"From VMC to IMC"

The Advanced Division of LSSI welcomes you to what is commonly referred to as the “Instrument Phase of Training”.

Student pilots are taught to fly the aircraft by using outside visual references in Primary. In the Instrument Phase the student will be taught to take off, perform holding enroute, continue to his/her destination and execute an instrument approach, to a minimum altitude specified by the approach procedure, without the aid of any outside visual references. Controlling the aircraft through all phases of flight with reference to only instruments in the cockpit is a challenge for any Aviator. It is imperative that students develop good flight fundamentals, a good cross-check., and interpretation of navigation instruments to assure situational awareness.
