Accelerated Instrument Flight Training

Back to Training Page | Send Training Application

Accelerated Flight Training is the future for serious general aviation pilots. The military has used it forever in training their pilots. Experience has proven that full-time, intense instrument training leads to higher instrument skills and a confidence level necessary to operate safely as an IFR pilot.

Accelerated instrument flight training Many pilots thinking about getting their instrument rating have full time jobs and a family commitment. This leaves very little time for flight training. Consequently, obtaining the rating takes longer and costs more than my accelerated instrument course.

We don't offer a "canned" instrument course. You tell us what you have in your logbook and when you want to get your rating and together we develop a program tailor made for you. We will train not only to meet the FAA regulations but more importantly, train you to operate safely and confidently in IFR weather and the Air Traffic Control system.

In addition to being a CFI, Jim Flemming is also a Designated Pilot Examiner. At the conclusion of your training, Jim will administer your Instrument Airplane Practical Exam. Flight training with the Examiner that will conduct your checkride is extremely popular with students. This arrangement is not common in the flight training industry and is part of what makes Flight Methods Aviation, Llc. unique. Your checkride will be no less comprehensive than if you took it with an examiner you have never met. The wonderful difference for you, the student, is that you can learn your new skills from the same person that will evaluate those skills. Don't you agree that this arrangement will take some of the "checkride jitters" away?
