AFit-Info.com is a flight and instrument training provider, based in CA
We appreciate your interest in Accelerated Flight & Instrument Training. Our program is geared for the busy pilot who wants to achieve his or her rating in a few short days, not over the course of 9 months. Our Instructors are 100% committed to your schedule, meaning if you want to start at 5:00 am or 12:00 pm whichever fits your schedule for that particular day or days.
Our success is largely due to the quality of our Instrument Flight Instructors. The average age of our Instructors varies from 55 to 58 years young. Our instructors average 8000 hours each and 2000 hours of instrument time. We assign an instructor who is totally dedicated to you and your schedule. Each pilot client is interviewed prior to training to customize the course to his or her needs. In many cases we find that the course can take fewer days to complete, with a savings to you.
We guarantee our 10 day IFR course: If additional training is needed to complete the course, it is done at no additional training cost (for an additional day). Our training program is organized and simplified. The program is designed to address the everyday IFR challenges without the confusion. The program is challenging and enjoyable. You will’ become a Safe, Proficient and Confident IFR Pilot. "The company realized the huge potential for gaining market share in the Accelerated Flight Training industry by guaranteeing its Accelerated Flight & Instrument Training services and continuing our complete and innovative "Turn Key Training Courses."
Program costs are $495.00 per day: We do not differ between finish up and refresher courses. All our training is important to our clients and all clients receive our undivided attention. Each client has individual needs, thus, different number of days required to complete their training depending upon previous experience, training and avionics on board. We will determine the time needed in our primary contact and commit to you in writing. Other costs involved are: RT airfare for the instructor. (Our Instructors take care of their own meals.) Client provides a place for our instructor to stay (client makes reservation at place they are familiar with) Client provides local ground transportation for our instructor (extra car in family or rental car. When we utilize a local instructor, RT airfare, Hotel and rental car is not required. We bill .45 cents a mile for RT and local mileage. We are not about trying to sell you as many days as possible. We will give you the best possible instruction the industry has to offer, arrive and leave in the shortest amount of time possible. We know that when we do, we will hear from you again in the future. If you complete your course in less than 10 days, you are not charged for days not utilized.
We’re seeing a number of positive indications that our clients are turning more to the latest Avionics and increasingly insist upon actual training without the use of our simulators. We believe there is no substitute for actual. However, we do and will send a simulator upon the client’s request.
Course Information: The course consists of 8 to 10 hrs per day, divided between flight and classroom time. Your training is based on a building block of instruction in an organized manner. Each lesson is thoroughly explained so you fully understand each step. You are trained not only to pass the PTS requirements but also to be a proficient Instrument Pilot. You will be trained in all the latest avionics, GPS, HIS, MFD, Glass Panel, etc. onboard your aircraft. You will be trained to be proficient in all the avionics in your aircraft and all back up. When ever possible you will be trained in actual IMC conditions. We believe it is important to experience actual IFR during training to be sure you understand actual. We set up the examiner and check ride for the end of your training. "We arrange a meeting with the examiner within the first few days of training, then, if possible, schedule the oral for the evening of the 9th day and then the check ride late morning on the tenth day after a practice check ride with the instructor to ensure things are fresh in your mind and you are well prepared for the check ride." Before our instructor leaves you, there will be no doubt in his mind you will be able to handle any situation that comes your way in the air. You will be a Safe, Proficient and Confident IFR Pilot.
More than 90 percent of all clients in 2005 and 2006 rated their training experience with AFIT very good, or excellent. In comparison to any previous training they have received. In 2006 over 60 percent of our overall business came from repeat and referral business. We continue to make headway by taking the positive and steady route, taking advantage of the fact we offer a variety of Accelerated Flight Training solutions which are particularly reassuring to our clients. These are exactly the kinds of messages our clients are looking for in order to respond and eliminate any apprehensions they may have towards accelerated courses.
Partner Program: If any of your aircraft partners needs an instrument rating we do offer a 17 day, two pilot program, which has great scheduling flexibility for the clients. It is usually for pilots who own the same plane and or in business together. Example: both pilots train together on charts, weather, regulations and flight planning. Training flights are alternate between the two and often times the other pilot rides along which is very helpful. This program is very attractive as reduces training days from 20 down to 17 training days.

Our Finish-up Course is one of our most popular training programs. We re-train several students each month. Often times they have just recently become Instrument Rated, but when they found themselves faced with true IMC weather they suddenly didn't feel as comfortable as they had hoped. Please be advised, when faced with IMC weather conditions in the midst of training, we do, FLY, AND TRAIN IN IT, there is no better way to be evaluated then in actual IMC conditions. When our instructor leaves you, there will be no doubt in his mind, you are able to handle any situation that comes your way in the air.
