    Instrument training questions

    I did mine in 41 hours total time 15 dual with CFII (10 hrs dual in a BATD, 5 hrs dual in an Airplane) 26hrs with safety pilot. Yes it's possible to get your ifr with the minimum dual time. I spent about 15 hrs on the ground with my CFII doing ground work. Something that helped me greatly...

    Glidepath when going direct to FAF on an RNAV circling approach on the Garmin GPS175/GNC-355/GNX-375

    You have to activate the approach for everything to work properly. Going direct to a fix is just that. Just like going to any other GPS waypoint.

    GFC 500 install quote is outrageous

    I got a quote back in October for GFC 500 2 servo install. They quoted me $13,600. It would be higher if you don't have at least a G5 attitude installed. I have the G5's already.

    Anyone use King’s IFR Practical Oral course?

    No, they cover the ACS. She just goes VERY in depth. Its good info. If you have a king course with it provided, watch it. Its good info. If you're thinking of buying just that part, don't. There's plenty of videos online that go over the oral IFR portion

    Anyone use King’s IFR Practical Oral course?

    It's ok. It gives you an idea on how the oral portion will go. There's a lot of good info in there but like Salty said, she goes way to deep into each question giving too much info that isn't needed. DPE asks you a questions, only give them that answer they need. If you add any extra info...

    Sim hours with a CFII

    Yes I've read that. I understand that hours count towards simulated instrument hours. Maybe i'm not understanding it correctly but I don't see where it has to be a CFII or that it counts towards the minimum CFII hours. It just says authorized instructor (61.65 (i)(2).

    Sim hours with a CFII

    I just got done doing the max 10 hrs in a sim with a CFII. Can the hours with the CFII in the sim count towards the minimum 15 hrs instruction from a CFII for an instrument rating? or does it have to have 15 actual flying hours?

    Redbird Simulator for IFR hours

    I found a Redbird Simulator an hour away to use to knock out 10 hrs of my IFR training. The woman I talked to couldn't answer all my questions and an instructor wasn't available at the time. My question is, does an instructor have to be with you the whole time while using the SIM to be able to...

    IFP Request

    This is my guess as well. There are towers to the south of 3MY that may interfere with an RNAV as well as RWY 22 RNAV into PIA crosses the approach path to 36 at 3MY
