Imagine this scenario: You jump in your family airplane and depart into a clear blue sky. You’d have to stay aloft for 4.25 years to match the 37,200 hours in flight instructor Field Morey’s logbook. And you’d have to seek out the worst weather along the way to experience what Field has flown through in the almost six decades he’s been teaching his fortunate students to fly on instruments.
Field Morey, IFR Training Guru
Key Takeaways:
- Field Morey is an exceptionally experienced instrument flight instructor with nearly six decades and over 37,000 flight hours, renowned for teaching students to fly instruments in challenging, real-world weather.
- He pioneered "IFR Adventure Flights," multi-day trips that uniquely combine accelerated instrument flight training with scenic travel, camaraderie, and practical exposure to diverse weather conditions.
- These adventure flights, which started by chance in 1966, effectively condense training to enhance student retention, instill fundamental piloting skills, and build confidence in instrument flight.
- Morey's career is built on a rich family aviation legacy, dating back to his father, Howard Morey, a contemporary of the Wright brothers who built Morey Airport, which his children continue to operate.
