IFR Training Philosophy
In the Flight Training world, there is a well-known problem, but there is also a great solution, and IFR has that Solution.
The Problem
Too many schools only train to minimum standards and suprise students with high cost overruns.
Every business needs to legitimately earn an income for the business to survive. However, it is common for many flight training schools to quote unrealistically low price points for their training programs in order to attract clientele.
In the attempt to complete a program at such a low price point, they have boxed themselves in requiring them to train to "minimum standards." As a result, the student will face cost overruns since the school cannot complete the training at the quoted price.
Training to minimum standards increases safety risks and reduces the quality of aviators that you will be sharing the national airspace system with.
We have the Solution !

We are upfront about all
training costs and fees
The Solution
Train to Optimum Standards and
have upfront honesty about all training costs.
At IFR Flight Training School™ we believe in training to Optimum Standards and Proficiency. Training to optimum standards may seem more expensive, and can be, but after cost overruns in competitor programs, which are very common, the gap closes significantly. Flying is a serious undertaking. Your life is important, as are the lives of your family members, friends, or paying passengers that you will be taking up into the air. It is critically important that you are able to fly your best.
When you choose a flight training program based on the lowest price, it's important to consider that you will most likely experience cost overruns that were not accounted for in the price quote, or training that will be watered down to minimum standards which can have an impact on safety.
Here are some important
questions to ask.
Does the estimate of the training cost include:
- Aircraft Rental and quality of the aircraft (realistic training times needed are based on the national average and are affected by how frequently you will be able to train)
- Instructor time (time you need to spend with an instructor)
- All supplies (Headsets, charts, books, media, etc.)
- All testing fees (Including your FAA oral and practical exams)
- And More ..there are many more important financial issues to consider.
