### Objective Review emergency procedures, review knowledge test items, practice and prepare for checkride, including phase check and/or practice checkride. ### Resources - [Pilot Cafe Quick Review Guide](https://www.pilotscafe.com/IFR-quick-review-guide/) - [[IFR Regulatory Review Assignment]] - [[Suggested Study List by Certificate]] > [!tip] Pre-Lesson Reading/Homework here: [[~ IRA Pre-Lesson Reading]] ### Builds On - [[~ IRA Lesson Plan Outline|All Lessons]] - [[PPL7.1 Review and Checkride Preparation]] ### Schedule Ground 1.0 hr, Flight 3.0 hr ### Lesson Elements 1. [[WVFC]] specific 1. Instrument knowledge quiz 2. Instrument phase check 2. Review of FARs and AIM relevant to IFR flight 1. FAR 91.167-187 2. AIM sections from [[~ IRA Pre-Lesson Reading]] 3. Suggestions in [[Suggested Study List by Certificate]] 3. Emergencies and [[ADM]] 1. Instrument or system failures 2. Partial panel, no-gyro approaches ([[ASR]], [[PAR]]) 3. [[Lost communications]] review (see [[IRA.D Kneeboard Cheatsheets]]). Recognizing loss of communications and attempting to re-establish. 4. Weather emergencies: [[Ice Hazards and Aircraft Icing]], [[Thunderstorm]] 5. Electrical system failures, [[PFD]] or [[MFD]] failure, [[EFB]] failure 6. "[[Minimum Fuel]]" vs "[[Emergency Fuel]]" 1. Fuel reserves are required at takeoff, it is not illegal to use part of that reserve. 2. Declare "Minimum fuel" when in your judgment, you can accept no undue delay. This is NOT an emergency declaration 3. Declare "fuel emergency" when in your judgment, it is necessary to proceed directly to your destination airport. ATC will give priority. 7. [[Normalization of Deviance]] 4. Review and practice 1. Review knowledge test items 2. [[Instrument ACS]] requirements and standards 1. Also helpful to read [[ACS Tips for Evaluators]] 3. [[DP]]s, [[STAR]]s 4. [[IRA1.6 Holding Patterns and Entries|Holding patterns and entries]] 5. Non-precision and precision approaches to ACS standards 6. Circle to land approaches, risks, and how to fly MAP after circling 7. Circuit approach practices (SCK/TCY/LVK or OAK/OAK/HWD, [[IRA.E Sample Instrument Approach Circuits for Bay Area#Challenge Circuits|etc]].) multiple approaches, missed approaches, holding patterns, etc. 8. Practice checkride including phase check as appropriate 9. Logbook entries and endorsements 10. Aircraft prep for checkride, tab MX records, POH/AFM, etc. 11. [[Human Factors]] and [[Illusions Leading to Spatial Disorientation]] for instrument flight 12. [[IFR Regulatory Review Assignment]] 5. Video, showing DPE’s perspectives on Instrument Practical Test - Andy Munnis (specifically on oral part of exam): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUzR8f1Npss 1. Use of checklists / resources in the oral portion^[It’s great to create a reference document to use in flight, and it is fine to reference that both in the airplane and during the oral. However, pulling out an unmodified, large document isn’t a great look. In the former case, you’re showing you’ve prepared for the scenario, and that looks great. In the latter case, you’re showing you didn’t prepare and are leaning on someone else's preparation.] ### Completion Standards Learner must demonstrate proficiency at IFR flight planning and all phases of IFR flight, to ACS standards, and complete their long IFR XC. *Return to [[~ IRA Lesson Plan Outline|Table of Contents]]^*
