It went faster than it might have because I
cheated-I studied the answers in advance.
AOPA's Air Safety Institute offers a lot of
free courses aimed at introducing new topics or quickly taking the rust off old ones.
The 30-minute course I chose a few hours
before starting the IPC was IFR Insights:
Regulations. I thought that might be my
weakest area. There are also IFR Insights
courses on charts and cockpit weather,
and IFR Chart Challenges for three types of
instrument landing procedures. The course
I took uses a variety of audio, video, and animation techniques.
I didn't find it through the AOPA
website (www.aopa.org/Education/OnlineCourses), although that would have been
easy to do. I stumbled on it while visiting
the FAA site (www.faasafety.gov) that lists
174 courses, 41 of them produced by AOPA
