Meet Bill Fischer

TSA Certified Flight Instructor

An experienced instructor who genuinely cares about your success and safety.

Advance Aircraft Training is an accredited flight training school started by Bill Fischer to help pilots complete their Instrument Flight Rules, IFR rating in a timely fashion. Here’s why: Bill is a Certified Flight Instructor who likes to teach, loves to fly, and genuinely wants to see pilots be safe and have fun because of the confidence they will enjoy after getting their IFR ticket through his accelerated program.

Bill says, “I’ve had so many people come to me that just couldn’t complete their rating! They had instructors switch on them, or change schedules or the check ride wasn’t booked, and they lost their window of opportunity. I wanted to change all that, so I developed my extremely effective 10-day intense training IFR course.“

What Makes Our Program Different

We’ve simplified the complex IFR certification process into a streamlined, guaranteed path to success. After you have completed our course, you will be licensed — and you will be able to fly back and land safely in weather that may have changed from when you took off. You and your family will feel much more confident and secure in your flying abilities.

Accelerated Program

We have accelerated the entire process. After 10 days, pilots have their IFR rating.

Simplifying the written test

At Advance Aircraft Training, we take the hardest part of the FAA’s test and clarify it, so it is easy to understand, learn, pass, and implement the concepts.

Real IFR Experience

Giving students confidence with actual IFR flight experiences. Bill shows the technique and then hands over the controls until it’s all but automatic.

Save Time & Money

Once the training is scheduled, the price for the entire ten days is set, if additional time is needed the days are scheduled at 50% of normal costs. No add-ons. No surprises. No waiting. No ‘switcheroos.’
Insurance premiums with IFR are much less than with VFR.

We Come to You

Train in your own aircraft or a chartered plane. Bill has taught pilots across the United States, Canada, Central and South America—bringing expert instruction directly to you.

Confidence and Proficiency

Before Bill Fischer leaves you with the DPE, there will be no doubt in his mind that you will be able to handle any situation that comes your way in the air during the check ride and long after your lessons.

Student Testimonials

Steve in Grand Rapids, MI

“I don’t know how you do it in 40-45 hours but when we finished I felt I really was competent to fly in IFR. The examiner told me that he felt I was very well trained. I wish to thank you for flying with me through the actual IFR also. It was a real confidence builder.”

Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE)

“Hey Bill, “Just a follow up to say it was a pleasure working with you in getting Griffin his instrument rating! He did a very nice job! You did a great job with him. I will certainly try to catch up with you next time I’m out your way. And please keep me in mind if you ever need a DPE in this area again. Sincerely, Stuart Thank you!”
