7.5. Task Management. Unlike contact flying, the horizon is not used to determine pitch and bank. Instrument flight uses the EADI as the primary instrument for attitude information during instrument conditions. As visual cues become less prominent, a greater percentage of attention must be focused on the EADI. Time-consuming tasks such as approach plate review, EFB/chart manipulation, and NAVAID setup or GPS programming should be accomplished as the workload allows with control of the aircraft attitude always maintained as first priority. Complex tasks that divert attention from basic instrument flight should be broken down into subtasks; complete a subtask then return full attention to the instruments. Alternate attention between subtasks and the instruments until the full task is complete. Effectively trimming the aircraft significantly reduces workload in controlling the aircraft and is the key to successfully accomplishing other subtasks. Anticipate and begin required actions as early as practical such as putting anticipated frequencies and NAVAIDs into the queue or STBY function of the RMU.
