| IFR flying involves juggling many tasks: precise navigation, controlling the aircraft by use of the instruments, managing automation, interpreting and following arrival, approach or departure procedures, communicating and complying with ATC instructions to mention a few. In some phases of flights things can happen very fast. It is critical to stay ahead of the airplane while flying IFR. Pilots can be overwhelmed at times flying under IFR, but can it be simplified into a few simple checklists and memory aids.
San Carlos Flight Center invites Dave Kramer, an AGI and commercial pilot who will distill IFR flying down to a few checklists that can be easily memorized and can serve as a basis for IFR flights in many types of airplanes. Having a solid foundation of frequently used procedures during instrument flying can be helpful to a pilot. Flying in instrument conditions is already stressful enough and Dave will show how using these checklists can help an IFR pilot ease the workload and minimize the stress. Join us for this seminar and Dave will discuss some of the different ways one might relieve the stress while flying IMC. |
