An experimental program, which combines instrument and private pilot flight instruction, has been conducted using general aviation simulators and training airplanes. The program consisted of a total of 112.6 hours (34 simulator and 78.6 aircraft) and emphasized the acquisition of instrument flight skills. The ability to control the aircraft during visual flight rules (VFR) flight, i.e., contact flight, was gained during the aircraft flight which was primarily dedicated to instrument flight training. Six beginning flight students served as subjects. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated during three intermediate stage checks, and a final check ride, conducted by FAA flight examiners. All evaluations included both an instrument and a private check. Three of the six subjects demonstrated ability equal to a private pilot with instrument rating; one subject fell short in some procecure and control areas; one subject has not completed the third stage check nor the final check; and one subject withdrew.
