the tasks performed and the decisions made during the flight. Then, the instructor and student compare evaluations and, if ap-propriate, discuss alternate methods, solutions, and techniques that the student could have used to produce a more favorable outcome to the lesson.

Learner-centered grading provides an additional opportunity for students to practice solving prob-lems, making decisions, and evaluating the quality of those decisions.

Instrument Rating Syllabus

Record of Major Changes Date DescriptionApril 2010 Original

June 2013Updated flight lessons to reflect changes to the Instrument online course. Edited introductory content for clarity.







Preface

This syllabus meets the requirements of 14 CFR 141 Appendix C for preparing your students for an Instrument rating. You can also use it to prepare an instrument pilot applicant under 14 CFR Part 61, Subpart B, if you ensure that all the Part 61 minimum time requirements are met.

The syllabus is an abstract, or digest, of the course of training. Instructors must also refer to the pertinent sections of the regulations and practical test standards when conducting the course. Doing so ensures that all aeronautical knowledge areas, flight proficiency, and experience requirements have been included during flight training and are documented in appropriate records. The terminology for maneuvers and procedures listed in the syllabus is aligned with the tasks that are published in the FAA Instrument Pilot Practical Test Standards.

The syllabus has separate ground- and flight-training courses, which should be taught concurrently if possible. The ground-training syllabus is divided into three stages and contains a total of 30 ground lessons, which includes three stage exams and an end-of-course exam. The flight training syllabus also is divided into three stages and contains a total of 29 flight lessons, which includes three stage checks and an end-of-course flight check.

A stage check occurs at the end of each stage of flight training, and a stage exam occurs at the end of each stage of ground training. The end-of-course exam and the end-of-course flight check are completed at the end of Stage III of the ground and flight courses. The applicant must complete, or receive credit for, all of the ground and flight lessons in the Instrument Rating Syllabus.

Instrument Rating CourseNote—For general information about how to use the documents in this record folder, please refer to the information at the beginning of this binder.

The Instrument Rating Course contains ground and flight syllabi that can be conducted concurrently or as separate courses. The Time Allocation tables (Tables 4, 5, and 6 later in this section) provide a logical sequence for the ground and flight lessons when the courses are presented concurrently.

Ground TrainingTip—Remove the Instrument Rating Time Allocation tables, which begin on page vii from the binder and refer to them as you read this section.

The Instrument Rating ground-training syllabus contains three stages. As indicated in the Time Allocation tables, the ground-training stages coincide with the flight stages.

Ground LessonsOutlines for all Instrument Rating ground lessons are filed behind the Ground Syllabus tab. Each lesson outline contains a Lesson Objective and Completion Standards. The Lesson References portion guides students and instructors to the appropriate sections of the Jeppesen Instrument/Commercial textbook or eBook. For some lessons, the FAR/AIM manual or eBook is the lesson reference. The Content section lists the topics that students complete online when taking this lesson in the Jeppesen Learning Center.

Stage ExamsThree stage exams evaluate student understanding of the knowledge areas within a stage. The time for the stage exams is counted in the ground-training time for the Instrument Rating Course. Even when students take these exams online, the exams need to be proctored by an instructor. Therefore, the instructor and student must make arrangements to ensure that an instructor is present when the stage exam is administered. Successful completion of each stage exam and a review of each incorrect response are required before the student can progress to the next stage.

End-of-Course ExamWhen all ground lessons are complete, the student then takes the End-of-Course Exam. As with the stage exams, the End-of-Course Exam must be proctored by an instructor. Following the exam, the instructor assigns each student appropriate subject areas for review. After a thorough review, the student should take the FAA Instrument Rating airman knowledge test as soon as possible.

Use of Aviation Training DevicesAppropriately-certified aviation training devices (ATDs) may be used for some of the required flight training in the Instrument Rating course. In addition, an ATD is an excellent classroom training tool that can assist an instructor in achieving specific instructional objectives. With an ATD, you can introduce many of the procedural aspects of flight training in a ground-training phase. If it is properly integrated into the ground-training program, the ATD enhances navigation systems knowledge and procedural understanding by applicants before they practice the procedures in the airplane.




ii

In addition to skill enhancement, the introduction of IFR procedures in the ATD has other advantages for both student and instructor. The advantages include fewer distractions, more versatility in lesson presentation, repositioning, freeze functions, emergency training, and the ability to control the environment of the training session and permit the student to concentrate on the areas that the instructor wants to emphasize.

The use of an ATD is at the discretion of the school, and should be flexible in an Instrument Rating ground-training course. Depending on the capabilities of your school’s ATD, it is an appropriate teaching aid for the following ground lessons: GL 3 – Analog Flight Instruments GL 4 – Digital Fight Instruments GL 5 – Attitude Instrument Flying GL 6 – Instrument Navigation GL 9 – ATC Clearances GL 14 – Holding Procedures GL 18 – Approach Procedures GL 19 – GPS Approach Procedures GL 20 – ILS Approach Procedures GL 21 – VOR Approach Procedures GL 22 – NDB Approach Procedures

Flight TrainingThe Instrument Rating flight-training syllabus, like the ground-training syllabus, contains three stages. Each stage builds on previous learning; therefore, the stages should be completed in sequence.

