Most of these checks can even be done as the airplane is sitting at the gate because they are minimally invasive, require less tools, and take fewer maintenance personnel. Depending on the maintenance specifications required by the FAA for that airplane, these checks commonly happen after 24-60 hours of flight time.

There’s a reason why basic airplane attitude instrument flying comes first in any Instrument curriculum – it’s the foundation for everything else you’ll do in IFR flying. Within the normal speed range of an airplane, there are many combinations of power and pitch which will maintain altitude at different airspeeds.

Not only are we making checks on equipment and systems, but we’re also confirming our proficiency to fly the airplane. Before you start checking for correct operation of the systems, you need to verify that the airplane is airworthy.

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into the turn. The pilot’s job is to prevent the airplane from banking too quickly or too far. In our example, the right wing has more lift, and thus more drag, than the left wing as the airplane rolls. Glance at your altimeter.

Good luck trying to find, let alone rent an airplane for the flight test: “An applicant will provide an aircraft in which celestial observations can be taken in all directions. Minimum equipment shall include a table for plotting, a drift meter or absolute altimeter, an instrument for taking visual bearings, and a radio direction finder.”)

This necessitated slowing the airplane down to leave the vertical space to descend another 2,000’ to reach the initial approach fix (IAF) at 2,000′ I requested a descent to the IAF altitude of 2,000’ but was only cleared to 3,000’.

The local altimeter setting is 29.65, the temperature is 25°C, and we have a 9-knot headwind. Subtract the altimeter setting from 29.92, multiply it by 1,000, and add that to the field elevation. Airplanes with higher wing loading may need power all the way until the flare. Our imaginary destination airport is at 1,500 feet MSL.

You don’t want an incorrect altimeter setting to cause an airspace incursion. This puts them at risk of descending through the airspace floor. Consider keeping a 500-foot vertical and two-to-three-mile lateral margin from the airspace boundary. To avoid conflicts, follow the VFR cruising altitudes laid out in 14 CFR § 91.159.
