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

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!

"Your instructors are absolutely stellar. They have gone far beyond what could be expected to make the IFR world clear and understandable." - Emmanuel D. - Read More!

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 aircraft insurance by getting an Instrument Rating!

***The actual cost of this IFR training course will vary from person to person and could actually be less than the estimated cost if the trainee pilot comes with some previous instrument time logged. For Option 3 you will obviously factor in the operating cost of your own airplane to get a true picture of the overall cost of this option.

This sheet is intended for informational purposes only and reflects estimated costs of all aspects of this IFR training course. The hour requirements and associated costs are based on the average training time to complete the course and pass the IFR Practical Test. Your actual time to completion will vary. All prices subject to change without notice. Aircraft hourly rental rates quoted above include fuel and are based on our pre-paid rates. Any additional flight hours or instruction will generate additional costs.

A word about our pricing and rates: SunState Aviation's commitment to you, our students and customers is to provide the highest quality training and aircraft rental possible, combined with the very best possible customer service at the very best prices and hourly rates possible. We do not add fuel surcharges or any other hidden charges to our rental rates (a 7% local sales tax is added to non-instructional aircraft rentals), nor do we falsely inflate our rental rates in order to offer "special cut-rate deals." Our rates are competitive and our block discounts are already as low as we can possibly go. Please do not ask us to depart from our published rates. The prices and rates published on this web-site are the effective rates at the time that you viewed them and are subject to change. Thank you for your understanding.
