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.

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. Hai Longworth |
