Instrument Scans

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 withinformation from the Secondary instruments.

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