Response to 5 Minute Presentation

Literal
IFR is very difficult to fly under.
Most accidents are caused by VFR to IFR weather changes.
Certain permits are required to fly under IMC conditions.

Interpretive
Permits required are because of the amount of accidents caused by IFR conditions.

Applied
My end goal is to attain my Instrument pilot rating and have as much knowledge as possible regarding aviation and the field.

I had live performers during my presentation, I drew alot, I didn't just stand there, I got into the part.

2) What was most challenging to do and why?

Keeping the class interested, even though they were exhausted from all of the other presentations.

3) What is the difference between the literal and interpretive in your presentation?
