Attention:
- Discuss motivation to become an instrument rated pilot
- Relate similar personal experiences
Motivator:
- In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration regulates general aviation privileges
- Certificates are broken up into pilot, and Instructor certificates, each with unique privileges and limitations
- Pilot certificates include: student, sport, recreational, private, commercial, airline transport, remote pilot certificates
- Instructor certificates include: flight and ground instructiors
- Additionally, ratings can be placed upon these certificates
- Ratings are numerous, but related to the aircraft flown, most commonly airplanes, rotorcraft, gliders, etc., but may also be specific to an individual aircraft like a 787

Instrument Rating - Pilot Qualifications Airman Certification Standards:
- To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with the requirements to act as PIC under instrument flight rules
- References: 14 CFR part 61; FAA-H-8083-2, FAA-H-8083-15, AC 68-1
Pilot Qualifications Knowledge:
The applicant must demonstrate an understanding of:-
IR.I.A.K1:
Certification requirements (eligibility, aeronautical knowledge), recency of experience (aeronautical experience, flight proficiency), and recordkeeping -
IR.I.A.K2:
Privileges and limitations -
IR.I.A.K3:
Part 68 BasicMed Privileges and Limitations
Pilot Qualifications Risk Management:
The applicant demonstrates the ability to identify, assess and mitigate risks, encompassing:-
IR.I.A.R1:
Failure to distinguish proficiency versus currency -
IR.I.A.R2:
Failure to set personal minimums -
IR.I.A.R3:
Failure to ensure fitness for flight and physiological factors that might affect the pilot’s ability to fly under instrument conditions -
IR.I.A.R4:
Flying unfamiliar airplanes, or operating with unfamiliar flight display systems and avionics
Pilot Qualifications Skills:
The applicant demonstrates the ability to:-
IR.I.A.S1:
Apply requirements to act as PIC under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) in a scenario given by the evaluator
Re-Motivation:
- With a foundation on the necessary requirements to meet certification standards, a path to completion can be envisioned
Closure:
- Advise students that this lesson will be used as a starting point for the next lesson
- Assign study materials for the next lesson
