Accelerated IFR training in real-world conditions with highly experienced instructors. Custom tailored accelerated instrument training based around your current experience and future goals. Train in your aircraft or ours.
Once we receive your initial contact form, a V1 Aeronautics CFII will contact you by phone. We are happy to discuss your personal situation at length in order to develop the most concise plan of action.
We will work hard to accommodate your busy schedule. A 50% deposit is required to secure your training slot.
Up to this point we have been working hard behind the scenes to prepare for your visit. If you have arrived via major air carrier, we are happy to arrange complimentary car service from one of the three major terminals that serve our area (BWI, IAD, DCA). If you are flying your aircraft to our location, your instructor will greet you on the ramp at KHGR’s world-class FBO – Rider Jet Center.
Our excellent first-pass rate for instrument pilots is due to the dedication of our flight instructors. Accelerated instrument training requires instructors who experienced and eager to take you into actual IMC to develop your skills as a finely tuned and safe instrument pilot.
We understand that unless the student gets flight time in actual IMC, s/he is still going to feel ill-prepared to launch into actual conditions for the first time after receiving an instrument rating.
Years of experience has proven full-time immersive training leads to a greater level of skill, proficiency and confidence that are necessary to operate safely on an IFR flight in IMC.
Today’s IFR pilot applicants desire to be trained using the latest avionics; that requires training in aircraft like our immaculate DA-40’s with G1000 avionics and GFC-700 autopilots.
