Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot eGround School
The Ultimate Collection Of IFR Knowledge, Taught By A True Master.
It's All Here, Your Complete IFR Library
The breadth and depth of Rod’s Instrument Pilot eGround School is incredible. It provides everything you’ll need to understand critical IFR concepts at a deeper level–whether you’re a student just starting to work on your rating or an experienced instrument pilot looking to brush up. It really is the ultimate IFR knowledge library. It includes:
- 26 complete online courses
- 686 short video lessons
- 50+ hours of focused training
- 151 quizzes
- 3 practice exams
Everything is presented in short lessons that tackle one topic at a time. Whenever you need to brush up on a topic, you can log in at your convenience and jump directly to that specific area. A simple-to-navigate menu structure makes it easy to find exactly what you need. For a busy pilot, this is gold. It beats watching hours of video or looking through textbooks in search of an answer.
Rod makes regular updates, so you can be confident you’ll be reviewing the latest regulations, procedures, and standards. You’ll be able to use this online library to keep your IFR knowledge current and rust-free for years.
Valuable Knowledge For All Instrument Pilots
Rod initially created the Instrument Pilot eGround School for Instrument Students. It covers the entire range of IFR topics that students must learn during their training for the rating. But, unlike a traditional ground school course just aimed at helping you pass a test, Rod explains WHY and HOW things work. In typical Rod Machado fashion, he injects a healthy dose of fun into the explanations and makes dry topics interesting.
While great for students preparing for their IFR Knowledge Exams, the Instrument Pilot eGround School is equally helpful for Rusty Instrument Pilots looking to get proficient again, or prepare for an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC). Rod will help you fill in any gaps in your knowledge and re-familiarize yourself with important concepts you may have forgotten.
The Instrument Pilot eGround School is also a tremendous resource for Instrument Instructors. You’ll see how Rod teaches complex topics with ease, and keeps students engaged.
eLearning Format Makes It Fun
Rod’s interactive eLearning courses are a great way to learn complex topics in a simple and engaging way. They offer laughs and lightness that will help you learn and retain without the usual drudgery.
The Instrument Pilot eGround School includes narration, video, animation, graphics, and interactive elements. Each course includes optional quizzes that help test your knowledge and reinforce important concepts.
It runs on a laptop or desktop computer, or on an iPad or Android tablet. All you need is an internet connection–you’ll have access to the entire library whenever and wherever you need it.
