Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot displays an understanding of how to perform rate climbs and descents, calibrate the turn coordinator for timed turns, and make turns to headings by use of a timed turn or the magnetic compass. Additionally, the pilot will demonstrate increased proficiency in attitude instrument flying. The pilot will be able to maintain the desired altitude, ±150 ft.; airspeed, ±10 kt.; and heading, ±15°.
