Build Better VFR Habits with Proven IFR Techniques
You don't need an instrument rating to benefit from the practical techniques Ryan teaches in this course. The focus is entirely on VFR flying. Ryan adapts proven IFR procedures and techniques to help you improve situational awareness, safety, comfort, and confidence while flying VFR.
Flying VFR offers freedom and flexibility, but borrowing the structure and discipline used by instrument pilots can make every flight safer, smoother, and more efficient. You'll learn practical techniques to improve your planning, cockpit organization, navigation, and aeronautical decision-making—all in a straightforward, easy-to-follow format that's valuable for both VFR and instrument-rated pilots.
