Item Description

Our program is geared for the busy pilot who wants to achieve his or her rating in a few short days, not over the course of 9 months.  Our Instructors are 100% committed to your schedule, meaning if you want to start at 5:00 am or 12:00 pm whichever fits your schedule for that particular day or days. Training sessions can be setup whenever you like throughout the day.

Our success is largely due to the quality of our Instrument Flight Instructors. The average age of our Instructors varies from 55 to 58 years young.   Our instructors are highly experienced IFR veterans with average flight time of 10,000 hours each and 5000 hours of dual given. We assign an instructor who is totally dedicated to you and your schedule. Each pilot client is interviewed prior to training to customize the course to his or her needs. In many cases we find that the course can take fewer days to complete, with a savings to you.

AFIT has a reputation for providing highly experienced and competent Full-Time Senior instructors. Above all, this is the reason for our success? Nothing is more important than a great instructor. Nothing!    AFIT has the finest most experienced Senior Flight Instructors available in the United States today.

Accelerated programs work because they rapidly reinforce the skills learned during instrument training. Consolidated training prevents the learning gaps that are common with a traditional instrument education.

We guarantee our 10 day IFR course: If additional training is needed to complete the course, it is done at no additional training cost (for an additional day). Our training program is organized and simplified. The program is designed to address the everyday IFR challenges without the confusion. The program is challenging and enjoyable. You will’ become a Safe, Proficient and Confident IFR Pilot. "The company realized the huge potential for gaining market share in the Accelerated Flight Training industry by guaranteeing its Accelerated Flight & Instrument Training services and continuing our complete and innovative "Turn Key Training Courses."

Course  Information: The course consists of  8 to 10 hrs per day, divided between flight and classroom time. Your training is based on a building block of instruction in an organized manner. Each lesson is thoroughly explained so you fully understand each step. You are trained not only to pass the PTS requirements but also to be a proficient Instrument Pilot. You will be trained in all the latest avionics, GPS, HIS, MFD, Glass Panel, etc. onboard your aircraft. You will be trained to be proficient in all the avionics in your aircraft and all back up. Whenever possible you will be trained in actual IMC conditions. We believe it is important to experience actual IFR during training to be sure you understand actual. We set up the examiner and check ride for the end of your training.  "We arrange a meeting with the examiner within the first few days of training, then, if possible, schedule the oral for the evening of the 9th day and then the check ride late morning on the tenth day after a practice check ride with the instructor to ensure things are fresh in your mind and you are well prepared for the check ride." Before our instructor leaves you, there will be no doubt in his mind you will be able to handle any situation that comes your way in the air. You will be a Safe, Proficient and Confident IFR Pilot.
