Instrument Proficiency Check

Using a visual menu system, Instrument Proficiency Check is broken down into 6 subject areas and 27 individual video segments. Based on Sporty’s award-winning Instrument Rating Course, the Instrument Proficiency Check app contains over 160 minutes of engaging 3D animations and in-flight video.
