If you're interested in finishing your instrument rating or gaining
solid experience in the real world of IFR, here's a unique opportunity
for an
accelerated program for aircraft owners that is completed in 3 days.
This Southeast Trip is a flying adventure, traveling up the east
coast, down the Blue Ridge Mountain chain to the
Great Smoky Mountain, through the heartland, and back down through the
Mississippi Valley. You will gain the experience of flying over 2,000
miles and over 20 flight hours.
Upon our return, you'll receive your IPC or endorsement for the
checkride.None of the other accelerated
programs provide the comprehensive, high quality learning materials:
the Oral Exam
Prep Kit and the Instrument Rating Pre-Checkride Review workbook.
In addition, you'll enjoy spectacular scenery,
gain valuable experience by training away from your local airport and
receive professional instruction in a variety of flight conditions.
This training experience gives you the confidence
you need to really use the IFR system. You'll operate in the
environment like a professional by focusing on the practical aspects of
instrument
flight. You will also get a chance to really learn some of the
most challenging instrument approaches in the country, performing them
like
the professionals.
Key Features:

and flight planning.
- You will receive up to 24 hours of one-on-one flight
instruction on some of the most challenging instrument approaches in
the Southeast.
- When you are not in the air, you will learn techniques that
will simplify otherwise complex procedures such as procedure turns,
holding pattern entries and many others.
- You'll receive over 10 hours of ground instruction during
the course of the program... you will be confident you can pass your
IPC or checkride.
- In all, you complete at least 15 approaches, many
with SID's STAR's and holding patterns. You'll be astonished at how
much you will learn.
- All of this adds up to a true flying adventure that will
make you a more knowledgeable and confident pilot... plus it's a whole
lot of fun!
