We're Aleks and Colin, the founders of Boldmethod. We both used to give instrument checkrides. We saw where students struggled, and we built this course to fix those exact problems, so you show up to your checkride knowing what you're doing and why.

Rusty? Get your IFR confidence back.

Whether you earned your rating last year or 30 years ago, this course walks you through the whole IFR system again, from departures to approaches. Brush up on the areas you need, and fly IFR with confidence again.

Everything you need to fly IFR.

The approach chart, taught in depth.

You'll learn every part of the chart, how to brief it, and how to fly it down to minimums.

Every IFR reg, taught in context.

Instead of memorizing regulations from a book, you'll learn them where they matter, like 61.57(c) currency, 91.167 fuel, 91.169 alternates, 91.175 minimums, and 91.185 lost comms.

Real IFR flights in real weather.

Every flight is filmed in our airplane, at real airports, in real IFR conditions. What you see is what flying IFR actually looks like.

Customer Reviews

Rob D., instrument pilot
Your instrument class was instrumental in my passing, as I had a thorough understanding of it all thanks to your great videos.
Travis W., instrument pilot
It was a tremendous pre-checkride course that I could cruise through quickly. I liked Boldmethod particularly because it was very applicable to G1000/G2000 avionics. Boldmethod enabled me to be a more competent, knowledgeable and better instrument pilot.
Phil W., instrument pilot
You guys have a great product that really helped, and it will be a good reference going forward.
Retired NY Center controller
I have taken several instrument courses over the years and yours, hands down, is the best I have ever seen. The depth and detail are outstanding.
Instrument pilot
The course is exceptionally well done. It is comprehensive and full of practical advice. I only wish that I'd had access to it sooner in my preparation for my instrument checkride.
Airline pilot
I'm a B737 pilot for a US airline. I bought the course for my youngest daughter who is working on her instrument rating, however, I went through the STAR portion for my own edification and I was very impressed!
