Cross-Country Instrument Flight The cross-country flight should be made using an IFR flight plan under actual or simulated IFR conditions. It should cover a triangular course on Federal airways, and involve approximately 3 hours of instrument flying.
Standard instrument approaches should be practiced at three different locations, preferably using different approach systems.
The cross-country flight should not be undertaken until the trainee has demonstrated his proficiency in all other maneuvers and procedures covered by the refresher course. For graduation, the trainee's performance on the cross-country flight should meet the standards prescribed for an instrument rating flight test in the FAA Instrument Pilot Flight Test Guide.
