| Field Morey realized long ago what most IFR students find out the hard way: that traditional IFR flight training is slow, frustrating, costly and unnecessarily redundant. If only they could focus on the process of learning, away from the distractions of day-to-day life, dedicate themselves to one goal: IFR mastery while having a whale of a time seeing the Western United States - a true aviation adventure to remember a lifetime! This IFR flight training concept became the basis of Morey's West Coast Adventures more than 30 years ago.
With our Alaska, Rocky Mountain or Wilderness back-country IFR flight training adventures, instrument flight students learn vital instrument flight skills as they work towards their instrument rating in "real world" IMC weather conditions. These are “refresher courses”, and a current IFR rating is not required. If you are not yet IFR rated, the adventure will not end with an IFR rating, but your hours will go towards your future IFR ticket. Even if you have no prior IFR experience, you will learn a great deal about the cross-country aspects of IFR flights.
We've upgraded our instrument flight training fleet to include a brand new 2008 Cessna T182T soon to be equipped with Garmin "Synthetic Vision Technology". This aircraft will be used on the Wilderness Adventure, or on any of our other adventures when the customer(s) desires G1000 training. See our aircraft page for more information.
What some recent Adventure Pilots are saying...
From Blake Picquet, Fort Worth, TX:
"Never will you find another opportunity to combine a legendary instructor with the panoramic views and intensity of the Idaho backcountry. The result is a trip that will put all your skills to the test...commercial, instrument, and of course, fly fishing."
From David Miller, Evansville,IN:
"Just when I thought that my last trip with Field was the most remarkable and rewarding, he comes up with THE WILDERNESS ADVENTURE. Flying the mountains and back country of Idaho leaves one with no question as to soft field and short field technique. How can flying mountains and landing with little or no runway be so much fun and exciting? THE WILDERNESS ADVENTURE will show you how. This is a flying experience that will leave you wondering 'how am I ever again going to enjoy flying flat lands and landing on boring paved runways?"

Grab the last spot on a very special Rocky Mountain Adventure and photo mission!
If you'd like to see the scenic Rockies at a time of year when the Aspen trees are in full color, our October trip offers great IFR instruction opportunities with a unique twist. The trip will be Oct. 5-10, 2008, and will be filmed by David Miller for showing at the West Coast Adventures booth at this year's AOPA Expo in San Jose. Miller has produced numerous videos of our IFR adventure flights, so this special Rockies trip will be just that much more exciting. Visit our Rockies trip page here.
Field Morey has recently been designated by the Federal Aviation Administration as a Pilot Examiner for Southern Oregon.
