Professional Instrument Courses celebrates its 25th anniversary

By General Aviation News Staff · July 22, 2005 ·

Professional Instrument Courses, Inc. of Essex, Conn., a pioneer in the 10-day instrument course, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

Founded in 1980, the company is best known for its personalized 10-day instrument rating course presented at a student’s location anywhere in the United States. P.I.C. sends a professional instructor with a portable flight simulator to the pilot. The instructor gives ground school and simulator lessons in the pilot’s home and accelerated flight training from a local airport. The instructor stays in a local motel, tailoring the eight-hour daily schedule to the client’s convenience. Most clients receive their instrument rating in 10 days. The company, which has trained more than 10,000 pilots, has graduates in all 50 states and as well as in other countries.

The company also offers refresher courses and insurance company approved type training for a wide variety of aircraft.
