Try to find an instructor with experience in the system...flying Part 135 or
the equivalent. A whole bunch of hours accumulated while training students
does not compare with experience outside of the training environment.

Is there anything that recent (or not-so-recent) IFR students wish you
had done in preparation for training? (specific books to read, home
flight simulator)

I'm also in the pre-IFR stage and would like to add the following question
to Jonathon's. Is there anything in particular to look for in an
instrument
instructor (in addition to the criteria used when finding a private pilot
instructor)?

Thanks,
