Instrument Rating Prep

For certificated pilots preparing for the instrument rating: procedures, charts, and approaches, on the ground and in the simulator.

Instrument Rating Prep is a one-day intensive for private pilots who want to start instrument training with the theory already in hand. Morning sessions cover the instrument scan, holding, and approach procedures; the afternoon is spent flying approaches in the simulator with an instructor.

About this course

Instrument Rating Prep is a one-day intensive for private pilots who want to start instrument training with the theory already in hand. Morning sessions cover the instrument scan, holding, and approach procedures; the afternoon is spent flying approaches in the simulator with an instructor.

What You Need to Know:

  • One day, 8am to 5pm, with lunch provided
  • Simulator time is logged and counts toward the rating
  • Maximum eight students, so everyone flies the simulator

Bring your logbook and a current chart subscription if you have one. The course does not replace instrument flight training, it makes the first ten hours of it far more productive.

What's included

Course materials, simulator time, and lunch.

Prerequisites

A private pilot certificate. Bring your logbook.

What to bring

Bring a government photo ID and anything listed under prerequisites. Flight students bring a logbook if they have one; yoga students bring water and comfortable clothes. Mats, props and aviation headsets are provided.
