Stage II - Private Pilot Flight Lesson 15 - Dual - Local Instrument - Flight Lesson

Sep 25, 2026

Uploaded by OmBimo

Stage II Private Pilot Flight Lesson 15 focuses on dual instruction in attitude instrument flying and the use of basic instrument skills to manage marginal VFR conditions or transition back to VFR after inadvertent entry into IFR conditions. The lesson includes review of short- and soft-field procedures, emergency operations, preflight instrument and navigation discussions, and partial panel training. Completion standards emphasize competence in unusual attitude recoveries, altitude control within ±150 feet, prompt stall recovery, and improving short/soft-field takeoffs and landings.
