REFLECTOR: IFR training

[Richard J. Gentil]

Hi Lou,

I have owned an FAR-141 flight school with 23 aircraft for the 17 years. If you you have any questions about your flight training, give me a call at 239-643-1717. I would be happy to help.

It might be feasible to do 20 hours in a velocity and then 20 in a 172 or something to prepare for the check ride. I had 18 hours from 12 years ago and spent 22 hours in a 172 preparing.

This actually was cost effective and a good way to begin basic scan and principles. I believe that you do have to have At Least 15 hours of time with a CFII, and a total of 40 when you combine simulators & flying.

Part 61.65 says that 40 hours of actual or simulated IFR training is required before I can take the check ride. Then it says that 15 hrs with a CFII are required, 3 of which have to be within 60 days of the check ride. It also states that a 250 mile cross country is required.
