What are the pre-requisites?
In order to be ready for the checkride upon our return, you
must
have 50 hours PIC cross-country, 40 hours PIC instrument (hood) time, a
passing score on the instrument written exam, and meet PTS standards.
What if I don't have the pre-requisites?
A 10-day program is available at a slightly higher rate.
Additional training days are available at
a reduced rate.
How much actual flying time will I get?
You will fly 100% of the time as you are PIC for the full
program. You will fly some of the
most unique
and challenging approaches in the South East. Most participants leave
with
18-20 hours cross country and 10-15 approaches in a three day
program.
Deviations and weather may cause these numbers to go up, never down.
What if I want a custom program?
Custom trips are available, with custom topics such as
mountain flying,
Canadian flight operations, border crossing procedures, and VFR
sight-seeing.
This is a meant to be unique training experience that you'll
remember. See the IFR Adventure Trip
Reports to see what others have done.
Can you come to me?
The 7 day IFR Rating or IFR Adventure programs can be
completed
anywhere. Customized
itineraries are available and encouraged. You are responsible for
the instructor's lodging, transportation, and meals.
What is included in the 3-day program?
All instruction, as much as 35 hours of instruction (ground
& flight).
Additional provided study materials include the PTS, Oral exam prep
guide, Checkride Reviewer,
and the instrument ground school is available to you at no additional
cost.
What extra expenses will I be responsible for?
Enroute charts & plates, aircraft expenses including fuel
&
insurance, all meals for you and your flight instructor, all ground
transportation,
lodging for you and your instructor, any taxes & fees including
landing
& entry fees, and any personal expenses you might encounter.
What if I need to cancel the my scheduled trip?
The deposit is a non-refundable. If your reserved
time can
be filled with other students, then your deposit would be applied to a
future date. If you schedule a block of time, that time is reserved for
you exclusively. If you cancel, that represents significant lost
income. The deposit is your guarantee that you will use the time
you scheduled.
What if I don't return the
DVD Training Package?
This is an exclusive collection of training DVDs worth
$500. If you don't return them, you'll be expected to pay for
them prior to starting your training program. Don't forget to
bring them with you on the first day of training as I need to send them
to the next registered student.
