Your busy schedule makes it tough to plan occasional training. However, you are determined to achieve your Instrument Rating in an efficient time frame. EFA’s Fast Track Program is designed for focused pilots who want to get their Instrument Rating in just 10 units of flying.
Our FAA-approved syllabus trains you like the pros do. The 10 “full units” of training at EFA concentrate information, eliminate interruptions and increase retention from lesson to lesson.
You work 1-on-1 with your dedicated CFII, fly EFA’s IFR-rated aircraft and Elite PCATD ground trainer and use the Cessna Pilot Center Computer Based Instruction kit to complete knowledge components on your home or office computer.
Watch a video made by one of our fast track graduates.
One month from now, you could have your Instrument Rating. Let our fast track priority scheduling and four decades of experience work for you.
I found the Instrument Fast Track program to be an exceptional alternative option to the traditional format. I think there is little chance that I would have had the time to complete my instrument training if it were not combined into such a short time period. In addition, for someone like me who prefers to jump in with both feet, there is no better option out there.
Lastly, I want to say that working with Ben has been a treat as well. He was both thorough in his training and flexible in his schedule, offering to come in on his days off to ensure my timely completion. I look forward to working with him and EFA again soon.” – Jesse
