How to Earn Your Instrument Rating
My best advice on how to save both time and money!
Earning your instrument rating will take your piloting skills to an entirely new level.
Adding an instrument rating to your pilot certificate will permit you to fly into weather that would otherwise keep you grounded. You will learn how to fly by instruments only, as well as learn instrument approach procedures and departures. You will also develop a deeper level of understanding on weather and Air Traffic Control communications, aircraft control, and aeronautical decision making.
An instrument rating is recommended to all pilots willing to take their knowledge and skills to the next level as you will develop into a much safer and more capable pilot.
It is also a requirement for anyone wishing to pursue a career in aviation.
Instrument Rating Requirements:
- Log 50 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot in command
- Log 40 hours of simulated IMC flight time
- Log 15 hours of instrument flight instruction from an authorized instructor
