The optimization of flight training operations at higher educational institutions can be helpful in increasing the efficiency at which student pilots attain their certification and help supply more pilots into the industry. Large training institutions usually offer students certain blocks of time to conduct their training, At these schools, the Instrument course is usually administered during daytime or nighttime flight blocks. The purpose of this research study was to analyze if there was a significant difference in cost and dual-given time it takes to complete the Instrument course during the day compared to at night. Two independent samples t-tests were conducted; the parameters selected were Two-Tail, with a sample size of 128. Archival data records of higher educational aviation institutes was analyzed. This research paper demonstrated how flight block times can significantly impact both the cost and completion time for the Instrument course at aviation universities, and highlighted factors that led to these results.
