Departure, En Route, and Arrival Operations
Lesson Plans

Introduction:

  • Objective: To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with IFR departure, en route, and arrival operations solely by reference to instruments
  • References: 14 CFR parts 91, 97; AC 90-100, AC 90-105, AC 91-74; 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 - Departure, En Route, and Arrival Operations Lesson Plan:

  • Objective: To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with IFR departure, en route, and arrival operations solely by reference to instruments
  • References: 14 CFR parts 91, 97; AC 90-100, AC 90-105, AC 91-74; 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

Instrument Rating - Departure, En Route, and Arrival Operations Knowledge:

The applicant demonstrates understanding of:
  • IR.IV.B.K2:

    Pilot/controller responsibilities, communication procedures, and ATC services available to pilots

Instrument Rating - Departure, En Route, and Arrival Operations Risk Management:

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

    ATC communications and compliance with published procedures
  • IR.V.B.R2:

    Limitations of traffic avoidance equipment
  • IR.V.B.R3:

    Responsibility to use "see and avoid" techniques when possible

Instrument Rating - Departure, En Route, and Arrival Operations Skills:

The applicant exhibits the skill to:
  • IR.V.B.S1:

    Select, identify (as necessary) and use the appropriate communication and navigation facilities associated with the proposed flight
  • IR.V.B.S2:

    Perform the appropriate checklist items relative to the phase of flight
  • IR.V.B.S3:

    Use the current and appropriate paper or electronic navigation publications
  • IR.V.B.S4:

    Establish two-way communications with the proper controlling agency, use proper phraseology, and comply in a timely manner with all ATC instructions and airspace restrictions
  • IR.V.B.S5:

    Intercept all courses, radials, and bearings appropriate to the procedure, route, or clearance in a timely manner
  • IR.V.B.S6:

    Comply with all applicable charted procedures
  • IR.V.B.S7:

    Maintain airspeed ±10 knots, altitude ±100 feet, and selected headings ±10°, and apply proper correction to maintain a course allowing no more than 3/4-scale deflection of the course deviation indicator (CDI)
  • IR.V.B.S8:

    Update/interpret weather in flight
  • IR.V.B.S9:

    Use displays of digital weather and aeronautical information, as applicable to maintain situational awareness
  • IR.V.B.S10:

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