# Ideas - [ ] sit in on both instrument progress checks and ground sessions - goal for progress checks: develop understanding of completion standards expected for different stages of learning during the instrument course - goal for ground lessons: experience a variety of teaching styles related to instrument instruction and reinforce concepts learned and reviewed during normal ground lessons - [ ] continue to attend instrument ground school (supplemental to CFII ground) - continue to reinforce concepts from normal CFII lessons - [ ] group ground sessions (potentially guided discussions) following specific topics - [ ] assignments for flights to be completed in the ground trainer, including more complex FMS management / approach and departure procedures which you might not be as proficient in (ex VOR approaches / departure procedures including arcs) - I believe that some of the scenarios from the instrument course could be utilized here (from the google drive) with some slight modification - [ ] group ground / ground school sessions without assigned topic but utilized for answering of CFII topics that CFII applicants might be struggling with - I think that as the ground school is coming to an end, it could be beneficial to do some ground school sessions that would be dedicated to any topics that students might be struggling with (ex an open forum where students can ask questions about anything) # Review The main larger areas of review that I believe are hindering progress right now would be flight instruments and navigation equipment, with a special emphasis on the following topics: ## Flight Instruments 1. HSI (G1000 specific) - CDI scaling modes - utilization of OBS 2. Magnetic Compass - turning and acceleration errors as well as the reasoning for those errors 3. Electrical System - we have not had a chance to go in depth into this topic, but I believe it would be something where supplemental assistance could be helpful given the transition to a new airplane 4. Electronic engine instrument display - general overview of the system including abnormal indications ## Navigation Equipment 1. Distance Measuring Equipment - we had a chance to review this during our previous ground session, but would be worthwhile to continue to review, specifically: slant range distance / when a DME can be considered accurate / allowable substitutions for DME 2. GPS - WAAS - RAIM - General overview of how GPS works 3. Autopilot - proper operation and limitations 4. FMS - management of more complex flight plans - understanding active legs as selected in FMS
