Is accelerated instrument training the right path for you?
A great fit if you…
- Can clear about two weeks Time off work, or a gap between jobs or semesters.
- Learn best by repetition Flying every day keeps procedures fresh between lessons.
- Have a deadline A new job, an insurance requirement or a trip on the calendar.
- Have your cross-country hours Or close to the required 50 hours of X/C PIC so training is efficient.
- Want one dedicated CFII The same instructor from your first flight to your checkride.
- Have passed your IFR written It’s required before day one, so every training day goes to flying.
