INSTR PROFICIENCY CHECK

The Instrument Proficiency Check from Air Direct Airways starts out with a plan of action to shake the rust off your instrument flying and set goals and schedules for your personal minimums.

Can I use all my resources available to me?  That new IPAD using Foreflight, can I put it to use. I just added a new GPS to my plane but need some help in effectively using it in instrument flight.

Making you at “home” in the IMC environment is just what an Instrument Proficiency Check from Air Direct Airways will accomplish. Give us a call at (603) 882-5606 to discuss your Instrument flying needs.

Six approaches, a hold, interception and tracking in six months and I’m good right?

Well that is the reg. But am I really comfortable in the IFR environment? Find Out Today

FLIGHT REVIEW

General aviation (GA) pilots enjoy a level of flexibility and freedom unrivaled by their aeronautical contemporaries. Airline, corporate, and military flight operations are all strictly regulated, and each uses a significant degree of internal oversight to ensure compliance. GA has relatively few of these regulatory encumbrances. As a result, safety depends heavily upon the development and maintenance of each individual pilot’s basic skills, systems knowledge, and aeronautical decision-making skills.

Your Flight Review with Air Direct Airways

will shake off the rust and challenge your flying abilities, making you a more confident pilot. Book Your Review

The purpose of the flight review required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 61.56 is to provide for a regular evaluation of pilot skills and aeronautical knowledge. AC 61-98B states that the flight review is also intended to offer pilots the opportunity to design a personal currency and proficiency program in consultation with a certificated flight instructor (CFI).

More than a minimum time check off the box review, your Flight Review with Air Direct Airways will shake off the rust and challenge your flying abilities, making you a more confident pilot. The flight review at Air Direct Airways is the aeronautical equivalent of a regular medical checkup and ongoing health improvement program. Like a physical exam, a flight review will have certain “standard” features (e.g., review of specific regulations and maneuvers). However, just as the physician will tailor the exam and follow-up to the individual’s characteristics and needs, your CFI at Air Direct Airways will tailor both the flight review and any follow-up plan for training and proficiency to each pilot’s skill, experience, aircraft, and personal flying goals. Of course Air Direct Airways can also provide training in a more advanced rating such as the Instrument Rating, Multi-Engine Rating or become challenged with a Tailwheel endorsement, each of these in itself qualify as a Flight Review!
