Who this is for

An instrument rating applicant preparing for the practical test

A scenario-centered, ACS-aligned binder for instrument practical-test preparation.

The problem

Memorized answers don't show an examiner you can manage an IFR flight — automation, weather, and failures — as one system.

This product turns that ambiguity into a visible sequence of checks, decisions, records, and instructor conversations.

Workflow

How it works

  1. Complete the status and evidence pages before trying to solve the problem from memory.
  2. Work the decision and scenario pages using current official sources and the documents for the actual operation or aircraft.
  3. Mark uncertain items for a qualified instructor, physician, examiner, or FAA resource as applicable.
  4. Carry the action or handoff page into the next real conversation and update the plan afterward.

Source control

FAA-source checked, visibly.
