I earned a pilot’s licence a couple of years ago and recently become a partner in a A-36 Bonanza, but have not yet been signed off by my instructor. I do not have an IFR rating. This course looks like a good way for me to learn more about the Bonanza, but I’m afraid I’ll get lost in the IFR portion of the course. It seems like 50% or so of the course is aimed at an IFR rating. Comments?
Dear Dave,
Yes, our courses are heavy IFR, but we can tailor a course to suit your needs. We can give you a Bonanza VFR Initial at a reduced cost, or we can give you an introduction to instruments. Just give us a call and we can discuss the details.
I have been building hours in a piper cherokee while working on my instrument rating in a family members beech F33. I am interested in getting my instrument rating as well as high performance/complex so I can fly my dad’s bonanza. Are your programs what I am looking for (heavyily covering IFR, retract. gear, and constant speed props)?
thanks!
John
