PilotWorkshops has released a new training resource designed to help instrument rating applicants prepare for the practical test.
“Checkride Insights: Instrument Rating” is a fully annotated version of the FAA’s Instrument Rating Airman Certification Standards (ACS), enhanced with practical explanations, examiner insights, and real-world IFR scenarios.
Checkride Insights takes the guidance of chief instructors, check airmen, and designated pilot examiners (DPEs) and maps it directly to the ACS tasks to which those comments apply. The annotations explain how examiners evaluate each task in practice, identify common mistakes applicants make, and provide practical tips for improving performance during both the oral exam and flight portion of the checkride, according to Sporty’s officials.
The manual features a side-by-side “annotated ACS” format, pairing the official FAA standards with commentary and illustrations that make complex topics easier to understand and retain, officials added.
The manual is available in a digital edition and a spiral-bound printed format for $49.
