“One of the best training aides I’ve used in my 40 years of flying.”

Online Scenarios That Build Confidence
There is no substitute for actual flying experience – pilots that train and fly regularly are typically confident and proficient. While we can’t put you in an airplane, we can do the next best thing by immersing you in the mental aspects of IFR flying.
IFR Mastery is a continuing series of online, scenario-based workshops. Each month we provide a challenging, real-world IFR scenario that tests your knowledge and hones your decision making skills.
It’s more than reading another article or watching another video. IFR Mastery delivers a powerful way to keep your head in the game and gain valuable experience from the comfort of your computer.
The best part of IFR Mastery is you will get maximum return for the time you invest! Because you are actively engaged, you will learn and retain the lessons in far less time. And because it’s fun, you will want to do it more often.
“When it comes to exercising IFR thinking, the program that I was most impressed with was the IFR Mastery Series from PilotWorkshops. It hits a sweet-spot mix of material to do on your own schedule and interactively, especially if you spend time in the discussion groups.”
Regular Exercise For Your Pilot Brain
Each month, IFR Mastery subscribers get a new online scenario. Our instructors follow a proven, step-by-step process that will test your knowledge and help you learn in a fun and effective way.
1. Watch
Start by watching a short briefing video that puts you in the pilot’s seat, and details the scenario you’ll be evaluating.
2. Think
Each scenario briefing ends with several options. Here, you will review weather forecasts, aircraft data, IFR charts and more to help you choose.
3. Choose
Choose your favorite option, then compare your choice with other pilots on our live poll.
4. Learn
After making your selection, watch the instructor’s video and learn which option they chose. They provide step-by-step instruction and offer a detailed explanation of their thought process.
These segments are full of IFR tips and techniques!
5. Listen
Our instructor roundtable discussion includes a panel of award-winning flight instructors who discuss and debate each scenario. They don’t always agree…and that’s the fun part, where a lot of learning happens.
6. Discuss
After going through the scenario, visit the members-only online discussion forum where great IFR tips, techniques and stories are shared. It’s valuable hangar flying with our instructors and other IFR pilots.
ABS-specific forum discussions, visible only to ABS members are posted by the Air Safety Foundation when there are specific, relevant learning points for ABS members, no matter what the featured airplane in the scenario is.
"Very realistic and very well done. Have loved IFR Mastery since it started, studying every one in detail — usually the day it comes out. Truly excellent resource and great format. Very impressive group of pilots you bring to the table. Keep up the great work!!!"

Mark Kolber
CFII & Aviation Attorney
Like many who fly for personal business or pleasure, Mark Kolber came to aviation later in life. Mark had been interested in flying since childhood, but his first three lessons were a birthday gift from his wife, hoping to get it out of his system. She claims she hasn’t seen him since.
Thirty years later, Mark is a single-engine commercial pilot and CFI/CFII. He focused early on pilots coming to flying in mid-life as he did, and provided many hours of mountain flight instruction during his 20 years in Colorado. Now primarily involved in transition and recurrent training, Mark brings the perspective of an attorney who has represented pilots, mechanics and businesses in FAA enforcement and other aviation-related matters. He speaks to both legal and pilot groups and is a regular contributor to IFR Magazine.

I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy and appreciate the IFR mastery modules. I love the scenarios and the challenges they present. The roundtable is excellent because it provides multiple perspectives. This has really made me think about things differently and has helped me prepare better for my IFR flights. This is the most cost effective way to challenge my IFR currency and proficiency.

A: It’s month-to-month. There is no long-term obligation or commitment, you can easily cancel at any time via online account, email or phone. We send you two emails per month so you won’t forget about it.
Q: It sounds good, can I try it for a month or two?
A: Sure. That’s the beauty of our monthly membership. Obviously, we want you to get value from your membership and improve as an instrument pilot.
