Airplane Instrument Rating

If an airplane is a tool you utilize regularly, then you surely have been stuck on the ground waiting for the clouds to clear. The instrument rating allows a pilot to file, fly, and operate in the IFR (instrument flight rules) environment while not having to worry about cloud clearances and visibility.

As an instrument rated pilot, you can:

• Operate in the IFR system

• Travel in all types of airspace - even class A

•  Fly into almost any airport you desire, including those served by airlines.

• Plan on making the departure or arrival on time and not have to wait for clouds to clear

We standardize our training by using the Jeppesen training materials for ground and air instruction, incorporating printed and video materials. We also utilize training materials from a variety of sources such as the Federal Aviation Administration, King Schools, ASA, and Cessna aircraft.

During your training for your instrument rating, you will be exposed to the world of IFR flight. No matter if you are a Cessna flying for personal reasons or an airliner flying passengers, the IFR system integrates you all. In the instrument course, you will cover:

• Basic Attitude Instrument Flying

• Meteorology and Weather

• Navigation via ground and space based systems

• Usage of the Air Traffic Control IFR System

• Flying instrument approaches
