I have a good friend who is interested in getting his instrument rating. He is a Private Pilot - SEL & SES.
I know that things have changed since I got my IFR ticket. When I got my IFR ticket, I took a 2 week ground school that met several times a week and was just like a regular classroom. The course was designed to know how to operate IFR not to just pass the test. Now, you can use tapes, do a weekend seminar, or even go online.
Unlike most of us who had a money problem, his basic problem is the lack of time in the day to commit to self study (a demanding wife), and a very hectic work schedule. However, he has told me that he can plan in advance to take several days off to take the written, but would have to "get out of the house" in order to get it done.
If you didn't have a money problem, but rather a time problem, what would you do? Has anyone out there done a IFR Weekend "Cram Course" either seminar style or like ALL ATPS but for the Instrument not the ATP?
Looking for some help from the gallery in order to give this guy some advice.
