Instrument Rating
Adding an instrument rating will allow you to operate an aircraft solely by referencing the flight instruments as you soar through the clouds. Our instructors use specialized training techniques to provide students a clear and concise understanding of the IFR environment. In addition to fight training, a strong emphasis is placed on learning an instrument "scan" on a desktop simulator. This allows the student to grasp the fundamentals of instrument flight on the ground before transitioning to the aircraft. Successful completion of this course requires pilot discipline and consistent scheduling.
