Want Accelerated Flight Training?
In addition to the regular flight training described below, I’m in the process of creating an accelerated flight training program for students who are on the fast track. Once launched, the goal of the program would be to allow students to earn an instrument rating in approximately 7-10 days here in Boise, ID. For additional information, please read the FAQ below and/or submit the form on this page.
Accelerated Flight Training FAQ
In order to become “check ride ready” in just 7-10 days, you would need to ensure you have already logged 50 hours of PIC cross country time and at least 20 hours of simulated IMC flight time (under the hood with a safety pilot) BEFORE you arrive.
We also strongly recommend you complete the Gold Seal Instrument Ground school and the FAA written exam BEFORE you arrive.
Once you arrive, we’d then complete the 15 hours of instrument flight instruction in an airplane + 20 hours of simulated IMC flight time in an FAA approved flight simulator in 7-10 days.
After that, you’d need to immediately fly down to Arizona to complete your check ride with our recommended DPE.
The program will cost $4,995. This does not include the cost of the check ride in Arizona.

Earning your instrument rating will take your piloting skills to an entirely new level.
Adding an instrument rating to your pilot certificate will permit you to fly into weather that would otherwise keep you grounded. You will learn how to fly by instruments only, as well as learn instrument approach procedures and departures. You will also develop a deeper level of understanding on weather and Air Traffic Control communications, aircraft control, and aeronautical decision making.
An instrument rating is recommended to all pilots willing to take their knowledge and skills to the next level as you will develop into a much safer and more capable pilot.
It is also a requirement for anyone wishing to pursue a career in aviation.
Check out our IFR certified aircraft and approved flight simulator.
Instrument Rating Requirements:
- Log 50 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot in command
- Log 40 hours of simulated IMC flight time
- Log 15 hours of instrument flight instruction from an authorized instructor

If you come to train with me, you can expect to fly 4-5 days per week.
I’m often booked out 4-6 weeks in advance, so if you want to guarantee your spot, I strongly recommend you make a reservation so you don’t miss out on the dates you are hoping for.
