INSTRUMENT RATINGS
Private pilots are limited to looking out the windows and restricted to VFR rules. An instrument rating is an amendment to your pilot license that teaches you to rely on the aircraft’s precision guidance instrumentation to fly through areas of low visibility (clouds, rain, etc). Instrument rating is essential when flying cross country as weather can be unpredictable. Other schools teach flying in low visibility in theory only. Our experienced pilots will provide hands on experience flying in the clouds along with patient top notch instruction. Students will feel confident with their new skills upon graduation.
