Not every pilot needs an instrument rating, but it will give you the confidence
to make a journey when the weather is less than perfect. You will have the
skills necessary to make it safely to your destination if conditions worsen.
Just like all of our programs, we have developed a highly structured flight
training syllabus to help you master the intricacies of instrument flying.
Our training program operates under FAA Part 61. Depending each student's level
of experience, we make an effort not only to teach instrument skills, but also
to introduce Crew Resource Management (CRM) Training and concepts.

Estimated Costs
The cost of adding an Instrument Airplane rating to your Private Pilot Certificate
will depend greatly on the amount of experience you have. The majority of new
Private Pilots typically have around 5 hours of Pilot In Command (PIC) cross-country
time and just over 3 hours of simulated instrument time. The FAA requires at
least of 50 hours PIC cross-country time and 40 hours of instrument time to
be eligible for an instrument rating. Our training syllabus is designed to
help you reach both these time requirements, so that you will have the FAA
requirements as efficiently as possible.

Assuming you just completed your private pilot
certificate, you will need an additional 45 hours of flight time to get your
instrument rating. If you complete all of this time with one of our instructors,
it will cost $6,012. In order to reduce this cost, we encourage our students
to fly some of these hours either solo or with other Private Pilots that are
enrolled in our Instrument Airplane Course. The recommended time in our simulator
will cost approximately $500. Books, supplies, and exam fees will cost an additional
$400. If you begin work on you instrument rating immediately after getting
your Private Pilot Certificate, we believe a reasonable estimate to get your
Instrument Rating will be $6,500.
If you have had your Private Pilot Certificate and already meet the minimum
time requirements, it is possible to get your Instrument Ratings in under $2,000.
