Instrument flight rules

Magnetic Compass One of the oldest and simplest instruments for indicating direction is the magnetic compass.

It is also one of the basic instruments required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 14 CFR, Part 91, for both VFR and IFR flight.

A magnet is a piece of material, usually a metal containing iron, which attracts and holds lines of magnetic flux.

Regardless of size, every magnet has two poles, north and south.

Other Inspection Programs The annual and 100-hour inspection requirements do not apply to large, over 12,500 pounds, airplanes, turbojets, or turbo-propeller-powered multi-engine airplanes, or to aircraft for which the owner complies with a progressive inspection program.

Details of these requirements may be determined by reference to 14 CFR Section 43.11 and 14 CFR Part 91 Subpart E and by inquiring at a local FSDO.

Altimeter System Inspection 14 CFR Section 91.411 requires that the altimeter, encoding altimeter, and related system be tested and inspected in the preceding 24 months before operated in controlled airspace under instrument flight rules, IFR.

Transponder Inspection 14 CFR Section 91.413 requires that before a transponder can be used under 14 CFR Section 91.215A, it shall be tested and inspected within the preceding 24 months.

It also defines the eligibility, aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, as well as training and testing requirements for each type of pilot certificate issued.

14 CFR Part 91 provides guidance in the areas of general flight rules, visual flight rules, VFR, and instrument flight rules, IFR, while 14 CFR Part 43 covers aircraft maintenance, preventative maintenance, rebuilding, and alterations.

Primary Locations of the FAA The FAA headquarters are in Washington, D.C., and there are nine regional offices strategically located across the United States.

The agency's two largest field facilities are the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, MMAC, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the William J. Hughes Technical Center, WJHTC, in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Instrument Flying Handbook The Instrument Flying Handbook is designed for use by instrument flight instructors and pilots preparing for instrument rating tests.

Instructors find this handbook a valuable training aid as it includes basic reference materials for knowledge testing and instrument flight training.

Instrument Procedures Handbook The Instrument Procedures Handbook is designed as a technical reference for professional pilots who operate under IFR in the NAS and expands on information contained in the Instrument Flying Handbook.

And as with my recent flight training, many parts of the story now take on new meanings that I think I kind of want to start talking about and share.

Specifically, if you read accounts of the crash, you'll see that the crash happened during a circling approach in low IFR conditions, which five years ago would just be worse to me, but these days it triggers a whole bunch of words and thoughts, some of which are very much red flags.

So let me explain how two astronauts ended up in this deadly situation.

And while a test pilot with thousands of hours of flight time wasn't able to handle landing an aircraft that is used to train new pilots for even faster and more complex aircraft.

And this is why I'm creating this podcast.

This podcast will be your audio ground school.

And just another way part-time pilot is making flight training easier and more consumable for you.

So with over 2,000 students and counting that have used our content to pass the FAA Private Pilot Exams, I hope that you can use this podcast to become the next student to do so.

So thank you, and I hope you enjoy listening to the Part-Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast.

Hey everyone, it's Nick from Part-Time Pilot, your host of the Audio Ground School Podcast.

Welcome, and before we get started, I just want to mention that this Audio Ground School Podcast is completely free, and every single week we are releasing a new private pilot online ground school audio lesson and a new IFR online ground school audio lesson.

But if you don't want to wait every single week for that new lesson and you want every single lesson included in our private pilot or IFR online ground schools, you want the complete ground school in audio, you can do that one of two ways.

So you did it all night long.

So you'd be like the guy in the coat closet, or you'd be the guy in one alpha, or you'd be the guy flying with an IFR, you know, shield over you.

With the hood on? Oh, my God.

Yes.

One time when we did go down there, Beach Sierra took off and it was overcast, but we were good.

I was on an IFR flight plan and coming back and ran smack dab into a very bad snowstorm.

When at that point, it was 10 minutes in the snow and we're turning on...

It was more
