"To become a competent Aviator you must train with a seasoned professional"
"We appreciate you interest in AFTC. At Accelerated Flight Training Center, our programs are geared for the busy pilot who wants to achieve his or her rating in a few short days, not months."
The most experienced pilots in aviation teach our guaranteed 10-Day Instrument Course. If you can’t travel to us, we will travel to you.
Our 10-DAY IFR COURSE is total immersion as commonly experienced in professional and military training. You can learn in the convenience of your home town or travel to us at our Long Beach, CA facility where you can use our state of the art classrooms and simulators. We teach you the practical side of flying IFR to ensure that you become a competent and safe IFR Rated pilot. All our courses are designed to custom fit the busy schedule of professional men and women. We will also be flexible should unforeseen circumstances occur in your regular training schedule.
Our Professional IFR Flight Training Course includes mastering the following:
- Flight Planning
- Approaches (ILS-VOR-GPS-DME)
- ATC Communications
- SID’S- Dp’S- Stars
- Chart Interpretation

Our guaranteed 7-DAY INSTRUMENT COURSE may be all you need if you have already started your IFR training at another facility.
Our 7-Day IFR course is designed to finish up pilots that have received prior instruction but have been unable to complete their IFR training. Many of our pilots started elsewhere and come to us to complete their training. You will complete the same training as in our 10-day course but the prerequisites differ, as the training time is less.
At all times, your proficiency and safety in the IFR environment is our utmost goal.
Let’s review the great benefits you will receive by choosing AFTC to help you achieve the FAA approved IFR Rating.
The average age of our instructors varies from 45 to 65 years. Our instructors average 8,000 hours each and 2,000 hours of instrument time. We will pair you with an instructor that is dedicated to you and your schedule. During your initial consultation, we will find out the best training schedule for you based upon your professional commitments and prior experience you may have. We will then customize a program for you and GUARANTEE the days and the cost to you before you begin. We find that often we can customize a course less than 10 days and that is a savings to you.
We Guarantee you will receive your IFR Rating per the days contracted or we will pay for the additional training.
Unlike many guaranteed courses, we will complete your rating as we promised. We finish what we start and you will become a safe, proficient IFR Pilot when you complete our course.
