IFR Refresher Program

Are you like many pilots who sometimes find it difficult to retain your instrument proficiency?  At times, your flying may take a back seat to work and family commitments.  And, just when you find a free Saturday morning on your schedule, your safety pilot comes down with a headcold.  Eventually, two or three months have gone by, and you haven't logged a single approach.

Avionics Training Unlimited is proud to offer a four hour IFR Refresher program to help re-gain and retain proficiency in your aircraft.

This IFR Refresher program is for you, if:

• You just don't feel as comfortable flying IFR as you would like.

• You feel comfortable flying IFR, but you would like a good workout with a CFII.

• It's been awhile since your IFR flight test, and you feel you could use a good review.

• You wish to participate in an annual or semi-annual IFR recurrency program.

• You need an instrument proficiency check.

• You typically fly with a safety pilot, but desire a more thorough training session.
