Line Up and Wait
I know I saw this the other day, but have been through Part 61 at least half a dozen times and now I can't find. Ultimately, I think it says up to 45 hours of IR training conducted (pre-PPL) can be applied toward the IR reqs.
Does anyone have an example of a syllabus on how this could be conducted? It seems very similar to how the military conducts flight training (minus extensive use of a simulator):
1. Basic Instrument - aircraft control by instrument ref alone, some basic local approaches
2. Radio Instrument - more focus on chart/plate usage and more advanced instrument training
3. Familiarization - takeoff, landing, emergency procedures, aerobatics, night fam
4. Air Navigation - enroute planning and navigation in the NAS, culminating with approaches at non-local airfields
Hypothetically, I'm trying to ballpark best-case and average-case completion of PPL w/ concurrent IR. My guess is 65-100 hours? All IR hours will be instructional (not just the 15 minimum). Aircraft/funds availability not an issue, training from October to March timeframe (maximize poor weather days with IR training), flying 3-5 days per week, written exams complete.
I'd appreciate any advice!
