10-Day IFR Training in My Cirrus SR-22 Perspective 

Accelerated Flight & Instrument Training, LLC (AFIT) and their very experienced instructor Eddie delivered exactly what they promised. Eddie promised to make me a better, safer and more confidant Pilot, while at the same time preparing me for my instrument check ride. After 10 days of training with Eddie I can absolutely say I am a better pilot, safer, more confident and that check ride was a success! 

Thanks team AFIT!

My Private Pilot Training Course IN MY Cirrus

I recently had the privilege of completing my training with AFIT Flight & Instrument Training LLC in pursuit of my Private Pilot Certificate in my Cirrus. This experience has been one of the most rewarding and transformative chapters of my life.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to two remarkable instructors, Tony and Steve. Both demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, intelligence, and patience throughout my training. Their guidance was clear, precise, and encouraging, which gave me the confidence to meet every challenge along the way.

AFIT’s accelerated training program is no small undertaking, yet under their expert instruction, I was able to develop the skills and discipline necessary to succeed. Their structured teaching methods and unwavering support not only prepared me for each lesson but also instilled a deep respect for safety, precision, and excellence in aviation.

On September 28, I successfully completed my Private Pilot check ride, a milestone made possible thanks to the dedication and expertise of my instructors. This achievement is not just a personal victory but also a reflection of AFIT’s commitment to shaping confident, competent pilots.

I am truly grateful to AFIT, and especially to Tony and Steve, for guiding me through this incredible journey. Their passion for aviation and devotion to their students left an indelible mark on my path as a pilot.

10-Day IFR Training Cirrus SR-22

Tony,

I wanted to send my thanks for the AFIT training I received from Shawn. When I decided to pursue my Instrument Rating, the thought of flight lessons every weekend for months made me feel…UGH!!. It was awesome getting IFR training in my Cirrus SR22 and not some simulator. Shawn was constantly searching for actual IMC conditions so we could train in conditions that gave me the confidence to handle actual IMC conditions on my future flights. Shawn allowed me my dream list for my long cross country, our first leg was Lincoln to Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara then into John Wayne Orange County for a ILS 20R night landing….Awesome!!

The next morning the fun continued on to San Diego, Palm Springs then a long return to Lincoln. The experience was amazing, all the airports my wife and I love to visit & I was able to shoot approaches and gain real time experience. I’m not saying this was easy, it was work….as a student I put in the required work, I followed all of your course recommendations and needed every one of them-ha ha….Passing my IFR check ride was an AWESOME feeling, feel free to share my contact info with any future students, I’d be happy to talk with anyone about flight training and my experiences with Shawn & AFIT.

Thanks again Tony, and Shawn, 2 thumbs up buddy

10-Day IFR Training Cirrus SR-22 / Perspective

Tony,

I passed the flight portion of my IFR check ride on Tuesday. This accomplishment would not have been possible without the instruction provided by John my senior instructor. John is a consummate professional. This became apparent when we first met. His signature tie and hat exemplify the precision and attention to detail that an IFR pilot must possess before safely taking to the air.

John’s quick wit made the IFR training fun. But he also was able to quickly get me focused on the multiple tasks at hand. For example, he had me shooting VOR and ILS approaches on day 2. That built a sense of confidence in myself that would translate into more effective training activities throughout the 10 days John trained me.

Another skill set of Johns’ is his ability to calmly and patiently review and explain a procedure or task that was challenging. For instance, we did holding turns until I felt comfortable and could demonstrate I had it down cold. In addition, the opportunity to listen to John’s unique radio skills talking to ATC was a great learning experience in itself.

Anyone contemplating accelerated training for the IFR certificate would be well served to consider John as an instructor. There is no question that my IFR performance benefited from John’s unique instructional capabilities.

10-Day IFR Training

Hi Tony–wanted to personally thank you for an amazing training experience with CFII Mike. He is an extraordinary teacher–super patient with my many questions while still managing to keep his daily lesson plans on track. I am a completely different pilot now thanks to his instruction.

I am a SAFER pilot thanks to his keen observations of my deficiencies.
