Flight Training - Instrument Rating

The Instrument Rating is one of the most challenging ratings, but also the most important. An Instrument Rating allows you to fly under a wider range of weather conditions, and dramatically sharpens your piloting skills. If you are pursuing a career as a professional pilot, this rating is mandatory, and it is often an insurance requirement if you wish to rent faster, more complicated aircraft. If aircraft ownership is one of your goals, an Instrument Rating will save you money on your aircraft insurance.

Ground Training
During your ground you'll learn aircraft control methods, aircraft systems, how the flight instruments work, airports and approaches, plus much more.You will also be able to use our computer based simulator to sharpen your skills with the assistance of our instructors.

Flight Training
Flight training is completed in your aircraft of choice. Our aircrafts are well equipped with the latest radios and avionics (including GPS receivers and auto-pilots). You'll practice controlling the aircraft by reference to its instruments, navigating enroute by navigation aids, and practice approaches to airports.


Prerequisites:

  • Private Pilot Certificate
