Instrument Course Puts Charts in Perspective
On its own, a chart is just a piece of paper, but integrated into the larger world of
procedures and practical situations, a chart becomes a critical tool in a pilot's
toolbox. The AOPA Air Safety Foundation's new online course IFR Insights: Charts
helps pilots get the most from their charts by showing how they fit into the overall
profile of an instrument flight. The course takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete and
covers NACO and Jeppesen products. In addition to detailed coverage of chart
symbology, the course includes a gripping re-creation of a historic chart-related
accident, interactive quizzes, and numerous real-world flying tips.
