Live, Online

LIVE, ONLINE

A lot like an in person class, but wherever you are.

Our industry-first online, live streaming classes bring the best of both worlds together in one easy-to-access package; the convenience of learning where you are, and the power of learning in a classroom like environment. Follow along with the instructor, ask questions along the way, and get a feel for the flow and totality of instrument flight.

Experience Driven

NOT JUST SIMULATED

Learn from instructors that fly in actual IMC

Instrument flight has a wide range of deeply technical topics, new safety related and decision making concerns, self and cockpit management, and an array of other topics that must be managed carefully to be successful. In other words, all of the skills required to fly IFR come to fruition when actually flying IFR. In this course you’ll learn from an instructor who has actual instrument experience.

FAA Written Test

ACE YOUR WRITTEN TEST

Pass your FAA Written Test, required to become a Private Pilot.

One of the main goals of the class is to successfully prepare you to pass the FAA Written Test for the Instrument Rating. This is no small group of subjects, and you’ve no doubt heard just how deep a dive it takes to learn the IFR environment. Over the duration of our class, we’ll be focusing on building a solid base of instrument knowledge, in addition to sharing tips and answering questions from the Written Test.

CONFIDENCE IN THE CLOUDS

Flying on Instruments is an art form. It takes a deep base of knowledge, a lot of practice, and a great deal of growth.

Of course, you want a high score on your Written Test. Since when did a high test score mean someone was automatically good at something? By starting with a base of solid knowledge first, you’ll pass the Written Test as a result of your knowledge. True value is being a lifelong, safe aviator, not passing a single test with a high score. We focus on the whole picture.
