IFR Mastery Monthly Scenarios
“The Most Convenient Way To Gain IFR Experience”
- Master the finer points of Instrument flying
- Hone valuable decision-making skills
- Gain a better understanding of IFR procedures
- Learn to recognize and avoid common traps
“One of the best training aides I’ve used in my 40 years of flying.”
– John Graff, Colorado
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.
