    Not progressing on IFR learning

    As others have said, you can use sheppard air to increase your score on the written exam, but you need more than that to pass the oral. Ryans post is a good one and this is how most DPEs are conducting exams these days. It is a bunch of information, but you need to know it to be safe and an...

    If you plan to fly a Cirrus should you train in a Cirrus?

    The Cirrus is a nice platform, and I have about 60 hours in them. However I did my PPL in a 172. Transition training to Cirrus was like 8 hours. But everything happens so much faster in an SR series . It would be cheaper and probably a bit less stressful (due to speed) to train in a 172...

    The one thing I wish someone told me when I was a student

    The one thing I wish someone told me when I was a student

    If there is something in your ground school that doesn't click, ask for it to be demonstrated in the air. This brings context to the learning and I find that very useful to retaining the item.

    Pilot Workshops IFR Mastery videos?

    As I am working toward instrument rating I do find value in the mastery series and as previously said, the discussion post scenario. I also bought their Real World IFR and Advanced IFR series which is helpful to watch someone else go through the flight planning, execution and debrief of the...
