Instrument Rating Airplane (SEL) Course
An instrument rating is added to your existing pilot license to permit you to fly under instrument flight rules (IFR). In the most basic definition, IFR means without reference to the ground and is generally used for high altitude and poor weather flying. If considering the professional pilot program, having an instrument rating is strongly recommended.
Enrollment Prerequisites
- Must have an FAA Private or Commercial Airplane Pilot Certificate
Eligibility Requirements
- Read, speak, write and understand English
Note: Up to 10 hours toward your instrument rating may be flown in our FAA approved flight simulator. See alternate pricing.
Hours are based on Part 141 FAA minimums, not average completion times. Rates listed for the aircraft are block rates, available when customer chooses cash deposit option of $3,000 deposit increments. Add $10/hr for regular rate on the aircraft rental if not choosing block payments. Prices for books & supplies, the knowledge test, the FAA’s practical test and your medical certificate may vary.
