Concurrent PPL & Instrument Trng
Have any CFIs here done this? If so, did you build your own syllabus or did you find one of the ones online useful? Did you recommend your student do both checks simultaneously or split them up?

I don't recall anyone doing this back in the day.
If the student was definitely going right into IR, I'd emphasize instrument procedures more during XC work, etc and teach them proper scan and BAI from the get-go.

Back in the day we looked at it and I’d say NO.
You can do a lot of excercises during the Private that would be useful for the IR such as radio navigation and constant speed and constant rate of descent climbs on a radial for instance. Night XC flying Airways etc.
Combine Private and IR…..no….you’ll get a Private pilot that has never learned to look outside.

Thanks for the replies. Supposedly this only became legal with the FAA about a decade ago (plus or minus a few years). However, no one has chosen to really pursue it that I can see (on the inter webs). It would delay the PPL checkride substantially, but might accelerate the instrument rating a bit. If anyone else has any useful input, I’d appreciate it.

The 50hrs XC requirement applies only to a Part 61 IR.
