Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot can demonstrate an understanding of GPS orientation, the method used to track a GPS course, and the method used to intercept, track, and fly an arc using GPS. Additionally, the pilot will demonstrate increased proficiency in VOR procedures. The pilot will be able to maintain the desired altitude, ±100 ft.; airspeed, ±10 kt.; heading, ±10°; and arc, ±2 NM; and to track a VOR radial with no more than a 3/4-scale deflection of the CDI or within 10° in the case of an RMI.
