A field note, for the way ahead.

A partial panel is what remains when some instruments have failed, often the ones driven by the vacuum system, in cloud. Recognizing that, and flying the airplane, belongs to the checklist for that aircraft and to your instructor. IFR Suite does not fail instruments, and this page is not that lesson.

What you can choose is the panel for a normal session: a glass cockpit or round gauges. Both show the procedure. The instruments stay in English. The session panel follows the language you choose.

What a session is

One procedure, so the picture is familiar before you spend airplane time.

  • A departure, until the runway and the first turns are familiar.
  • The traffic pattern, until you can describe the circuit.
  • An approach, from the initial segment through the missed approach.
  • A hold. The entry is direct, teardrop, or parallel, chosen from your heading and from where you are relative to the inbound course.
  • An intercept, and a DME arc.

There are more than 9,800 airports and navaids. There is no vacuum system to fail, and no electrical system. The app does not copy a clearance, and it is not a source of charts. Time in the app is not flight time and not instrument time. It is not for a real flight.

Use a short session, then fly the same procedure with your instructor.
