GNS 530/430 Flight Orientation
The sample lessons are scenario-based and will allow the instructor to maximize the impact of the training with the
student, while combining a number of elements into a single ight. An example of a scenario-based training ight would
start off with an instrument departure then transition to the en-route portion of the ight. During this portion of the
ight, standard air work maneuvers may be completed, such as stalls, slow ight, performance maneuvers, etc. Once the
air work is completed, the student should transition back to instrument ight and complete the remainder of the ight
through the terminal and approach phases, as desired.
Below is a sample syllabus encompassing the avionics for the ight portion:
