- Current Flight Review
- Current Medical (Basic Med OK)

On Day 1 we will cover:
- IFR Power Settings for Your Aircraft
- Basic Instrument Work and Challenging Patterns

Day 4 | ILS Approaches
Nothing says IFR success like breaking out of the clouds at minimums with the runway right below- right on track. Day 4 is all about dialing the ILS and flying it with methodic precision.

- Localizer Approach
- ILS Approach, Partial Panel
