A flight instructor uses this syllabus (147 pages) to prepare a private pilot in CCA* or TAA* (Glass Cockpit and GPS navigation) for an instrument rating under 14 CFR parts 61 or 141—FAA Approved for part 141 flight schools. A basic flight instructor (CFI), training to be a CFII, uses this syllabus (lesson plans) for their CFII practical test. To understand many elements in this syllabus, Skyroamers® Instrument Pilot Flight Training Manual is required. If you can use an FAA approved flight training device or flight simulator—a far more efficient and effective way to teach instrument flying—use Skyroamers® Instrument Syllabus—Airplane and Flight Simulator or FTD.
* CCA—conventional cockpit aircraft, TAA—technically advanced aircraft.
