Instrument Rating

Our Instrument Rating course is designed to take your piloting skills to the next level by teaching you how to safely and confidently operate an aircraft in low visibility and under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). This certification is essential for pilots looking to expand their capabilities, fly in a wider range of weather conditions, and enhance their overall safety and decision-making skills. Throughout the course, you will receive expert one-on-one instruction in both flight and ground training, covering IFR navigation, precision approaches, holding patterns, air traffic control communications, and emergency procedures. You will build proficiency in flying solely by reference to instruments, gaining the confidence to navigate complex airspace and challenging weather conditions. The training includes a combination of simulator time and in-aircraft instruction to help you develop precise control and situational awareness. With a minimum of 40 instrument flight hours required by the FAA, our flexible pay-as-you-go structure ensures you can progress at a pace that works for you. Our aircraft rental rate is $150 per hour (wet), with instructor rates at $60 per hour. Military discounts are available for eligible students. Whether you’re aiming to advance your aviation career or improve your piloting skills, our Instrument Rating course will equip you with the knowledge and hands-on experience to operate safely and efficiently in IFR conditions.
