Instrument Rating IR

The purpose of our Instrument Rating IR course is to give you the skills and experience needed to make approaches in poor weather and fly in Class A airspace. This course is typically one of the final elements in commercial flight training.

Training occurs in our state of the art FNPT II simulator. Once the required skill level is achieved, the pilot will progress onto our advanced aircraft, equipped with a Garmin G1000 Glass cockpit to fly IFR routes and make instrument approaches into some of the largest regional and international airports.

What you'll learn

A minimum of 30 hours of flying must be completed, Exact training hours will depend on previous flying experience.
