Pilots, here’s something your flight instructor probably won’t tell you: once you pass your checkride, flying isn’t really about checklists and maneuvers. It’s about making smart decisions and adjusting when things don’t go as planned.

That’s where VFR and IFR Mastery from PilotWorkshops come in.

Every month, you get a brand-new flying scenario—one for VFR pilots and one for IFR pilots—designed to challenge your decision-making skills in a safe, risk-free environment.

Led by PilotWorkshops’ award-winning team of flight instructors, these scenarios focus on practical flying tips and real-world strategies that make you a more confident, more prepared pilot. Whether it’s handling tricky weather, navigating unexpected airspace issues, or making tough go/no-go calls, Mastery helps sharpen the skills you actually use in the cockpit.

It’s more than just reading an article or watching a video—Mastery is a multi-step, interactive experience. First, watch a short video that describes the scenario and the decision you face. Then review comprehensive resources to help you understand each of the options, and vote in the poll to see how your choice compares to other Mastery members.

Then the real learning begins, with a featured response from one of PilotWorkshops’ experts that explains how they approached the scenario and what choice they made. Finally, listen to a roundtable discussion, where multiple instructors debate the options and share invaluable tips for safer flying.

Every roundtable is different, so you may be surprised by what you hear, but you’re guaranteed to learn something. Once you’ve heard from the experts, continue the discussion in The Hangar, PilotWorkshops’ members-only forum, where you can connect with other pilots.

Mastery goes beyond textbook answers to explore the gray areas of general aviation flying. Throughout each scenario, you’ll get an inside look at how experienced pilots think about difficult decisions, and you’ll gain the confidence to use your pilot certificate in a safe and rewarding way.

So join thousands of other pilots who rely on these expert insights to stay sharp. In addition to a new scenario every month, you’ll get access to the complete Mastery archives, with over 80 scenarios to learn from. Sign up for a free trial today at PilotWorkshops.com—and take your flying to the next level.
