Then again, navy and marine pilots do no
only their IFR but also basic training in a T-34 Charlie – which slightly
outperforms a L-IV. Its all a matter pre-planning.

IFR training in a IV-P?
OK guys, I got my IFR in a C-172. In reviewing the comments,
I think that there is a middle ground. The L-IV is a bit fast for learning. You
need to start slow, and get the fundamentals down. Then, once you have the
procedures learned, you can go faster.
To put it all together, I think that you should learn in a
slow airplane. Then re-train in the fast glass. That way, you get the most
possible benefit. You learn at an appropriate pace to your level of skill. Then
you apply it to the plane you will use.

SNIP>>if possible, get the instrument training in the
plane that you are going to fly. it only makes practical sense.
I think that if you have a IV-P you should get your rating
and
experience in the IV-P. It just doesn't make any, non monetary, since
to me why, if you fly a IV-P, you would want to get a rating and
experience in anything else.
I would definitely do the IFR
training in the plane you are going to fly. I
don't see the point on saving some money doing it in a spam can, which behaves
nothing like the 4-P (the spammer is much more forgiving as I am sure that you
You need to get used to the speeds and power settings of the plane you
are flying.>> SNIP
I had to roll up my pants legs after reading the latest
posts. C'mon guys -- are you speaking from experience or just bullshittin' the
crowd? How many of you got an instrument rating in anything bigger or
faster than a C172 (military crowd excepted)? How many of you have
actually taught instruments lately? Will the real CFI(I)'s please stand
up? Learning to fly instruments is challenging enough for anyone. It probably
the most difficult rating to get. In my limited experience as a Designated
Pilot Examiner-- it is also the one with the highest failure rate. Learning to
fly instruments is not going to be facilitated by doing the training in a LIVP.
Could you do it? Probably-- but it ain't going to be pretty.
