I wasn't knocking the experience. It looks like it would be a fine
experience for a fledgling instrument pilot, and probably lots of fun.

I was merely pointing out that it appears to be not (a) "intensive",
nor (b) inexpensive, and (c) only seems to provide about 1/3 of the
total hours required for a rating (although it may satisfy the total
dual instruction requirements).

In other words, it seems to be something which augments other forms of
instrument training we have been discussing, rather than replaces it.

Well, it may be a great experience. And it may be worth the money.


We are not looking for a quick and cheap way to get our instrument
rating. Our goal is to find an effective way to get the rating and the
real experience. I have known few instrument-rated pilots who were
never trained in real IMC.
My husband started his training about a year ago with a local
intructor the slow way - about one lesson a week with breaks in between
due to vacations, weather etc. His progress was very slow, one step
forward then half a step back! We will most likely spend more money on
a cross-country training trip like the DSFI's East Coast trip or
Morey's West Coast trip than with local training. I believe that
either one will prepare us well for our plan of extending our trips
further out West.
