The Practical Instrument Flying Course addresses a critical gap in aviation training for pilots who earned their Instrument Rating but lack real-world IFR flying experience. This course is designed to build pilot confidence and proficiency by providing hands on training in actual IFR conditions, under an IFR Flight Plan, and in controlled airspace.  

Key Features

• Real-World IFR Experience: Pilots will engage in flights within actual IFR conditions. Offering a practical understanding of the complexities and demands of IFR operations.

• Comprehensive Training: The program includes in-depth pre-flight planning, in-flight execution, and post-flight debriefing to ensure thorough preparation and continuous improvements.

• Customized Instruction: Tailored Scenarios and one-on-one instruction focused on each pilot’s specific needs, addressing areas for improvement and building overall confidence.

Target Audience

• Pilots holding an Instrument Rating who seek real-world IFR experience and enhanced confidence.

Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: By training in actual IFR conditions, pilots develop the skills necessary to manage and mitigate risks associated with IFR flights.

• Professional Development: The program supports career advancement by preparing pilots for higher certification levels and increasing their marketability.

• Practical Skill Building: Experience gained through this program cannot be replicated in simulators or VFR conditions, making it invaluable for practical skill development.

Course Structure

• Pre-flight Planning: Focus on IFR flight plan filing, weather analysis, and ATC communication.

• In-Flight Training: Real-world IFR flight experience under an IFR flight plan and ATC clearance. We include precision and non-precision approaches, holds, and enroute navigation in and out of controlled environments.
