Instrument Flight
Flight Procedures
HUD Use
During visual maneuver, HUD attitude, navigation, and performance instrument information can be used to
assist in the transition from a head-down instrument scan to a visual scan. Only use the HUD information
as a reference, your primary flight reference instruments are the ADI display and HSI display during an
instrument approach.
Flap Setting
Due to the number of approaches required in a given instrument training sortie, and the transit times to
practice airfields, half flap approaches are normally performed. However, approach configuration for full
stop landings should be full flaps.
MISSED APPROACH
You will execute a missed approach anytime you reach the MAP or DH on an approach and you do not
have the runway environment in sight, you lose sight of the runway when circling, a safe landing is not
possible, or when instructed by your controller to do so. If you execute a missed approach while circling
to land, turn to fly over the airport center, then fly the published missed approach.
