| IFR departures are one of the most poorly-understood and under-taught topics in IFR flight. The process of getting safely from the surface to the safety of the en-route IFR structure, while avoiding surrounding obstacles, can be daunting. IFR airports can have many different departure procedures. Do you know which one you can expect?
In this Instrument Ground School refresher, CFI Brian Eliot teaches the principles behind IFR departures and the corresponding procedures. He will identify the sources for these procedures and review the critical safety items, as well as what to expect in practice. If you want a thorough review of this subject, you will want to tune in for this session. This program is a must for pilots working on their instrument rating, or working to stay current with instrument departures. |
