ASA IP Trainer IFR Procedures Course
ASA, a world leader in aviation training materials, and Precision Training Software, an innovator in computer-based training, have brought their talents together in IP Trainer, the first IFR simulator that actually teaches the IFR procedures that the Practical Test Standards for the Instrument Rating are built on. When Private Pilot Magazine called IP Trainer " a landmark step forward in IFR procedures training," it wasn't just because IPT was the first computerized tool to teach IFR air work. More importantly, it was because IP was the first program to simulate the key facet of instrument flight training-the instructor.
The danger in non-rated pilots shooting their first approaches on a simulator is when there isn't an instructor looking over their shoulders, demonstrating the right way to do things and looking out for the formation of "bad habits." Unless you have that guidance and instruction, there's no guarantee of what you're learning and how you're learning it. IP Trainer's 133 built-in lessons are assembled on a foundation of artificial intelligence and presented by a "virtual CFII," who briefs you on each maneuver, demonstrates it, verbally prompts you through your own attempt at it, lets you practice under its guidance, and finally tests you on it. Since the instructor knows your precise flight profile at any given time, it can stop you if you stray outside the lesson parameters. Then IPT will explain what the error was, and offer to either back up to a point before the error occurred or even practice the lesson again-unless you're in the Test Mode, where you and your newfound skills must fly the procedure from start to finish. When you've completed a lesson test, IPT evaluates you to exacting standards (the same standards as on an FAA Practical Test) and graphically displays your rating in the different elements of that lesson. Just like a CFII, Instrument Pilot compares its knowledge of how the procedure should be flown with your execution of it, then examines your performance. Top It's About The Lessons
"Instrument Flying" covers both basic and advanced attitude flying. "Radio Navigation" teaches intercepts, holding patterns and more. In "Instrument Approaches" you'll learn every approach from NDB and ILS to "no gyro" approaches, all at real airports. "Enroute IFR" covers clearances, SIDs and STARs. Every lesson has actual digitized controller voice: for ATIS, clearance delivery, ground control, tower, approach and departure control, center, FSS and Flight Watch. Along with guiding your lesson, these voices prepare you for the real world of IFR flight. IP Trainer's trainer is an aerodynamically correct model of a Cessna C172, the world's most popular instrument trainer. All instruments are accurate models of aircraft instruments, incorporating indicated airspeed errors, DG precession, and magnetic compass errors. If you're not up to a lesson, go to the "Free Flight" mode, where you can fly the C172 into any IFR airport in the U.S., with every navaid at your disposal, to practice your newfound skills. Review your flight on a map, and preset wind, ceilings and visibility. Practice unfamiliar approaches anywhere in the country, before you ever get there. Top