Stage I emphasizes basic IFR flight operations. The student will learn precise airplane attitude control by instrument reference and gain greater competence in the use of navigation systems.This stage is complete when the student can demonstrate precise airplane attitude control by full and partial panel instrument reference. In addition, the student will demonstrate accurate use of navigation systems by maintaining positional awareness at all times.

Stage II introduces and trains the student in holding patterns and instrument approaches, including circling and missed approach procedures. The student will learn to correctly perform holding patterns and accurate instrument approaches using full- and partial-panel techniques. This stage is complete when the student can demonstrate accuracy and proficiency in holding patterns and all required instrument approach procedures.

Stage III introduces the student to IFR cross-country procedures and increases the student’s proficiency to the level required of an instrument-rated pilot. This stage is complete when the student can demonstrate all IFR maneuvers and procedures at the proficiency level of an instrument-rated pilot, as outlined in the current FAA Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards.

Student Stage ChecksThis Instrument Rating Course includes three stage checks that must be administered by the chief instructor. However, the chief instructor may delegate authority for conducting stage and end-of-course checks to the assistant chief instructor or the designated check instructor. Students must pass each stage check before progressing to the next stage, or to the End-Of-Course Exam.

Pilot BriefingsThe following three pilot briefings are also integrated into the flight syllabus:1. Introduction to Approaches (before FL 15)2. IFR Cross-Country (before FL 24)3. Instrument Rating Practical Test (before FL 27)Complete the briefing during the preflight orientation for the appropriate flight. Correct placement of the briefings is indicated in the Time Allocation tables, which begin on page vii.

Use of a Simulator, FTD, or ATDSome flight training time required under 14 CFR Part 141, Appendix C, may be conducted in an approved simulator, flight training device (FTD), or aviation training device (ATD).

A simulator is distinguished from an FTD by the simulator’s motion-cueing system. You can use a simulator for up to 50 percent of the required instrument flight training time.

An FTD is distinguished from most ATDs by the FTD’s full-size replica of the instruments, equipment, panels, and controls of an aircraft, or set of aircraft, in an open flight deck area or in an enclosed cockpit. You can use an FTD for up to 40 percent of the required instrument flight training time.

An ATD, depending on whether it is basic or advanced, is not required to have the physical controls present in a simulator or FTD, and typically does not provide a precise replication of the cockpit of a specific type of aircraft. Nonetheless, the FAA recognizes that significant developments in computer simulation and visual graphic processing ability have provided the enabling technology for ATDs that are capable of providing significant flight instruction benefits. Therefore, recent changes in the regulations allow qualifying devices to be approved for flight training. You can find information about gaining FAA approval of basic and advanced aviation training devices in AC 61-136, and your inspector can approve the use of a qualified ATD for up to 10 percent of the required instrument flight training time.

A combination of these devices may be used for flight training; however, note the following restrictions:

• The total time in all of these devices may not count toward more than 50 percent of the required flight training time.

• The FTD and ATD time together may not count toward more than 40 percent of the required flight training time.

• The ATD time may not count toward more than 10 percent of the required flight training time.

Part 61 TrainingThe Instrument Syllabus is designed to meet all the requirements of 14 CFR Part 141, Appendix C; it can also be adapted to meet the aeronautical knowledge, proficiency, and experience (airplane, single-engine) requirements of 14 CFR Part 61. Table 1 shows the minimum training times under Part 141 compared to Part 61.

Requirement 14 CFR Part 141 Appendix C 14 CFR 61.65

Ground training 30 hours Minimum hours not specified

Instrument flight training(Instrument flight time)

35 hours15 hours

(40 hours)

Cross-country (Flight experience as PIC, including time apart from the instrument course)

Minimum hours not specified 50 hours

Table 1. Part 141 and Part 61 Minimum Training Times

Adapting this syllabus to Part 61 training requires only a slight modification of individual flight lesson times to ensure that the applicant has the minimum 40 hours of instrument time. If you provide the 10 hours of dual cross-country recommended in this course, you must verify that the student has an additional 40 hours of cross-country PIC flight experience to meet the 50-hour requirement.

The ground-training requirements under Part 61 specify that an applicant for a knowledge test be required to have a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor who conducted the training or reviewed the applicant’s home study course. The endorsement must indicate satisfactory completion of the ground instruction or home study course required for the certificate or rating sought. A home study course for the purposes of Part 61 is a course of study in the aeronautical knowledge areas specified in 14 CFR 61.65(b), and organized by a pilot school, publisher, flight or ground instructor, or by the student. The Jeppesen Instrument Pilot course easily satisfies this requirement. As a practical consideration, students seeking pilot certification under Part 61 should receive some formal ground training, either in the classroom or from an authorized flight or ground instructor.

Credit for Previous TrainingAccording to 14 CFR 141.77, when a student transfers from one FAA-approved school to another approved school, course credits obtained in the previous course of training may be credited for up to 50 percent of the curriculum requirements by the receiving school. However, the receiving school must determine the amount of credit to be allowed based upon a proficiency test or knowledge test, or both, conducted by the receiving school. A student who enrolls in a course of training may receive credit for 25 percent of the curriculum requirements for knowledge and experience gained in a non-Part 141 flight school, and the credit must be based upon a proficiency test, a knowledge test, or both, and be conducted by the receiving school. The amount of credit for previous training allowed, whether received from an FAA-approved school or from another source, is determined by the receiving school. In addition, the previous provider of the training must certify the kind and amount of training given, and the result of each stage check and end-of-course test, if applicable.
