Instrument Flight Training For The FAA Instrument Rating - Accelerated Instrument Flight Training Course

Our Airplane or Your Airplane, Your Location or Our Location!

14 Day Accelerated IFR Training Course

Course ID: IRA-G

Accelerated IFR training

Fly IFR! Get your instrument flight training completed in just 2 weeks! This complete accelerated IFR training course is designed to take the average Pilot who has logged at least 50 hours (or close to it) of cross-country flight time as pilot in command, to an Instrument rated pilot in as little as 14 days! Including preparing you for the IFR written test!

Proper training doesn't have to take a long time! Studies have shown that intensive, accelerated flight training programs keep the student's learning curve maximized which actually improves knowledge and skill retention. Using Cessna's FAA Approved Computer Based Instruction program, FAA approved glass cockpit simulator, experienced CFII flight instructors and Garmin G-1000 equipped training aircraft, gives you the right combination to ensure that you will be trained as a safe and proficient Instrument Rated pilot. You can fly IFR with confidence when you know you've been trained by the best!

The Instrument Rating will expand the flying privileges of your pilot license to include flying in IFR weather conditions that are below the minimums required for flight under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Many pilots say that the training they receive during their instrument flight training course makes them an all around better pilot as well, and many insurance companies are now giving discounts of up to 25% for pilots with an Instrument Rating.

ATTENTION AIRCRAFT OWNERS!!!!! Save up to 25% on your airplane insurance by getting an Instrument Rating!
