Earn your Instrument Rating – make your certificate even more powerful

An Instrument rating allows you to fly in varied types of weather with reference to the flight instruments only. A pilot holding an instrument rating is less likely to be stranded on the ground during periods of low ceilings and visibility. In addition, you have the security of knowing that if the weather unexpectedly turns bad in flight, you can continue to the destination without having to divert. The Instrument Rating adds confidence and utility to your existing license even if you don’t plan to fly in more challenging weather conditions.

Requirements to start Instrument Training:

• The FAA requires a minimum of a Private Pilot Certificate.
• The FAA requires an FAA Third Class Medical Certificate or basic med equivalent.

To supplement ground training and written test prep, we utilize our modern distance learning system – Sporty’s complete online Instrument Course. For ground and flight training, we use our own published Training Course Outline (TCO) to structure each training lesson. We offer Instrument training in both 141 and 61 formats.

Estimated course time and associated costs are below. Training times to obtain the required proficiency may vary and are greatly affected by the consistency of training. Remember, you do not have to pay this amount up front; it is spread out over the length of your training.

Financing options available from AOPA.
