Helps IFR-rated pilots
maintain competency and prepare
for the Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC).
Designed for the instrument-rated pilot who wants to practice the maneuvers required for instrument currency and wants the ability to refine skills before taking an Instrument Proficiency Check with a live instructor. Perfect for instrument-rated pilots who don't get to fly on the gauges as much as they'd like and could use some occasional dual time.
Instrument Refresher gives you 24 simulated lessons divided into four "blocks" of learning: radio navigation, airwork, enroute procedures and instrument approaches. These lessons cover approaches, holding procedures, unusual attitudes, partial panel, radio communications, steep turns and the proper use of NAVAIDs. There is a fifth block that simulates an actual Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC).
ATC and CFII will speak directly to you to simulate actual conditions. It even includes a free-flight mode that lets you leave the training environment and practice procedures and approaches anywhere in the world.

Interactive Lessons: This program's lesson technology covers all the maneuvers required to maintain instrument currency (per 14 CFR 61.57). The challenges you'll face here include:
- Instrument approaches
- Holding procedures
- Intercepting and tracking courses using NAVAIDs
- Unusual attitudes
- Steep turns
- Partial panel
- IFR communications
- Comprehensive IPC flight
|
"Virtual CFI": Instrument Refresher's built-in CFII guides you with interactive voice prompts and graphical displays, so you know exactly how well you flew your lesson. Your virtual flight instructor will:
- Demonstrate each maneuver or procedure.
- Explain each step as he flies it.
- Prompt you through your first attempts at it.
- Watch as you practice, stopping if you stray too far from the minimums outlined in the Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards.
- Talk to you, as well as an entire cast of ATC personalities including Ground Control, Clearance Delivery, ATIS, Tower, and Approach and Departure Control.

Cessna 172: In addition to this program's comprehensive tutorial, use its aerodynamically-accurate Cessna 172 to practice instrument approaches and procedures in the airspace you fly in, giving you a chance to tax your flying skills at a low "per flight hour" cost - which helps you keep your complete focus on the instrument panel:
- Comprehensive worldwide database included, with airports, airways, NAVAIDs, intersections, and fixes.
- Realistic instrument failures help you maximize your emergency procedures training.
- Set the weather conditions to practice flying to minimums, executing missed approaches, navigating with winds and turbulence, and decision-making skills in IMC.
- Use both the profile and plan views to evaluate your flight track, backup, and re-fly under different conditions.
