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:

  • The article criticizes most online training and webinars for pilot proficiency as largely ineffective, boring, and lacking the crucial live interaction and debate found in beneficial in-person seminars.
  • Pilot Workshops' IFR Mastery series is identified as the most effective online resource for maintaining IFR proficiency, utilizing interactive scenarios, expert analysis, and forum discussions rather than traditional webinar formats.
  • While highly recommended for its effectiveness in engaging IFR thinking, the IFR Mastery series is a premium, subscription-based service, contrasting with less engaging free or moderately priced alternatives.

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.
