Instrument Rating

Fly Excellentia

The Instrument Rating (IR) course trains pilots to fly safely and confidently in a wide range of weather conditions using only instruments for navigation and control. It covers procedures for departure, en-route, approach, and landing phases under instrument flight rules (IFR). Key topics include instrument scanning, radio navigation, IFR regulations, and decision-making in low-visibility environments. Flight training involves both simulator and in-aircraft instruction. The IR is essential for commercial operations and airline careers, and it’s also a valuable qualification for those seeking flexibility and advancement in the wider aviation industry.
