App Description

Be thoroughly prepared for your next Instrument Proficiency Check with Sporty’s interactive iPhone/iPad app!

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.

With the intuitive menu, you’ll be able to quickly access the topics you want to watch. Or, watch them all for a comprehensive review.

Also included is a review quiz based on content from the videos. After finishing the questions you’ll receive instant feedback on your score and be able to review missed questions. There’s even a way to quickly review the video segment from which the question is based.

We’ve additionally included the FAA publication “Instrument Proficiency Check Guidance” – complete with a table of contents to quickly access each section.
