Instrument Scan Study Guide

The document provides diagrams and instructions for instrument scans during different flight maneuvers. It emphasizes the importance of a consistent instrument scan and using primary instruments first to control the aircraft before checking secondary instruments. The diagrams show which instruments are primary and supporting for maneuvers like straight and level flight, climbs, descents, turns, and unusual attitude recovery.

Feel free to print or use these layouts to study your scan for instrument flight.

Remember that the key to proper instrument flight is a good solid scan. Always keep up your scan!

The aircraft should be first controlled with the reference to the Primary instruments, followed with
information from the Secondary instruments.

Know your instruments! They will tell you if something is wrong or failing!
