New IFR Mastery Series Approved For FAA WINGS Credit
A new training series specifically developed for IFR pilots has
been introduced by PilotWorkshops.com which provides online,
scenario-based training. The IFR Mastery Series is designed to
improve technique, knowledge and overall safety for the IFR pilot.
FAA WINGS credit is available for completing the training, which is
available in online or CD format.
Each month, a new instrument flying topic is explored in depth.
The pilot is placed in a challenging IFR scenario. They are
provided with relevant resources such as airport charts, weather,
equipment and other variables, and must choose their course of
action via online survey. They are able to compare their choice to
what other pilots have chosen. The scenario approach requires
critical thinking that improves retention, resulting in more
effective training.
PilotWorkshops' panel of experts provides their own feedback via
video, explaining how they reached their decisions. They thoroughly
analyze the pros and cons of each decision, giving the viewer
important factors to consider in their own flying. Additionally
they share techniques and best practices related to that topic.
Pilots also access the private discussion forum where they can
debate their choices, ask questions and share their own stories.
The forum is moderated by the experts, so pilots can get personal
feedback from these nationally recognized flight instructors. This
direct access provides a unique advantage over simply reading a
book or watching a video. It combines professional instruction with
“hangar flying”.
Scenarios in the IFR Mastery Series were chosen based on survey
results from over 13,000 IFR pilots who provided feedback on which
IFR training topics they were most interested in. These include
topics such as single pilot IFR, weather, instrument approaches,
IFR communications, emergencies and more.
