IMC Adventure
Available by Appointment
June 1 - August 31
Most instrument pilots earn a rating without ever spending meaningful time in actual IMC. The IMC Adventure changes that.
Join Jason Miller for two intensive days of real-world IFR flying in Northern California's famous summer marine layer. Based at Nevada County Airport, you'll spend each morning flying into the Bay Area's unique low-cloud environment.
No ice. No thunderstorms. Minimal turbulence. Just real clouds, real approaches, and real experience.
Over 16 hours of flight training, you'll build confidence flying in actual IMC, practice approaches to minimums, sharpen your IFR decision-making, and learn how professional pilots manage risk and automation in the modern cockpit.
Whether you're preparing for an instrument checkride or looking to become truly proficient in the system, this adventure delivers the experience most pilots never get.
