What everyone is saying about the IRF ticket as a license to learn is true.
I have about 15,000 total hours and probably over 1000 hours of actual
instrument time, and I plan to use my ticket in the Velocity to only fly
through clouds to get on top and an occasional approach in order to land at
an airport. I do not plan to do hard IFR. That's what hotels are for.
Good luck.

Ronnie has certainly wetted a persons appetite for finally getting their IFR
ticket. Oshkosh this year was a great example of the value. Us VFRers were
always looking at the air show with one eye and checking the weather with
the other. Since I've been flying for over 20 years, I thought it was
getting close to the time where it might be appropriate to upgrade the VFR
ticket.
Now, the best way? Any experience or opinions out there about the best,
most efficient program? The 10 day wonder programs look like about $3,500
and you stay there. The PIC program is about $5,000 but you work out of
your home base, again for 10 intensive days. I've heard so many unsat
experiences (not necessarily in our local, but everywhere) of attempting to
do it locally where the program is not well defined or organized and drags
out over many months, or longer.
So, any thoughts or experiences to provide guidance.
Chuck
