The Instrument Rating (IFR) is considered perhaps the most knowledge-heavy and tedious rating in all of aviation. If you are interested in attaining your Instrument Rating, you will need to spend a considerable amount of time studying and learning the material and procedures on the ground. There are a number of ways to do this (books, one-on-one time with your expensive CFI, etc.) but we high recommend an interactive online video course. There are a number of topics, concepts, and procedures within instrument flying that are best learned not from a book, but from an experienced and skilled instructor explaining them to you with the help of visual aids.
Introducing: Rod Machado's Instrument Ground School eLearning Course
There are so many choices when it comes to selecting a ground school course. After considering a number of different courses, we are proud to partner with Rod Machado - one of the most respected and well-known flight instructors in the world - to provide an instrument rating ground course that features over 50 hours of interactive learning content.
This highly animated, interactive eLearning course is probably the most comprehensive instrument rating ground training program on the market today. Included in this course are 686 short video lessons, 151 quizzes, and 3 practice exams. This course is thorough, but that is exactly what you want. Its 26-course modules span 50-hours of highly educational, fun and interactive instrument rating ground training. The depth of material covered in this course is what you'd find in your traditional single-semester, college aviation ground school, at a fraction of the cost.
No need to be intimidated: this course is designed to help you be successful. Everything is presented in short lessons that tackle one topic at a time. Unlike other courses out there, Rod explains WHY and HOW things work - which is extremely important when learning instrument flying knowledge and procedures.
This course contains everything you need to prepare for the instrument rating written test, the oral, and the checkride, and this course will guide you from start to finish. Upon completion, it will also provide you with the written endorsement that is required before you can take the written test. Take this with you to the testing center.
Compared to nearly every course I have tried, this is the most fun and enjoyable course to study. No more reading dry, stale, study material when you can learn in an enjoyable, interactive manner from one aviations most entertaining instructors.
Whether you live in Alaska or elsewhere, you can take this course anywhere in the world, at any time of day, on nearly any device. Learn on your schedule, at your pace.
Here is why this particular course is recommended: Most ground school courses focus solely on preparing you to pass the written knowledge exam only. The knowledge you gain from most other ground school courses is is to be applied to answering a multiple choice test, but its not very practical or usable knowledge. Rod's course is different: Rod provides an all-encompassing, fully comprehensive IFR ground school that will not only prepare you to pass the written knowledge test, but it will help you LEARN material that you will actually use in the cockpit. This can replace most of those $50-$75 per hour ground sessions with your CFI, saving you a lot of money that you can then use to actually fly.
This course will be available to you for life, and will receive regular product updates so that you can use it throughout your entire flying career for review. Use this course down the road to review IFR procedures, or when studying for Instrument Proficiency Checks (IPC's) or even when preparing for your CFII. The course also includes all the books you will need for flight training, as well as a flight training syllabus that can be used in conjunction with this course:
