Instrument Rating: IFR Training, Instrument Refresher Training, (IPC) in Denver Centennial Airport

Are you ready to tackle the instrument rating so that you can fly IFR? We are here to see you through- all the way to passing your instrument check ride. Whether you plan to fly hard IFR, or just go through an occasional overcast, we can lead you to becoming a highly proficient and confident instrument pilot with the skills and knowledge to fly IFR comfortably and safely.

Instrument Flight Training Requirements

There are 2 different sets of FAA instrument rating requirements under which anyone may train for the pilot instrument rating. IFR requirements under part 61 is what many of the smaller flying clubs and independent instrument flight instructors follow to train their student pilots, and IFR rating requirements under part 141 is how the larger flight schools train their students. Each set of regulations list the instrument rating prerequisites to become instrument rated pilots.

Just starting out and not sure who to choose for your instrument flight training:

Instrument flight instructors are NOT all the same. Most young instrument instructors employed at flight schools were trained by young instrument flight instructors who proceeded them and have no real-world experience. As a result, I have flown with many new first officers who were deficient in instrument flying, and I have seen many aircraft owners who lack confidence in their instrument flying skills and don't really utilize their instrument rating. Choose an instrument instructor who can design a course that will get you to your goal and who will provide you with the opportunities to utilize the IFR system as much as possible during your training, so you feel safe and confident the first day you fly your first flight in actual instrument conditions as a new instrument pilot. Ask the instrument instructor what kind of experience he/she has. Hopefully, you’ll find someone who has flown several makes and models of airplanes and has several years of professional flying experience.

I offer instrument flight training for pilot-career students, hobbyists, and private aircraft owners. Whether you have decided to tackle the coveted instrument rating and are just starting out; have already started your instrument training but can’t seem to get it finished; or have completed your instrument check ride but just don’t feel confident enough to fly by yourself yet, I can help you get to where you want to be with instrument training designed for you.

Instrument proficiency checks (IPC) and transitioning into high performance airplanes and advanced instruments:

No matter how long it has been since you have flown IFR, we can help you get back in top shape again. I offer instrument proficiency checks (IPC), and other types of instrument refresher training. I can also help you with the task of transitioning into higher performance airplanes such as the Citation jet or Lear jet, becoming familiar with advanced instruments such as the RMI, HSI, and GPS, and managing a faster paced flying environment.

Supplemental instrument training to enhance your current or upcoming training program

If you are struggling with a particular element of the instrument rating such as NDBs, VORs, DME arcs, or holds, I can give you specific training in that area giving you the ability to use all available tools available to the instrument pilot when flying IFR. If you want to sharpen your instrument skills for an upcoming pilot interview or want to get ready for upcoming training in a high-performance aircraft, I can give you the edge you need to succeed. Remember, aviation companies only train pilots to fly their equipment, they won't provide you instrument training. They will send you home, so be prepared.
