FlySto.net Introduce Innovative “Personal IPC Flight” Feature for Pilots to Self Assess IFR Proficiency

The TBM Owners and Pilots Association (TBMOPA) is excited to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with FlySto to unveil the “Personal IPC Flight (P-IPC)” feature. Flown with a safety pilot, the FlySto P-IPC permits TBM pilots to self assess their IFR proficiency using a novel, private assessment tool.

The P-IPC is a brief, but demanding, flight consisting of 2 consecutive instrument approaches. The first approach is hand-flown to the published minimum, missed approach and hold, while the other is executed on autopilot, culminating in a precision landing. The standards for the flight are modeled after those established for the TBMOPA Checkride Challenge, where pilots are evaluated by a professional Check Pilot. For the P-IPC, however, the standards are evaluated digitally and reported to the pilot immediately after the flight for review and guidance.

If a P-IPC flight is conducted in the fashion described, FlySto software will automatically detect it and offer the pilot a “Personal IPC Flight” button that can be clicked to reveal an analysis of numerous parameters associated with the flight, as well as, an overall score.

The flexibility to repeat the flight multiple times enables continuous skill enhancement. An example report generated by FlySto for a completed P-IPC flight is shown below.

For TBM pilots eager to maintain and refine their IFR proficiency, the P-IPC Flight feature is an invaluable tool. Using the latest technology available, it provides valuable feedback to the pilot who is dedicated to safer flight.
