20 Hours of Sim Time for Instrument Students? Well, No
Remember when we made a big deal last month about the FAA permitting more training time in flight simulators to count toward the instrument rating? Well forget about it. The FAA formally withdrew that policy today, and then reinstated the mind-boggling requirement that instrument students wear Foggles or other view-limiting devices while flying on instruments in a simulator. The reason for the withdrawal? The agency received one negative comment from someone who apparently didn't like the… (www.flyingmag.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The purpose of the simulator is to train pilots to ignore ALL sensory inputs and rely 100% on the instruments. Sooner or later you will read about the CFI in the crash column because he felt something and disregarded the instrument readouts.Want to use sensory readouts? use your nose and smell for smoke, otherwise ignore all sensory inputs that contradict the instrument scan!!! Waiting for sensory inputs causes complacency and a need not to scan the instruments until receiving some type of input. Fly the aircraft, know where you are at all times, and constantly scan the instruments and you will never be awakened by sensor G's telling you should have been paying attention before you observed a full deflection of the rate of climb and a visual sensor of the attitude indicator your brain can't figure out how to correct.
Well, sight is a sensory input. Let's be real here.
If it is part 141, an AATD can currently be used for 17.5 hours toward an instrument rating (50 percent of 35 hours).
I think we've gotten a little off track with this topic. The original article was about achieving your instrument rating.those of us that are fortunate enough to fly corporately or for an airline know what it costs to get where we are now.achieving your pilot's license up to the commercial instrument multi-engine rating cost a fortune these days. I don't know who paid for yours but I paid for mine.now I get to fly for a living and love my job and I hope other people have the same opportunity to do that.
They did the same thing with the Center-Line Thrust CFI rating for former military instructor pilots several years ago. They gave the rating for about one year, then withdrew it because (so they said) one regional manager objected. So much for helping people learn to fly. It's all about control.
FAA withdraws rule on aviation training devices
Because the agency issued its proposals as a direct final rule, it was obligated to withdraw the rule if it received adverse comments.
