Instrument Procedures
Topic Description
This topic reviews different types of instrument procedures, including approaches and departures, to help pilots navigate in the IFR environment safely. The first part of the training covers procedures for connecting the enroute environment through the terminal environment to the approach phase. The second part covers procedures which provide obstruction clearance from the terminal area to the enroute structure.
