Instrument Rating

Instrument flying is an exciting aspect of flying to some and something to be avoided by others. Instrument Flight refers to the flight and navigation of the aircraft solely by instruments. This rating gives you the ability to takeoff through low fog layers, fly through clouds and stormy conditions and land at an airport that you may otherwise not be able to land if you were flying under Visual Flight Rules. Even if you are not planning on flying in adverse weather conditions, obtaining your instrument rating will truly make you a better pilot overall, and if you are ever caught in adverse weather, you will be much better prepared.
