Key Takeaways:

  • Field Morey is a veteran flight instructor with over 37,000 hours, continuing a multi-generational family aviation legacy rooted in Wisconsin.
  • He pioneered "IFR Adventure Flights," an innovative accelerated training program that combines multi-day instrument instruction with cross-country flying in diverse, real-world weather conditions.
  • His career as an instructor was shaped by his father's advice to find satisfaction in teaching students rather than pursuing an airline pilot career.
  • Morey's teaching emphasizes practical experience in demanding IMC conditions to build student confidence, and he also advocates for the importance of municipal airports.

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.
