Default Re: Skidz flight training confessions

Back when I did a lot of IFR ratings, I would teach all the basics in the ground trainer before setting foot in an airplane. That way the guy at least had an into to holding patterns, VOR nav, NDB nav, DME arcs, and all the approaches. I found the ground trainer very useful, efficient, and cost saving, for about 10 hours toward an IFR rating.

If a guy said "I'd rather do it in an airplane", though, I'd gladly let him.
