Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

1. AIM
LESSON 1
FULL PANEL MANOEUVRES – PART 1
The aim of this lesson is to teach the student how to interpret the instruments on the instrument panel
and to demonstrate that the attitudes observed in visual flight can be determined from the flight
instruments.
DEFINITION
The basic manoeuvres, such as climbing, straight and level, descending and turning, which are
normally carried out with reference to the natural horizon, are done with sole reference to the normal
flight instruments in the aircraft.
2. WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR IS TO TEACH
i. Physiological factors relating to instrument flying.
ii. Aerodynamic factors relating to instrument flying.
iii. The flight instruments, their limitations and layout.
iv. Basic scanning techniques.
v. Performance instruments and control/displacement instruments and how attitude ± power gives
performance.
vi. The relationship between the horizon and the basic manoeuvres.
vii. The relationship between the Artificial Horizon (A/H) and the same basic manoeuvres.
viii. Importance of Change, Check, Hold, Adjust and Trim (CCHAT).
3. WHY IS IT BEING TAUGHT
To enable the student to appreciate the relationship between attitudes of the aircraft as displayed on
the Artificial Horizon and the various basic manoeuvres. Failure to master this basic lesson will hamper
the student’s progress in all future lessons on instrument flying.
HOW THIS EXERCISE APPLIES TO FLYING
All instrument flying requires an ability to carry out the basic manoeuvres with sole reference to the
flight instruments.
