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:
- Online IFR training, particularly webinars, is generally considered a "mixed bag," often lacking the deep interaction of live seminars and frequently resulting in "mind-numbing boredom" or merely fulfilling a bureaucratic "checkbox."
- Various online options are reviewed, from free AOPA webinars that lack depth to paid services like Bob Miller Flight Training that incorporate quizzes to boost engagement.
- The Pilot Workshops IFR Mastery series is highlighted as the most impressive and effective online option for IFR proficiency due to its interactive scenario-based approach, instructor discussions, and analysis, despite its higher cost.
