Cross The Border, IFR
This trip combines the challenges of mountain flying in the Adirondacks, flying in the weather of the Great Lakes, and flying into Canada . In addition to challenging approaches and weather, it is a great way to learn how simple it can be to fly outside of the USA .
FOR WHOM IS IT DESIGNED?
This course is designed as a refresher course for already rated pilots (although IFR students may certainly take it as well) and serves as an excellent IPC (Instrument Proficiency Check). The total flying time averages fourteen hours and 8 approaches will be flown, both precision and non-precision. Approaches will include ILS, LOC, VOR, and RNAV. Pilots that are insured by Avemco Insurance Company will qualify for a 5% discount on their premiums upon completion of this trip.
| THE ITINERARY DAY ONE: Departing 1B1, we head north to Saranac Lake , in the Adirondack Mountains, and then on to Kingston , Ontario , where we’ll stop for lunch.

We might have to go missed in Dunkirk, NY before heading to Cleveland, OH , to spend the night. If you have any energy left after this day, you can go tour the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. |
