FLY8MA Flight Training

Episode 38: Hood Work | Flight by Reference to Instruments

FLY8MA Flight Training

Show Notes

Here we'll walk you through the basics of what your instructor will expect from you when introducing you to flight by reference to instruments or "hood work". You'll be placed under the hood, or under the foggles, and expected to make several climbs, turns, descents, all while keeping a vigilant scan on the instrument panel.

Later on in training, you will be introduced to unusual attitudes which you can preview in another one of our videos on our channel page.

As always, if you have any questions, leave them in the comments below and we'll get back to you asap!

In this podcast we talk about hand-propping an airplane, that is, starting the engine by spinning the propeller by hand rather than using an electric starter. Since some of our awesome vintage aircraft out there still do not have starters installed, this is often the only way you are going to be able to go fly one of those old birds!
