Instrument Rating- if I started all over again

Reflecting on what was helpful for me, and what I would improve. FAA Instrument Rating training, IFR- for airplanes

King Schools all the way! John and Martha King ground school courses have trained by far the highest percentage of pilots and done it for an unprecedented 50 years! Every course is presented in a thorough, easy to learn and fun manner. I used King for my instrument rating way back in 1984. I’ll soon be back again after a long hiatus for their refresher courses.

I'm going to follow this. I followed your videos during my PPL to a 90% and pass on my 1st checkride.

Hello AIDYL CONCEPTS from Sydney Australia.
Thankyou for explaining the options a VFR pilot has to improve and satisfy the (FAA) receiving the instrument flight rating (IFR). Watching YouTube pilots: videos, of flying into IMC has cemented different skill sets required to be a competent, *aviator,
*navigator and
*communicator.
Good pilot's say "keeping ahead of your plane, is key". The 'takeaway' for me, anyways... Is be proficient with your electronic glass panel. Sound ability to input waypoints (and change them, if required by ATC). The same for SAC sectional charts, plates and Meterlogical/radar synthetic vision while flying.
In other words- If one is baking a cake, its much better to have all the ingredients "No icing!"

Thanks for the great video and insights for preparing for the IFR world. How soon after becoming a VFR pilot do you think one should start on IFR training?

Thank you soo much. Still training in PPL in Europe all your videos were so helpful and I have learned allot. If time permits please do make more videos is a very pleasant experience.

I LOVE your videos! You helped me get through private….now into Instruments. Who/what did you use for IFR ground?

Pretty good list, but any video-rich course is good, from most well-known providers out there. One would be hard-pressed to say Sheppard is batter than any of the others. Hopefully they didn’t sponsor this to include an ad 😉

Can you make one for commercial as well please?
