Instrument Rating - Landing from an Instrument Approach
Lesson Plan

Introduction:

  • Objective: To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with performing procedures for a landing from an instrument approach
  • Note: For non-amphibious seaplanes, this task applies only when the applicant has immediate access to an instrument approach to a waterway
  • References: 14 CFR parts 91; AIM; FAA-H-8083-2 (Risk Management Handbook), FAA-H-8083-3 (Airplane Flying Handbook), FAA-H-8083-15, FAA-H-8083-16, FAA-H-8083-25 (Pilot Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge); POH/AFM

Attention:

  • Research a mishap case study:
  • Discuss how the initial conditions developed into an incident/accident/mishap
  • Relate similar personal experience of the same type of incident/accident/mishap

Instrument Rating - Landing from an Instrument Approach Knowledge:

The applicant demonstrates understanding of:
  • IR.VI.E.K2:

    Airport signs, markings and lighting, to include approach lighting systems
  • IR.VI.E.K3:

    Appropriate landing profiles and aircraft configurations

Instrument Rating - Landing from an Instrument Approach Risk Management:

The applicant is able to identify, assess, and mitigate risk associated with:
  • IR.VI.E.R1:

    Attempting to land from an unstable approach
  • IR.VI.E.R2:

    Flying below the glidepath
  • IR.VI.E.R3:

    Transitioning from instrument to visual references for landing
  • IR.VI.E.R4:

    Aircraft configuration for landing

Instrument Rating - Landing from an Instrument Approach Skills:

The applicant exhibits the skill to:
  • IR.VI.E.S1:

    Transition at the DA/DH, MDA, or visual descent point (VDP) to a visual flight condition, allowing for safe visual maneuvering and a normal landing
  • IR.VI.E.S2:

    Adhere to all ATC or evaluator advisories, such as NOTAMs, windshear, wake turbulence, runway surface, and other operational considerations
  • IR.VI.E.S3:

    Complete the appropriate checklist(s)
  • IR.VI.E.S4:

    Maintain positive airplane control throughout the landing maneuver
  • IR.VI.E.S5:

    Use single-pilot resource management (SRM) or crew resource management (CRM), as appropriate
