We've included a scenario flight in the course to give you the opportunity to learn more from watching Doug fly it and then do more by flying it yourself.
This is where you can really begin to embed the best practices and procedures acquired from the lessons.
You can fly this course scenario on any simulation device that is capable of replicating the prescribed situation (see 'Setting Up and Flying the Scenario' in the "You Fly It" section of this Lesson). Recreate the weather exactly as Doug flies it or set your own conditions.
Flying the scenario on the PilotEdge network will give you a more complete scenario experience. You can also take advantage of the CloudAhoy application to evaluate and share your flights with Doug and fellow members.
Doug's M20M Mooney Bravo is parked on the ramp near the Signature FBO at KSBA. Ceilings and visibility are near absolute minimums at both Santa Barbara and KOXR. Winds favor a takeoff from RW 25 and you've filed for the TEC Route (SBAN35) which takes you to KOXR via KWANG - CMA at 3,000'.
Execute a successful IFR flight from KSBA to KOXR.
> File a flight plan using the TEC route system.
> Include sound alternatives to your flight plan prior to departure and enroute.
> Demonstrate command and proper phraeseology with all aspects of ATC communications.
> Choose the best instrument approach available given conditions at the destination. Land safely.
Follow along with Doug as he flies the complete scenario flight using many of the best practices he has shared in the course lesson plans.
Fly the scenario yourself. Recreate the same weather conditions Doug encounters or create your own.
Fly the scenario in all three modes to complete the progress circle.
1. Fly the scenario on your own. Judge your own performance.
2. Fly the scenario using PilotEdge under the watchful eye of a controller.
3. Record and upload your scenario flight(s) into CloudAhoy and share select sorties with Doug and the greater course community on Slack #art-flying-ifr or the Facebook Group.
