Reach for the Horizon with an Instrument Rating

Having your Private Pilot Certificate means you can fly in optimal weather conditions or under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). But why stop there? For greater flexibility in flying conditions, you can enhance your pilot skills by obtaining your Instrument Rating. The added Instrument Rating allows you to fly in low visibility conditions – known as Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) – and navigate busy and congested airspace better. From there you can take your training to the next level to become a Career Pilot.

Think of your Private Pilot Certificate as the gateway toward realizing your dream of flying for fun or even becoming a Career Pilot or a Commercial Pilot. Either way, it’s a passion that can only be enjoyed in the sky and one of the most rewarding decisions that lasts a lifetime.
