  1. How will I benefit from this program?

    Flying single pilot IFR is one of the greatest challenges in general aviation. This program examines the risks and gives you concrete tools and tips to help you fly IFR with safety and confidence.

    Throughout the program, you will be exposed to the real and unique challenges of single pilot IFR. Doug's stories, techniques and lessons are based on thousands of hours teaching IFR pilots.

    He will have you better prepared to manage your next IFR flight and ready to react to situations and potential hazards that can arise on a typical flight.
     

  2. What will I learn?

    Doug takes you from preflight to post flight and everywhere in between. Workshops include:

  1. SPIFR Preflight - Single Pilot IFR flight requires extra preparation. Doug walks you through the P.A.V.E. checklist and highlights the critical aircraft and pilot items that must be checked before every flight.
     

  2. Flight Planning Considerations - There are many factors that affect your route. Weather is the most obvious one, but there are additional items you should look at. Doug reveals the "not so obvious" factors that must be considered.
     

  3. GPS Tips for IFR Flight - GPS is a great tool and can reduce workload during an IFR flight. If used improperly, however, it can increase workload and lead to serious trouble. Doug provides operational tips to ensure your GPS is your ally. He also points out the common mistakes he sees during training flights that can get you in trouble.
     

  4. Staying Busy to Stay Ahead - Part One - IFR flying can be extremely demanding, especially Single Pilot IFR operations. To stay ahead of the workload, you must stay busy. Doug will teach you 2 questions you can use to stay ahead of the workload.
     

  5. Staying Busy to Stay Ahead - Part Two - There's plenty you can do during the enroute portion of your flight that will keep you out of trouble and have you better prepared to fly your approach. Topics include working with ATC, monitoring weather and selecting the approach.
     

  6. Briefing the Approach - The three most important things you can do during an IFR flight are (1) brief the approach (2) brief the approach (3) brief the approach. Doug will walk you step-by-step though this process to help you derive the most from your briefings.
     

  7. Building IFR Proficiency - Given the demands of IFR flying, it is important to develop a plan for building and maintaining a high level of proficiency. Doug will explain the steps you can take to become a capable and confident pilot flying in the instrument world.
