Instrument Flying Flashcards
Instrument cross check
- scan
- logical or systematic observation of instrument panel
Radial check
Spending 80 to 90% of time on attitude indicator
Common cross check errors
- fixation, applying full attention on a single instrument .
- omission, exclusion of one or more secondary instrument for given task.
Emphasis, relying on an instrument that you really understand. Even when it provides inadequate information for given task.
Instrument interpretation
- Understanding the limitations of each instrument, knowing which other instrument to cross check to complet picture.
- results from cross checking and interpreting the flight instrument.
Control and Performance Method
- Control, Performance, Navigation
- use control instruments by accurately establishing a specific attitude and power setting.
- performance instruments will indicate how the airplane will responds to altitude and power setting.
- navigations displays where the airplane is.
