This page does not take the fear of cloud out of the airplane.

Unease about flying in cloud is a matter for the aircraft and for your instructor, on a real lesson. IFR Suite does not put you in cloud. There is no weather in the app. A session does not replace that flight, and this page does not either.

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. Glass or round gauges. The instruments stay in English. The session panel follows the language you choose.

There is no radio and no microphone. The app does not read a METAR or a TAF, and it does not play the ATIS. It 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.
