Instrument Lab

GOAL

This lab will prepare you for flying with low or no visibility! You will now learn a new set of flight rules: Instrument Flight Rules a.k.a. IFR. Ground knowledge will be crucial for this lab as everything you do will be under an instrument flight plan and will be regulated. Your FAR/AIM is your best friend to make it through this lab.
