Scanning Most basic skill in attitude instrument flying Also referred to as “Cross-check” Scanning is not just looking Scanning incorporates: Knowing where to look & when to look Interpreting (reading) the instrument Calculating deviation from desired performance Going back to set correction on control instruments Re-checking performance instruments to ensure correction working Various BI maneuvers help improve scan All maneuvers work basic scan rhythm (where & when) & deviations (corrections) Timed Turns & S1 – Works deviation recognition & corrections to precise levels Steep Turns – Works speed of scan GCA & App Pattern – Work basic transitions & setting known Pwr/Attitude combo
Scanning Errors Improper Scan Looking at/emphasizing the wrong instrument during a maneuver (omission) Beginning to scan from control instruments before the controls are set Moving eyes between instruments but not reading or making corrections to deviations
Scanning Errors Improper Scan Slow Scan Looking at/emphasizing the wrong instrument during a maneuver (omission) Beginning to scan from control instruments before the controls are set Moving eyes between instruments but not reading or making corrections to deviations Slow Scan Eye movement from scanned area to area is slow due to reading instrument or unfamiliarity of pattern Delays returning to controls causing deviations to grow before corrections
