Along the way, you’ll also pick up valuable tips, such as how to plan for an inaccurate winds aloft forecast. Departing You’ll learn the many factors contributing to a successful departure and (how to manage each), why rotation speed in your airplane’s POH is best used as a general guideline and much more. Learn how to plan your departures like the pros. Climb & Cruise Starts at 1000′ AGL and continues through the en route phase of flight. See how instrument approaches can improve your departures and how to estimate in-flight visibility quickly, easily and accurately.

Descent & Landing Examines both VFR and IFR arrival procedures and provides hints to help make this critical phase of flight go smoothly.
