I sent this to the GG but Mark intercepted it. I guess this he feels this is
something that our Grumman pilots should be discussing there.... ??? He did
give me a reply with his opinion but I'd like to get more than one.

I've completed the King video series for my inst ground school but just
cannot seem to do well with the practice test available on sportys.com, any

this is welcomed as well.

Hi Steve,
PIC has been discussed on the GG in the past, if I remember rightly. Try
looking on grumman.net/archive and see what you dig up.
so than the intensive courses where you go to them, as opposed to them
sending an instructor to you, which is how PIC works. I think you do
already have to have passed your written.
Ron Levy has done some instruction for PIC, I think.

Steve-
Regarding your instrument training, what is the big hurry? Too many pilots
use accelerated training as a way just to finish and get through a rating.
Your instrument rating is difficult because it is probably the most
important rating you will ever get. Flying the aircraft in actual conditions
can be accomplished by most competent pilots. However I have run into to
many pilots that are instrument rated and have no real concept of the rules,
regulations, and procedures that should be implicated while flying under IFR
conditions. Just dont pass the IFR written exam. Learn it and know the
questions inside and out. Grasp the concepts, rules, navigational
procedures, and so forth. Remember when you begin to fly into IFR airspace
you're now up there with the professionals, and nothing drives professional
pilots more crazy than incompetent IFR pilots in actual conditions.

I used PIC to complete my rating. It's not a matter of being in a hurry.
It's a matter of not starting and stopping the training over a long and
inefficient period of time where life's other priorities keep getting in the
way and you end up repeating lessons and wasting money relearning skills.
PIC also screens its instructors carefully. They typically aren't time
builders and definitely will not leave you in the middle of your training
for a better job. It is a program which I believe has a proven track
record.

It can also be difficult because people are driving to the one lesson
they've had in two weeks and are thinking about the business report their
boss is expecting the day after tomorrow.

Many pilots do not stay current after the rating is attained. When you take
the PIC course and pass your checkride, you will know the rules.

You aren't going to be unprofessional because of PIC.
