Most instrument courses teach you the rules. Ours puts you in the cockpit. You'll watch real approaches flown in real weather, with real ATC, so you're ready to pick up your next IFR clearance.

I am instrument rated and a retired NY Center ATC. 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.

Aleks and Colin flying N216BD

We're Aleks and Colin, the founders of Boldmethod. We both used to give instrument checkrides. We learned where pilots actually struggle, and we put those experiences straight into this course.

Plus, every flight is filmed in our airplane, so you can see exactly what flying IFR looks like.

Working on my instrument rating. Great course so far. Loving the material. Can't believe how thorough it is and how clear everything is.

Instrument Procedures Customer

I just completed all 42 hours of videos. As with everything Boldmethod does, the course is exceptionally well done. It is comprehensive and full of practical advice. I only wish I'd had access to it sooner.

Instrument Procedures Customer

I'm a B737 pilot for a US Airline. I bought the course for my youngest daughter who is working on her instrument rating. I went through the STAR portion myself and was very impressed.

Instrument Procedures Customer

I bought the course as a reinforcement. I think your courses tend to go a bit deeper than others with more "why" and without glossing over things that others tend to gloss over.

Instrument Procedures Customer

Your products keep me sharp. I really believe you have fantastic products which I enjoy very much.

Instrument Procedures Customer

Loving the course so far. I found Boldmethod when I was working on my instrument rating and the videos were a game changer for me. There's really nothing like them that I've found.

Instrument Procedures Customer

While it may be pricey, it is WELL worth it so far. I'm already Instrument Rated but one of the "license to learn" types. There's really nothing like it that I've found.
