American Flyers is changing everything… preparing to become an Instrument Pilot in 2011 requires far less time and cost than it did just a few years ago – and we guarantee that you will become a more proficient pilot with better retention than ever. Flying IFR is a mental skill, it is not acquired by the hours of repetition we got for our Private. The new way starts with an organized plan using a detailed syllabus that we call the Learning Guide, then simulator instruction during which you learn all of the necessary IFR skills… and practicing in the airplane with your instructor until you are comfortable and proficient. American Flyers has graduated more Instrument Pilots than any other school in the world… nice credentials, but what’s most important is not what we did for them, but what we can do for you…

This exquisite program is designed for people who are thinking about becoming a pilot or for those who are just starting out… It’s taught by Kat, Jimmy and Justin, three of our finest instructors. You’ll fall in love with them while they explain the basic principles of flight and what it takes to be a good pilot. Too many pilots go through an Instrument Training course and never file an IFR flight plan… Filing should be easy enough to just add on to your weather briefing. We highly recommend that one of the best ways of staying “current” is by filing an IFR Flight plan for every trip, regardless if the weather is VMC.
