The sample lessons are scenario-based and will allow the instructor to maximize the impact of the training with the
student, while combining a number of elements into a single flight. An example of a scenario-based training flight would
start off with an instrument departure then transition to the en-route portion of the flight. During this portion of the
flight, standard air work maneuvers may be completed, such as stalls, slow flight, performance maneuvers, etc. Once the
air work is completed, the student should transition back to instrument flight and complete the remainder of the flight
through the terminal and approach phases, as desired.
Below is a sample syllabus encompassing the avionics for the flight portion:
Objective:
a To develop the student' s ability to confidently operate GNS 530/430 equipment while operating in the National

a Each lesson is designed to take approximately 2-3 hours.
Equipment:
a GNS 530/430 Pilot' s Guides and Quick References
a Lessons

a View limiting device (Note: For the first flight or two, the student may or may not want to have the hood on to
help him/her acclimate to the cockpit environment)
a Headset (optional)
