IFR for Professional Pilots

We have written a textbook (IFR for Professional Pilots) that covers all the concepts you must learn to obtain an instrument rating. However, there are many concepts that are difficult to explain with only words and pictures. To solve this problem we have created a series of computer simulations that will help you to master the concepts that are required.

The simulations are listed to the left. The first group clarifies how various important systems work. The second group covers drift theory. The third and most important group allow you to practice vital skills you will need as a professinal pilot. If you are diligent in their use you can save considerable training time which will save you money.
