1. Powered Flight Syllabus #4 CAP O-Rides Squadron 85

2. Basic Navigation Instruments Explain the use of basic navigation instruments (clock, altimeter, airspeed indicator and magnetic compass). Explain the inherent errors of the magnetic compass

3. Pitot / Static System Explain the pitot / static system and its relationship to the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical velocity indicator

4. Flight Plans Discuss the importance of flight plans and demonstrate filing a flight plan

5. Altitude Explain the difference between absolute altitude (AGL), true altitude (MSL), and pressure altitude (PA).

6. Altimeter Demonstrate how to read the altimeter

7. Speed Demonstrate how to read the airspeed indicator and discuss the difference between indicated airspeed, true airspeed and ground speed

8. Attitude and Airspeed Point out how attitude and airspeed are related

9. Vertical Speed Demonstrate how shallow climbs and descents affect the vertical velocity indicator and the airspeed indicator

10. Magnetic Turns Demonstrate turns using the magnetic compass. Discuss compass turning errors: variation, deviation, magnetic dip, and oscillation error
