Co-Pilot Workshop - Flight Instruments and Controls
Topic:
Co-Pilot Training for non-pilots.
Date and Time:
Saturday, April 23, 2016, starting at 12:00 Pacific Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Dan Dyer
Brief Description:

Does the inside of the cockpit start to look like the control room for a nuclear power plant?  Seriously, do they need all those instruments and gadgets?  Which one are you supposed to watch?  Will there be some warning if something is not right?

Pilots are given extensive training in how to read flight instruments and engine instruments, but for the rest of us they just seem too confusing.  In this Co-Pilot Workshop, CFI Dan Dyer demystifies the most common instruments you will see in a cockpit and helps you develop at least a passing knowledge of how to read and interpret them.  He will cover the standard "6-pack" flight instruments, as well as the magnetic compass.  Also, we will introduce you to the various gauges and dials used to monitor the health of the engine and electrical system.  Throughout, we will break the lecture up with fun exercises that allow you and your fellow classmates a chance to enjoy the learning process.

SCFC's Co-Pilot Seminar Series is designed for right-seat passengers. If you have a friend, relative, or spouse who flies with you, this seminar series is designed to give those right-seaters opportunities to learn a little bit more about what is happening in the cockpit. Each session will familiarize participants with one area of flying so that they can be more knowledgeable about what is happening during the flight. Our seminar series covers ground training but can be paired with in-flight training sessions on request.
