Rusty & Student Pilots / Re: Accelerated Instrument vs. regular

I've been informed that I need to get off my ass and finish my instrument rating.  About 20 years ago I was nearly done and in the "polishing" stage when my wife got very sick and my priorities changed.  Some 16 years later I took the written again, got training lined up and then Covid.  Two years later I took the written again, got an instructor lined up, and then he moved to Florida leaving no choices.  I'm finally ready to go again.

So... do any of you have any experience with one of the accelerated instrument training programs?  Total immersion for a couple weeks and just get it done.  Or I can go the usual route with a couple flights a week and get it done that way.

Advice?  Comments?  Suggestions?

Not sure where you are in your instrument training but I would highly recommend an accelerated program. These guys were great to work with when I did mine. https://www.iflyifr.com/

I was going to post some photos from a recent flight for people's enjoyment, but it seems the size of total attachments is limited to 1 MB which is quite limiting. Can we get more space and throughput for the forum?

Storage can get costly on physically the drive space but also the performance of a forum.

If you want to share a bunch of photos, I would suggest looking into some of these image and file hosting sites. Most are free. You should easily be able to share the images in the forum by clicking on the insert image button below the "B" - Bold and the smiley, then entering the image link between the |img| http... |img| tags.

I wonder if our admin can tell us if these two accounts are using the same IP.

Would it really matter? Its not real hard to hide your IP address if you really want to.

$3K for 300 hours of training seems like a good deal to me. If only one could get 300 hours of flight training for $3000

There is also freeforums.org

I have used most of the free forums out there in the past. I think this one is one of the better ones as it has a good many plugins for features. Vbulletin is better though and so are some of the other paid ones. Really just depends on what you want.

Does the free software have any sort of index rebuild functionality?  It sounds like a couple of corrupted links.

I will look into that.

Looks like their $14.99/mo plan would be fine if one of you wants to get it, I can help get it setup. http://www.vbulletin.com/en/vbulletin-cloud/

Plus I read this thread up to Mr. Pou's latest post and it still shows on the list of "New unread posts".

Like I said, something is buggy somewhere.

Must be what we get for using a free forum software. :) Anyone want to purchase a vbulletin subscription?

Also, those of you that cant find a post you made. see if it shows on this page of your posts please. http://www.pilotspin.com/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts

NOTE TO JASON:  If this (and other threads) are down as "Reported", that is NOT my intention. On the new version if Tapatalk, when I want to quote a thread, the first option on the left is "Report" instead of "Quote", and my fast thumb accidentally hit the "Report" button.

I noticed some threads getting reported. I was wondering why, thanks.

I do not see the issue on my end. Try deleting the cookies on your browser and reporting back.  :o

Disregard one ATP vote. Checked the wrong box. Should have checked Comm/IR. Also have a SES and ATP MEL. Since I retired my brain wants to forget everything I knew about aviation, but somehow it can't.
