MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Original-Message-ID: <6A92E3A0.4DCA8841.35C7CBDD@aol.com> X-Mailer: Atlas Mailer 2.0 X-AOL-IP: 66.82.9.45 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit For Nathon East: The bottom line for selecting an IFR trainer is usually economics. An IFR Cessna-172 rents for about $ 80/hr plus instructor. A IV-P costs approx $ 225/hr just to fly plus instructor. The approaches "can be" flown at just about the same speeds. Yes, there would be advantages in using a IV-P as a trainer but certainly it would not be a very cost effective decision. Happy Training - Bill Hogarty
