An instrument rating program allows pilots to complete their instrument rating training in a shorter time frame compared to traditional programs, often through intensive, focused instruction.

The 141 instrument rating requirements include a minimum of 35 hours of ground training and 35 hours of flight training, along with passing the FAA written examination and practical test.

The duration varies based on individual progress, but our program is designed to be completed in a few weeks to a couple of months.

An instrument rating enhances flight safety, opens up more advanced flying opportunities, and improves overall pilot skills and confidence.

Pilots must hold at least a Private Pilot License (PPL) and have a valid medical certificate to enroll in the instrument rating course.

To earn an instrument rating, you need a minimum of 40 hours of instrument flight time, which includes actual or simulated conditions. Of these, 15 hours must be with an authorized instructor, and you must complete at least one cross-country flight of 250 nautical miles under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Depending on your progress, you may need more hours to build the skills necessary to meet the requirements and pass the practical test.
