Hey guys-
A buddy of mine is working on his instrument ticket and his instructor told him "Get the first notch of flaps at the final approach fix and just "guess" for the rest of it.."
I flew with him yesterday and worked with him a lil' on instrument stuff and he mentioned this..
I've never instructed in a single, fixed gear bird for an instrument ticket, so I'm not really sure what to tell him.. I told him I didn't know, and can't remember how we did it in the Seminole, it's been so long.. I know how I do it today and I know how I'd do it if I was flying the plane in actual and was shooting the approach..
I just wanted to see what you guys thought, for purposes of a check ride..
Those of you who taught IFR in a single, fixed gear bird.. What did you teach for both a precision and non-precision approach?
I mean, there's not that much to do in a C-172, so maybe configuring at the FAF is plenty?
