AIRSHIPS Basic Instrument Flight Module Training Course

(a)This 10 hours module is focused on the basics of flying by sole reference to instruments, including limited panel and unusual attitude recovery.

(b)All exercises may be performed in an FNPT I or II or an FFS, for a maximum of 5 hours. If instrument flight training is in VMC, a suitable means of simulating IMC for the student should be used.

(c)A BITD may be used for the exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.

(d)The use of the BITD is subject to the following:

(1)the training should be complemented by exercises on an airship;

(2)the record of the parameters of the flight must be available;

(3)an FI(As) or IRI(As) should conduct the instruction.

EXERCISES

(e)Exercise 1:

(1)basic instrument flying without 0:30 hours external visual cues;

(2)horizontal flight;

(3)maintaining straight and level flight;

(4)turns in level flight, left and right;

(5)rollout onto predetermined headings.

(f)Exercise 2:

(1)Repetition of exercise 1; 0:45 hours additionally climbing and descending

(2)maintaining heading and speed;

(3)transition to horizontal flight;

(4)climbing and descending turns.

(g)Exercise 3: Instrument pattern: 0:45 hours

(1)start exercise, decelerate to approach speed, approach configuration;

(2)initiate standard turn (left or right);

(3)rollout on opposite heading, maintain new heading for 1 minute;

(4)standard turn, descend with given rate (for example 500 ft/min);

(5)rollout on initial heading, maintain descent (for example 500 ft/min) and new heading for 1 minute;

(6)transition to horizontal flight (for example 1 000 ft below initial level);

(7)initiate go-around;

(8)climb at best rate of climb speed.

(h)Exercise 4:

(1)repetition of exercise 1; 0:45 hours

(2)recovery from unusual attitudes.

(i)Exercise 5 Repetition of exercise 4. 0:45 hours

(j)Exercise 6

(1)radio navigation using VOR, NDB 0:45 hours or, if available, VDF;

(2)interception of predetermined QDM, QDR.

(k)Exercise 7

(1)repetition of exercise 1; 0:45 hours

(2)recovery from unusual attitudes.

(l)Exercise 8

(1)repetition of exercise 1; 0:45 hours

(2)turns, level change and recovery from unusual attitudes with simulated failure of the artificial horizon or directional gyro.

(m)Exercise 9 Repetition of exercises (6) and (8). 4:15 hours
