Integrated flight instruction.
Integrated flight instruction.
Bottom line
Integrated flight instruction is flight instruction during which learners are taught to perform flight maneuvers both by outside visual references and by reference to flight instruments. For this type of instruction to be fully effective, the use of instrument references should begin the first time each new maneuver is introduced. No distinction in the pilot’s operation of the flight controls is permitted, regardless of whether outside references or instrument indications are used for the performance of the maneuver.
Key numbers

|---|---|

| No more than about 10 percent of the pilot's attention should be inside the flight deck | Attention inside |
