Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot can demonstrate the proper GPS approach and the missed approach procedures. The pilot will demonstrate an increased proficiency in holding, VOR approaches, circling approach procedures, and landing from an instrument approach. The pilot will be able to maintain the desired altitude, ±100 ft.; airspeed, ±10 kt.; heading, ±10°; and to maintain the GPS course (including vertical guidance if WAAS-equipped) with no more than a 3/4-scale deflection of the CDI.
