IFR Proficiency Check

Course Info

One Hour on the Ground

We start at the table with IFR regulations, clearances, weather and lost communication procedures. Then we walk out to the airplane for a full preflight.

 

One Hour in the Simulator

We warm up in the sim before we go fly. It's the best place to knock the rust off your scan, practice approaches and run through partial panel without burning airplane time.

 

One Hour in a Cessna 172

Holding, intercepting and tracking, precision and non-precision approaches, missed approaches and circling. We fly the tasks the FAA requires for an IPC, at a pace that makes sense for you.

 

A Personalized IPC Plan

Your AZ instrument instructor looks at where you are right now and builds the plan around you. Some pilots need one session, others want a little more practice first, and that's fine.

 

Logbook Endorsement

Complete the IPC and you leave with the endorsement that restores your instrument currency. If you've gone past the six-month grace period, this is how you get legal to file IFR again.

 

Flexible Scheduling

Morning, afternoon or weekend. Pick the time that fits your week, and we'll work around it.

 

Two Airports to Choose From

Fly out of Miami Executive Airport (KTMB) in Miami or North Perry Airport (KHWO) in Pembroke Pines, whichever is closer to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need an IPC?

To fly IFR as pilot in command, you need 6 approaches, holding, and intercepting and tracking courses in the last 6 months. If you miss that, you have 6 more months to catch up with a safety pilot. After that, you need an IPC.

What if I need more practice?

If your instructor recommends extra time to get you sharp, additional training is billed by the hour. We'll always talk it through with you first.

Not sure if you need an IPC?

Call an advisor at (305) 306-7416 and we'll help you figure it out.
