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. -

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.

+ Cessna's "Cleared for Approach" Computer Based Instruction (CBI) training kit with at least the first six labs completed prior to your arrival (you will be reviewing ALL labs again while you are training).

***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.
