INSTRUMENT PILOT

An instrument rating is a challenging and fun rating that allows the Private Pilot to fly only by reference to the instruments.  It is a necessary next step towards a Commercial Pilot certificate. With this program you embark on an exciting endeavour - learning to fly through clouds and low visibility.
