What can you do with an instrument rating
An instrument rating is added to your private or commercial pilot certificate, permitting you to fly by
reference to instruments under instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or on an IFR flight plan.
What are the compass errors?
* varation, deviation, magnetic dip, and turning and acceleration error
*UNOS
under shoot north over shoot south

T- Transponder (24 Calendar months)
E- Elt (12 months)
S- Static system (24 calendar Months)
Pitot Static System
Measures temperature, pitot and static pressures surrounding the aircraft.
- Airspeed Indicator
uses both ram air and static air
- VSI
-Altimeter
Gyroscopic Instruments
Turn Coordinator (precession)
Heading Indicator. (rigidity in space)
Attitude Indicator( rigidity in space)
How does a gyroscope work
A gyro is a spiny disk that can maintain its position an orientation
- Precession
- Rigidity in Space
What is the AHRS
Attitude Heading Reference System
What does the AHRS system accomplish?
A computer that combines all the gyro instruments and puts it on one screen
Air Data Computer (ADC)
An aircraft computer that receives and processes pitot pressure, static pressure, and temperature to
calculate very precise altitude, indicated airspeed, true airspeed, and air temperature.
, what are VOR's
Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range
that operate through line of sight
You can check VORs with BAD VAG
B- Bench Check +/- 4
A- Airborne Check +/- 6
D- Dual Check +/- 4
V- VOT Check +/- 4
A- Airways +/-6
G- ground +/- 4
3 Types of VORs?
Terminal
Low
High
IFR: Alternate airport 123
1 hr before to 1hr after ETA forecasted wx less than 2000 ft ceiling and/or 3sm vis
IFR minimum fuel requirements
fuel from departure to destination fuel to an alternate 45 minutes of fuel at cruise power
What is a Global Positioning System
Satellite-based system for determining the absolute location of places or geographic features.
What can we do with 3 satellites
Get our Latitude and longitudinal
What can we do with 4 satellites
How far we are above the ground
What does it do with Rain GPS
you still have 4 satellites but it montiers the integrity of that 4th one and replaces it, if it goes bad
What does WAAS do?
Provides a more accurate ideal of where we are 6 satellites
what does a DME do
is a radio navigation technology that measures the slant range (distance) between an aircraft and a
ground station
2 methods of Instrument scan
Method 1 -Primary and Supporting
Method 2- Control and Performance
