The Instrument Rating (IFR) Course is an essential step for pilots looking to expand their flying capabilities. It begins with in-depth ground school training, focusing on instrument navigation, meteorology, and flight planning under IFR conditions.
As you progress to practical IFR flight training, you will develop the ability to fly solely by instruments, navigating without external visual references. The course includes simulated IFR scenarios, approach procedures, and emergency response training to prepare you for real-world IFR operations.
You will learn to handle radio communications, air traffic control coordination, and advanced flight planning, essential for commercial and airline operations. The final step is the FAA check ride, where your IFR skills will be tested under controlled flight conditions.
What You Can Do with an Instrument Rating
