Instrument Rating
The Instrument Rating (or IFR) builds on the knowledge you have learned in your Private Pilot or Commercial Pilot training, and allows you to fly an aircraft under Instrument Meteorological Conditions - IMC - (in or above the clouds, or in reduced visibility).
SCHEDULE
You can start at any time. We provide guided self-study to meet the requirements of the rating, as ground school is not required, or you can have one of our instructors tutor you as necessary. The flight and simulator training is done in conjunction with your schedule.
PRIVILEGES
The basic Instrument Rating allows you to fly your aircraft with all of the privileges of your Private Pilot Licence or Commercial Pilot Licence, but without reference to the ground. This means that you can fly in reduced visibility and in or above the clouds if you have the equipment to do so. If you complete the Multi-Engine Rating first, you can do the same thing in multi-engine aircraft!
