Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot demonstrates an understanding of the skills required to maintain airplane control while conducting partial-panel attitude instrument flight. Additionally, the pilot will demonstrate increased proficiency in constant rate climbs and descents, timed turns, and magnetic compass turns. The pilot will be able to maintain the desired altitude, ±150 ft.; airspeed, ±10 kt.; heading, ±15°; and climb/descent rate, ±200 fpm; and to roll out on the desired heading, ±15°.
