Description:

This is a full IFR refresher course that is primarily for instrument rated airplane pilots.  But, it is also for those currently studying for their initial instrument rating.  Captain Mike Jesch will review everything from pilot qualifications and logging, through equipment requirements, flight planning, weather, charts, regulations, and documents, to in-flight techniques to hone your single pilot IFR flying skills, and much, much more.

Bring your fully-charged iPad or other device loaded with your favorite EFB and flight data and documents appropriate to California. Or, bring your paper charts.

Mike Jesch has been a single and multi-engine instrument ground and flight instructor since 1985 and has flown many thousands of hours “In the System.”  He puts that wealth of knowledge and experience together with an open and approachable style to help refresh your knowledge, confidence, and readiness to be an IFR pilot.

Mike‘s (mostly) day job has been with a major airline since 1987, where he has flown as Captain on the Boeing 737 since 2002.  But, his “real” flying takes place in an IFR-equipped Cessna 182 based at Fullerton or whatever his clients show up in to fly that day.  He is a two-time Master CFI and a FAASTeam Lead Representative in the Long Beach (CA) FSDO.  As a speaker on the national stage, he has presented on a wide range of subjects across the country for numerous groups, including AOPA, The Ninety-Nines, EAA, Aviation Mastery, and more.
