Objective: To review procedures and maneuvers covered previously. Additionally, the pilot will plan and depart on a VFR cross-country flight so the instructor can evaluate the pilot’s proficiency with basic navigation, lost procedures, and diversion to an alternate airport.

Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot demonstrates increased proficiency in planning and flying a VFR cross-country flight. The pilot will be able to maintain the desired altitude, ±100 ft.; airspeed, ±10 kt.; and heading, ±10°, and verify the airplane’s position within 2 NM of the flight planned route at all times
