INSTRUMENT RATING

Fly confidently in low-visibility weather

An instrument rating allows you to fly safely when visibility is poor. This broadens the days you can fly and adds an extra layer of safety to every trip.

Master your aircraft’s instruments

IFR training teaches you precise control using instruments alone. You learn advanced navigation, tracking, and altitude control — skills that benefit all your flying.

Improve overall safety and flexibility

With an instrument rating, changing weather becomes far less limiting. You can plan with more confidence and continue flights that would otherwise be grounded.

Step toward advanced or professional training

IFR is essential for commercial flying and most advanced ratings. It’s a vital milestone for pilots looking to progress further.

Become a more capable, disciplined pilot

Instrument flying develops calm, disciplined decision-making. It often represents the biggest jump in a pilot’s skill and confidence.
