VFR / IFR Exercise Suite
EAA Proficiency365™
Four (4) simulation missions with a mix of VFR and IFR exercises, all designed for skill building. Includes GPS and NAV instrument approaches, density altitude and VFR emergency situations.
About the VFR / IFR Exercise Suite
The VFR / IFR Exercise Bundle provides a pilot-in-training the opportunity to fly a diverse combination of visual and instrument flight rule mission exercises. This bundle is appropriate for pilots holding any type of rating or certificate.
IFR - Deep Practice
Repetition is a solid path to building muscle memory and embedding procedures. The weather settings make several types of approaches and terminations to Rwy 30 at KLGB possible. Fly as many approaches as you like.
IFR - The Wright Stuff
Kill Devil Hills, NC is where powered flight began, and the airport there (KFFA) now has an instrument approach. In this mission exercise, you'll have to negotiate a 30° offset from the MDA to the runway.
VFR - Johnson Creek
You're positioned at the end of a grass strip, ready for departure from a field high in the mountains of Idaho. The pattern can be busy this time of year. You'll want to maximize your power on takeoff so get ready.
VFR - Three Wire
Naval aviators train to hook the three wire on the deck of the boat, but you don't have a tail hook on your Cessna 172. You'll need to come in slow and on target to avoid getting wet. Fortunately, there is a head wind.
What to Expect
Each of the VFR & IFR missions were professionally developed and designed for optimum performance on a Redbird ATD. Special coding and data enhancements provide a realistic and rewarding training experience.
What You'll Learn
Repetition and mistakes make for good learning. And the sim is a better classroom than the airplane. As exercises these missions are designed for skill building, embedding procedures and creating muscle memory.
