Has anyone done the instrument rating course at Skymates or knows of anyone how has? If so, please share the info. on how much it cost and how long did the program take to complete. Just in gen. if anyone could provide some info. on the instrument rating, cost and time involved for someone who just finished the PPL with around 65hrs.

Thanks.
 
Hey, Chuck. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about that particular school; however, I just completed the instrument rating in November. The end cost for me, including instructor, airplane fees and examiner fee, was about $3,000. With 65 hours, it may take some time to nail the attitude flying portion of the curriculum. As for time, my work schedule didn't allow me to train full-time, so I met with my instructor 3 days a week for about 4 months. I would usually spend about 3 hours with him each time, either flying or working on ground. If you're able to go full-time, you can get it done much sooner. I have a friend who went to one of those accelerated schools and got it done in 10 days, but the price tag was more than $7,000! Hope it helps.
