you before every lesson to emphasize its
importance in the go/no-go decision and
to make reading and interpreting weather
forecasts a no-brainer by the time they get to
the end of training. If you have a particularly
difficult weather day, don't just make the
them as "real world" as possible. Even if
you aren't giving them a taste of actual
IMC, set up a mental scenario. Pretend that
you're flying along on a hazy day and the
haze becomes thicker and thicker to the
point where you can't see outside. Not only
decision and cancel the flight-use this "real
world scenario" to give a valuable weather
lesson: Ask students to describe the weather
they'd expect for the day based on aviation
weather charts, forecasts, and reports.
should you teach them to fly straight and
level, recover from unusual attitudes, and
fly headings as laid out in the Practical Test
Standards (PTS)-teach them what to do
next. Where will they go? Who will they
ask for help? What options are available?
The Air Safety Institute has developed a
valuable syllabus (airsafetyinstitute.org/
vfrintoimc_syllabus) to use when teaching
When you get to the part in the syllabus
where you're teaching basic instrument
maneuvers to private pilot students-make
basic instrument maneuvers to a private pilot
student or when giving a flight review to a noninstrument rated or non-instrument current pilot.
If every flight instructor would make this an
emphasis item for each lesson and flight review,
think of the positive impact we might have
on bringing down the accident statistics! It's
definitely worth the effort.
Kristine Hartzell, an ATP, CFI, CFII, and MEI,
has worked as an instructor and check airman in
part 61, 141, 142, 121, and 135 operations. She's the
Air Safety Institute's Chief Flight Instructor and a
