Flight Training for Ratings

Instrument Rating

This rating allows you to fly in instrument meteorological conditions with sole reference to aircraft instruments. Training will consist of advanced instrument operations, communications, weather, and emergency procedures. When this training has been completed, you will receive the same rating that all instrument pilots, private or professional, have obtained to operate in our intricate IFR system. With an Instrument Rating you will experience the fascination of flying through the clouds and breaking out with your destination airport directly in front of you.
