Instrument Rating - program description

The Instrument Rating is the next step after obtaining a Private pilot certificate. It enables a pilot to fly in any type of weather conditions and at any altitude. We can offer the instrument course under both part 141 and part 61.

With a Private Pilot Certificate, a pilot is only limited to fly under visual flight rules, (VFR). This means a pilot can only navigate his aircraft through visual references outside the airplane during clear weather conditions. A private pilot must avoid clouds and any other dangerous weather events (fog, rain, low visibility etc.). This is why the instrument rating is vital to have so in the event that these weather conditions arise, a pilot will be able to operate the aircraft in a safe manner.

The Instrument Rating is the most challenging course in the entire pilot training curriculum. The performance of flight is now determined solely on an aircraft’s instruments as opposed to visual references outside. Pilots must mentally prepare themselves during flight to trust their instrument panels to avoid special disorientation. This occurs when pilots may feel like they are flying upside down when actually the aircraft is flying straight and level.

This course needs special attention to detail as it is based solely on the safety of the pilots and passengers when it comes to flying in poor weather conditions.
