Instrument Flying• Source Information

• NATOPS Instrument Flight Manual• Chapter 17 covers Attitude Instrument Flying• Information a mix of FAA instrument methods• Electronically issued publication

Instrument Flying• Source Information

• NATOPS Instrument Flight Manual• Chapter 17 covers Attitude Instrument Flying• Information a mix of FAA instrument methods• Electronically issued publication

• Instrument Flight Training Instruction• Chapter 2 covers Fundamental INAV Concepts• Includes Attitude Instrument Flying & scanning• Not as in-depth source as you would like

Instrument Flying• Source Information

• FAA Instrument Flying Handbook• Origins routed back to FAA?• Chapter 4 covers Airplane Attitude Instrument flying• Defines Attitude Instrument Flying: The control of an aircraft’s spatial

position by using instruments rather than outside visual references • Defines Several methods used to scan and fly by instruments (Control-

Performance / Primary & Supporting)

Control-Performance Method• Aircraft performance achieved by controlling aircraft

Scanning• Most basic skill in attitude instrument flying

• Also referred to as “Cross-check”

• Scanning is not just looking

• Scanning incorporates:• Knowing where to look & when to look• Interpreting (reading) the instrument• Calculating deviation from desired performance• Going back to set correction on control instruments• Re-checking performance instruments to ensure correction working

Scanning• Most basic skill in attitude instrument flying

• Also referred to as “Cross-check”

• Scanning is not just looking

• Scanning incorporates:• Knowing where to look & when to look• Interpreting (reading) the instrument• Calculating deviation from desired performance• Going back to set correction on control instruments• Re-checking performance instruments to ensure correction working

• Various BI maneuvers help improve scan• All maneuvers work basic scan rhythm (where & when) & deviations (corrections)• Timed Turns & S1 – Works deviation recognition & corrections to precise levels• Steep Turns – Works speed of scan• GCA & App Pattern – Work basic transitions & setting known Pwr/Attitude combo

Scanning Errors• Improper Scan

• Looking at/emphasizing the wrong instrument during a maneuver (omission)• Beginning to scan from control instruments before the controls are set• Moving eyes between instruments but not reading or making corrections to deviations

Scanning Errors• Improper Scan

• Looking at/emphasizing the wrong instrument during a maneuver (omission)• Beginning to scan from control instruments before the controls are set• Moving eyes between instruments but not reading or making corrections to deviations

• Slow Scan• Eye movement from scanned area to area is slow due to reading instrument or unfamiliarity of pattern• Delays returning to controls causing deviations to grow before corrections

Scanning Errors• Improper Scan

• Looking at/emphasizing the wrong instrument during a maneuver (omission)• Beginning to scan from control instruments before the controls are set• Moving eyes between instruments but not reading or making corrections to deviations

• Slow Scan• Eye movement from scanned area to area is slow due to reading instrument or unfamiliarity of pattern• Delays returning to controls causing deviations to grow before corrections

• Stagnating Scan/Fixation• Tendency to stare at one instrument for too long causing a breakdown in scan pattern & efficiency• Occurs reading instruments, trying to calculate deviations, trying to be too precise on performance instruments

• Stagnating Scan/Fixation• Tendency to stare at one instrument for too long causing a breakdown in scan pattern & efficiency• Occurs reading instruments, trying to calculate deviations, trying to be too precise on performance instruments

• Chasing Performance Instruments• Making movements with the controls while looking at a performance instrument vice setting new controls• Common error because grades are given of errors from the performance instruments

Scan Pattern• Need to spend approx. 80% (50% FTI) of time on control instruments

Scan Pattern• Need to spend approx. 80% (50% FTI) of time on control instruments

• Hub-Spoke is most common• Center of scan is the control instruments• Quick scans out to performance instruments & then back to control instruments• Others include: Selected Radial, Inverted-V, Rectangular, circular cross-checks• Glass cockpit makes scan easier than “steam gauges”

Power & Attitude Combinations• Need to know what controls to set for desired performance

Power & Attitude Combinations• Need to know what controls to set for desired performance

• Identify performance areas that are common and then figure control combination (reverse engineering)

Power & Attitude Combinations• Need to know what controls to set for desired performance

• Identify performance areas that are common and then figure control combination (reverse engineering)

• Memorize these combinations to make scanning easier• Chapter 2 Table• Chapter 5 Table• Power w/i 3% (power variable due to atmosphere or altitude)
