Summary
Your instrument instructor rating, explained by someone who has sat in the right seat.
Ready to teach in the clouds? Cleared to Teach the Approach is a warm, witty and thoroughly practical guide to adding the instrument rating to your flight instructor certificate, written by Evelyn Schmidt Van Dyck, a longtime flight instructor and former FAA Designated Pilot Examiner. She explains what the regulations actually say, what the examiner is really looking for, and how to turn the instrument flying you already know into teaching that keeps learners safe long after they leave your right seat.
The companion to Cleared for Takeoff, Cleared for the Approach, Cleared for Hire, Cleared for Two and Cleared to Teach, this book picks up where your CFI certificate left off. It skips what you've already mastered, like the fundamentals of instructing, and concentrates on what's new: teaching instrument flying, and proving on a checkride that you can.
PART ONE: PREPARING FOR THE FII KNOWLEDGE TEST
What the instrument instructor rating lets you do (and what it doesn't), who is eligible, and why there's no FOI test this time. You'll relearn instrument knowledge from the teacher's side of the desk, sort out the IFR rules everyone asks about (currency and the IPC, safety pilots, training devices, alternates, takeoff minimums and lost communications), and find out exactly how the FII knowledge test works.
PART TWO: LEARNING TO TEACH INSTRUMENTS
Keeping everyone safe under the hood, teaching the scan with either the primary and supporting or the control and performance method, partial panel, failed screens and unusual attitudes, navigation, holding entries you can draw from scratch, clearances, every kind of approach, and the hardest instrument skill of all: knowing when not to go. Plus a practical guide to running honest, useful instrument proficiency checks.
