Subject: IFR DA-40 program in Phoenix

Dear Sir,

I will start by saying that Chris Shaffer, my instructor for
the better part of November, is a very excellent flight
instructor and a very diligent and dedicated individual.

I entered the above referenced program with very little real
knowledge of the IFR world. This made me a bit skeptical about
the possibility of getting IFR rated within the set period of 15
days. In the end, I did get rated in the allotted time. It was
a significant commitment of time and energy; basically nothing
but IFR training and studying. But the real key to success, in
my estimation, was the hard work, long hours and true dedication
of the instructor. It was a pleasure working with Chris.

I would also like to add that the entire ATP group was not only
friendly, but very supportive. It was truly a pleasure and a
privilege to be a part of the school for the short time I was in
Phoenix.

Best regards,
Jim Tiampo, 
Verbier Management
