Explain the concept of line of site and what impact iot has on navigation in the IFR environment.

Having line of sight to something would mean that there is a clear path between the two objects without being blocked by any terrain, buildings, or other obstructions. An example of how LOS impacts flying under IFR is that VORs require line of sight. At low altitude, it may be difficult or impossible to get a signal when there are obstructions in the way such as terrain.

Explain what you believe are the two most important instructor responsibilites. Why are they more important than the others?

I think the two most important instructor responsibilities are to ensure aviation safety and to use adequate standards of performance. The reason why I think both of these responsibilities are the most important are closely tied together. A goal of flight instructors is to train pilots to be safe efficient pilots. By setting an example and following safe practices, while using standards from the ACS/PTS, we can better equip pilots to make safer decisions and better handle real world problems.

Explain how you will approach teaching partial panel operations, and where it fits into an instrument course of training.

I would introduce partial panel operations after the student has a good grasp of BAIF. I believe that it fits somewhere in the middle of an instrument course of training. The student should be able to conduct normal instrument maneuvers and instrument approaches. Partial panel operations should be slowly introduced starting with basic maneuvers and then into approaches.

Describe how you would teach decision making to an instrument student, and how it would be different than teaching a new private pilot the same topic.

I would use scenarios that involved different opportunies for the student to practice decision making by using examples such as unforecasted weather, system problems, and low fuel. IFR focused case studies can also be useful to start a good discussion on ADM. With a private pilot, I would focus on the basics of ADM including what it is and talk about some of the decision making models with examples. During flight you can also evaluate the student's ADM skills by practicing diversions and discussing what actions the student would take with different types of system failures.

List two positive aspects of utalizing a TCO and two negative aspects.

Positive Aspects: 1. Using a TCO is an easy way to make sure the overall requirements for the certificate or rating are being met. 2. A TCO is simple and easy to use. It can make preparation easier. Negative Aspects: 1. Lack of flexibility. While you can sometimes skip around to a briefing or sim in the case of bad weather for example, there can still be a lack of flexibility and time to focus on certain things on an average lesson. 2. It can be more difficult to tailor lessons to individual student needs

List and explain 3 qualities that a good student should have in order to maximize their learning experience.

Preparation - Doing homework, readings, and planning prior to a lesson will help the student to be more ready to learn. Active participation - Note taking, asking questions, and being involved in activities can help to increase retention and gain a better understanding of the subject. Meeting basic needs - Showing up to a lesson exhausted, starving, or needing to use the bathroom will be distracting to the learning experience.

Explain what the Minimal Operation Network is as part of the FAA Navigation Programs Strategy.

The FAA is decommissioning many land based NAVAIDs because of the widespread use of alternatives such as GPS. The Minimal Operation Network (MON) is set up so that incase of a GPS outage, aircraft in the US above 5,000 AGL should be able to have VOR signal reception and be within 100 miles of an airport they can navigate to with a VOR or ILS approach.

The date, name of safety pilot, name and type of approach, and airports must be entered.

List and describe the 4 segments of any approach procedure? (4 pts)

The four segments of any approach procedure are the initial, intermediate, final, and missed. The initial approach segment begins at the initial approach fix and brings you to the intermediate fix. Its purpose is to help transition from enroute to the approach. The intermediate approach segment starts at the intermediate fix and ends at the final approach fix. The purpose is to help you get aligned with the final approach course. Next is the final approach segment, which begins at the final approach fix and ends at the missed approach point. The purpose is to get to your DA or MDA while remaining clear of obstacles in order to land off of the approach. In the event that you do not meet the required conditions to land, the purpose of the missed approach is to climb away from obstacles usually so you can hold to figure out what to do next.
