Because of the relatively high involvement of low-time noninstrument rated general aviation pilots in fatal weather-related accidents, a study was undertaken by the FAA through a contract with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (E-RAU) to determine the relationship between total flight time and the ability to acquire instrument flying skills. Specifically, the study examined the feasibility of reducing the present 200-hour experience requirement (FAR 61.65) for an instrument rating. The results of the study indicated that a reduction in the 200-hour requirement should be considered. The study reported here extended the findings of that study to a more heterogeneous population, aircraft of greater complexity, and a training program conducted in a noninstitutional setting. Thirty-five low-time pilots of diverse ages and occupations completed an instrument training program conducted at the FAA Technical Center. Cessna 172 and Mooney M20 aircraft were used in training.
