Attendees will receive a logbook endorsement attesting completion of the ground portion of an IPC.

Subject areas will include: • Regulatory Requirements • General Operating and Flight Rules • Attitude Instrument Flight • WX Reports and Forecasts • Flight Planning • Communications and Clearances • Charts • Departure Procedures • Enroute Procedures and Arrival Procedures • Approach Procedures • Use of Alternates • Lost Communications
