Instrument Rating Lessons | Epic Flight Academy - Instrument Rating Course: 3.4.3 - Inoperative Components

Welcome back to Epic Flight Academy’s Instrument Rating Course! In this lesson, Mike Thompson explains how to handle inoperative components during instrument flight. Understanding how equipment malfunctions affect approach minimums and flight planning is a critical part of being a safe and proficient instrument-rated pilot. You’ll learn how to use the Inoperative Components Table found in the Terminal Procedures Publication (TPP), how to interpret conversion tables, and why it’s essential to recognize how inoperative equipment can change your landing minimums and approach category. Mike also walks through an example using an MCO chart to demonstrate how these adjustments are made in real-world IFR scenarios. By the end of this video, you’ll know how to identify, adjust for, and safely manage inoperative equipment situations in compliance with FAA standards. #InstrumentRating #IFRTraining #InstrumentPilot #EpicFlightAcademy #FlightTraining #LearnToFly #Aviation 📘 Video Chapters 0:00 – Introduction 0:42 – Inoperative Components Table 2:01 – Inoperative Components Awareness 3:58 – MCO Chart Example 5:41 – Conversion Table 7:26 – Summary ✈️ Start Your Instrument Rating Training: https://epicflightacademy.com/prequalification-enrollment 📚 Learn more about Epic Flight Academy’s Instrument Rating Course: https://epicflightacademy.com/instrument-rating/ This course is taught by Epic Flight Academy's own Mike Thompson.
