REFLECTOR: IFR training

[Rene Dugas]

Consider emersion training such as American Flyers where you study take the
test own your own then spend a week getting the ticket.  I enjoyed it and
use a Cardinal RG.  Got the T-Shirt.

 

Just a thought.

You'll need 40+ hours with the CFII. 20 of which can be in approved
simulator with the CFII. That's as far as I know or at least was shown to me
as a IFR student just one / two years ago. John can probably answer that
much better.

 

I did 2 hours in a simulator and hated it. I think it was much better in a
plane anyway. I didn't use my velocity because we thought it might be hard
to get a check ride in it. 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.

Lou,  

 

I am sure that a CFII will have better answers than I do. When I got my IFR,
you were allowed to complete a portion (can't remember how much) of your IFR
training on/in an "approved simulator". 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.

I am considering taking training to get my IFR certificate. I am confused as
to what the requirements of a CFI or CFII are. 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. 

 

What I am confused about is how much of the 40 hrs has to be with a CFII? Is
it only 15 hrs and the rest is just with a check pilot? As usual the FAR is
confusing. Any help would be appreciated.
