  1. Instrument Flying A Brief Overview Written for the Notre Dame Pilot Initiative By the Pilots of the University of Notre Dame “Teaching the Science, Inspiring the Art, Producing Aviation Candidates!”

  2. Quote "There will be a new industry, and we are just now in the beginning. I will predict that in twelve or fifteen years there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people, that fly and see that black sky." Burt Rutan

  3. Roadmap • Overview • Navigation • Airways • Holding Patterns • Approaches • Regulations

  4. Intro • Purpose • To fly in IMC • Greater proficiency • Privileges • File/Fly an IFR flight plan • Fly in IMC • Fly in Class A • Fly SVFR at night

  5. Intro • Requirements • 50 hours cross-country PIC • 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument • One cross country flight under IFR

  6. Intro • Requirements • 50 hours cross-country PIC • 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument • One cross country flight under IFR

  7. Driving On-Ramp Highway Off-Ramp Flying SID (DP) Airway STAR Basics

  8. Navigation • Point-to-Point (Airway) Flying: • VOR • Very-High Frequency Omnidirectional Range • NBD • Nondirectional Radio Beacon • LORAN • GPS • Direct Routing • GPS • INS

  9. Airways • Include airspace within 4nm of each side of centerline • Victor • Low Altitude – 1,200AGL – 17,999MSL • Jet • High Altitude – 18,000MSL – FL450

  10. Altitudes • Minimum En Route Altitude (MEA) • Ensures navigation signal reception and adequate obstacle clearance • Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude (MOCA) • Provides obstacle clearance

  11. Holding Patterns • Reasons • ATC Delays • Weather • Airport Closed • Parts

  12. Instrument Approaches • Precision – Lateral and Vertical Guidance • ILS • MLS • PAR • GPS • Non-Precision – Lateral Guidance Only • LOC • VOR • NDB • GPS • SDF • LDA • ASR

  13. ILS • Instrument Landing System • “Crown Jewel” • Components • Localizer (lateral guidance) • Glideslope (vertical guidance) • Marker beacons

  14. ILS

  15. Instrument Approach Charts • NACO (Government) • Jeppesen

  16. Regulations • Currency • May not fly IFR or in IMC unless within the past 6 months you have flown: • 6 instrument approaches • Holding procedures • Intercepting and tracking of courses • If not met, you have 6 months to become current • If 12 months pass, you must pass an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) • Safety Pilot

  17. Communications Failure • All flights should be planned in anticipation of two-way radio failure • Route • Assigned • Vectored • Expected • Filed • Altitude • Assigned • Minimum for Flight • Expected
