Syllabus Introduction Course Objective: The objective of this syllabus is to train students to earn an Instrument Rating with an Airplane category and a Single-Engine Land class rating. Entry Prerequisites: Before beginning flight training, the student should have a private pilot certificate with an airplane single-engine land rating, as well as at least 31.6 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot-in-command. Additionally, the student should have at least 3.0 hours of simulated instrument flight time (this should have been accomplished during flight training towards the private pilot certificate). If the student does not have the cross-country flight time you may incorporate more cross-country flights into Stage 3 of this syllabus to make up for the deficiency. Course Training Standards: The training standards for all flight maneuvers and aeronautical knowledge areas in this syllabus are specified in the instrument rating Practical Test Standards (PTS). FAR Part 61 Operations: This syllabus was designed for use in flight training conducted under Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). As such, the minimum flight time requirements for cross-country flight time and simulated instrument time which have been incorporated into this syllabus are intended to meet the requirements of FAR Part 61.65 “Instrument Rating Requirements.” However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the certified flight instructor (CFI) endorsing the student to take the practical test to ensure the student has met the requirements specified in the FARs. Syllabus Content: This syllabus consists of 30 flying lessons (40 hours of planned flight time) and 11 ground lessons (15 hours of planned ground instruction). These flight and ground lessons are separated into four distinct stages of flight training: “Stage 1: Basic Instrument Proficiency”, “Stage 2: Instrument Approaches and Holding Procedures”, “Stage 3: IFR Cross-Countries”, and “Stage 4: Checkride Preparation”. Below is a diagram of the flight and ground training included in this syllabus:

Course Administration

Conduct of Ground Training: The student should read, in entirety, the source materials cited for the ground lesson before meeting with the CFI to conduct the training. This will enhance the student’s retention of the material, and reduce the time required to complete the lesson. Conduct of Flight Training: All flight lessons in this syllabus will be flown dual. Before meeting with the CFI, the flight student should print out two copies of the flying lesson profile card (one for the instructor and the other for the student). The lesson profile cards are designed with the intent of being folded in half (along the depicted fold line) and placed on a kneeboard for reference during the flying lesson. Also, before meeting with the CFI, the student should reference appropriate sections of the Instrument Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-15B) and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for their training aircraft for any new maneuvers covered in the flight lesson. If necessary, the CFI should assist the student in finding the appropriate information in each of those publications prior to the lesson (i.e. give the student specific reading assignments prior to the lesson). During the flight lesson pre-brief the instructor should briefly explain the overall conduct of the flight lesson, as well as thoroughly explain any new maneuvers introduced in the flight. The CFI should also re-address any weak areas in the student’s performance from the previous flight lesson, and provide guidance on how to improve in those areas. During the flight lesson the instructor should demonstrate new maneuvers before allowing the student to attempt them. The instructor should always provide inflight instruction as necessary to train the student up to PTS. With regards to the instrument approach procedures incorporated into this syllabus, the instructor should ensure the student experiences a wide variety of instrument approaches (precision, non-precision, full approach procedures, vectors to final, partial panel, etc.). After the flight, the instructor should thoroughly debrief the flight student on the overall flying lesson, weak areas needing improvement (and how to improve), as well as answering any questions the student may have. Furthermore, the instructor should maintain a record of the student’s progress in the flying lessons to keep track of their progression, and serve as a means of continuity if the student should need to switch to a different instructor. Stage Checks: The “stage checks” built into the syllabus are designed with the intent of evaluating the student’s knowledge and flying proficiency for a particular stage of training. If the student exhibits satisfactory proficiency during the stage check (as specified by PTS) they will “pass”, and should be allowed to progress to the next stage of training. If they do not demonstrate adequate proficiency (i.e. “fail” a stage check) they should be administered “Remedial Training” as explained later in this section. Furthermore, although it is possible for the student to progress through the entire syllabus with only one instructor, it is desired that the stage checks be flown with an experienced instructor with whom the student doesn’t normally fly. This will facilitate an unbiased and objective evaluation of the student’s skill level. Remedial Training: If, at the end of a stage of training, the CFI administering the training determines the student is not ready to progress to the stage check he or she may administer extra remedial training, as deemed necessary, to bring the student up to proficiency standards. Furthermore, if during the conduct of a stage check, the check pilot determines a student’s performance is not up to practical test standards the stage check should be re-

5

administered following remedial training of sufficient scope to bring the student’s performance up to standards. Syllabus Flexibility: Both the flight and ground training specified in this syllabus may be altered, as required, by the CFI if he or she determines that such an alteration will enhance student training.

Specifically, with regards to flight training, the maneuvers listed in the flight training profiles may be omitted, re-ordered, or expanded as deemed necessary by the CFI. Ultimately, the intent of the flight training profiles is to provide training of sufficient scope in order for the student to perform to PTS on the maneuvers included in the stage check. If the student requires more, or less, training in certain maneuvers, before progressing to the stage check, the CFI may alter the training profiles as required. Furthermore, the flight lessons included in this syllabus may be conducted in day or night conditions.

Additionally, in regards to the flight training in this syllabus, up to 10 hours of flight training may be conducted in an FAA approved aviation training device (ATD), as opposed to an airplane. However, this training must meet the requirements specified by FAR Part 61.65(h) which are:

(1) The device is approved and authorized by the FAA; (2) An authorized instructor provides the instrument time in the device; (3) No more than 10 hours of instrument time in a flight simulator or flight training

device was credited for the instrument time requirements of this section; (4) A view-limiting device was worn by the applicant when logging instrument time in

the device; and (5) The FAA approved the instrument training and instrument tasks performed in the

device. With regards to ground training, this syllabus suggests a specific sequence of ground

lessons intermixed with the flight lessons for a particular stage of training. However, the ground lessons may be completed in advance of, or after, the flight lessons as determined necessary by the CFI. A reason for advancing forward in the ground lessons before completing the flight lessons would be poor weather (i.e. if the student and instructor have already coordinated to conduct a flight lesson, but weather conditions prevent the successful conduct of the flight lesson the instructor could administer a ground lesson instead). Another reason for advancing forward in ground lessons before flight lessons would be if the student, or CFI, has a medical condition that prevents them from flying (i.e. a sinus problem), but they are otherwise healthy enough to conduct ground lessons.

Ultimately, regardless of whether the ground and flight lessons are conducted in the exact sequence specified by the syllabus, the ground lessons for a particular stage of training should be completed before the student progresses to the stage check for that stage of training. Cost Effectiveness: This syllabus aims to significantly decrease the cost of flight training by enhancing the efficiency of the training process, as well as utilizing free and readily accessible training materials. As such, the source materials for this syllabus were derived entirely from open source government publications (the Instrument Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-15B), the Instrument Procedures Handbook (FAA-H-8261-1A), the Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards (FAA-S-8081-4E), the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR), etc.). As a result, the

6

use of this syllabus does not require the student, or CFI, to purchase any commercially produced study materials. All of the information is accessible for free from www.faa.gov. Additionally, part of the cost-effectiveness intended for this syllabus requires the flight student’s initiative to study and prepare for the ground and flight lessons by reading the source materials covered in the lessons. Overall, a well-executed and disciplined home study program will drastically reduce the billable time necessary to complete the ground lessons, as well as significantly accelerate the learning process for the flight lessons.
