Webinar and other online training is a mixed bag for bolstering proficiency. The best gain for your time spent may be Pilot Workshop’s IFR Mastery Series, but you’ll pay for it.
IFR proficiency Online
I recently endured the annual torment known as recurrent training for FAA FASTeam Rep status. The process is just a minor torment: two 45-minute, pre-recorded sessions of narrated PowerPoint with quizzes at the end. Its the kind of training thats more a checkbox on some bureaucratic tally sheet than any effective means of teaching.
Key Takeaways:
- Most online training, including webinars, is criticized for being generally ineffective for deep learning due to a lack of meaningful interaction compared to live seminars.
- While free webinars offer minimal engagement and paid options struggle to maintain live participation, short interactive online courses are noted as a slightly better alternative.
- Pilot Workshop's IFR Mastery series is highlighted as the most effective online resource for IFR proficiency, utilizing interactive scenarios, expert analysis, and discussions, though it carries a premium cost.
