WHY CHOOSE
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)?
The course trains private and commercial pilots to operate in clouds or under low visibility conditions, relying solely on instruments. Rather than visually scanning for other aircraft, pilots flying under IFR rely on ATC to prevent potential collisions, thus opening new opportunities and enhancing flight safety.
Gain in-depth instrument knowledge
You’ll study the airplane’s avionics equipment inside and out, understand how each of your aircraft’s instruments works, and learn how to react efficiently in case of instrument failure.
Increase your flying time
Flight cancellations due to adverse weather conditions are common. However, with the help of IFR, which enables you to fly through clouds, you’ll experience fewer flight cancelations. This way, you can keep working on increasing the number of flight hours in your logbook.
One more step towards commercial operation
Completion of IFR training is necessary for pilots who want to enter commercial aviation. An IFR endorsement and a pilot license are prerequisites for an MCC course and a Type Rating.
You can choose from a single-engine piston (SEP) or multi-engine piston (MEP) Instrument Rating.
