INTRODUCTION
This syllabus has been prepared to serve as a general outline to assist you while you attend the Mooney training course at Flight Training Inc. Normally it serves as a guide for the instructor, but deviations will occur. Occasionally changes must be made due to unforeseen circumstances to accommodate training in the most effective manner.

This syllabus includes the following phases:

1. Academic Training
The academic training includes a one and one-half day, twelve-hour classroom based course to familiarize the trainee with technical descriptions, limitations, normal, abnormal and emergency operations of various aircraft systems.

2. Flight Training
Flight training in the trainee's aircraft is accomplished during four, two-hour periods to practice the operations covered during academic training.

3. Course Completion Requirements

COURSE COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

The following items will be completed in the aircraft as appropriate. Satisfactory completion must be to the level of the pilot certificate held by the trainee. VFR completion will be given to instrument rated pilots who do not satisfactorily complete items 3 and 4 below. All trainee's will be offered additional training time as necessary to achieve satisfactory levels of completion.

1. Basic instrument airwork (straight and level, climbs and descents, standard rate turns).

2. Partial panel flight (failed attitude indicator).

3. Holding pattern procedures. (if appropriate to ratings)

4. Instrument approach procedures (precision and non-precision) including one circling approach. (if appropriate to ratings)

5. Missed approach procedures.

6. VFR airwork (slow flight, approach to stalls, medium and steep bank turns).

7. Traffic patterns with landings to include normal, short field, no flap and crosswind landings.

8. Emergency procedures to include engine failures, electrical malfunctions and landing gear malfunctions.
