you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your
eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will
always yearn to return. |

| Instrument
Rating |
Understanding
the science of instrument rating will not only allow you to
fly more often but having this knowledge will make you a better
and more valuable pilot. Being limited by judgement and equipment,
being able to fly in any weather conditions, holding the Instrument
Rating removes "bad weather" limitations.
To acquire an instrument rating, you must have 50 hours of cross-country
pilot in command (PIC) time and 40 hours of simulated or actual
instrument time (flying with reference to instruments only).
During this time, you will learn holding procedures, advanced
radio navigation, as well as precision and non-precision instrument
approach procedures.
Don't
let poor weather keep you on the ground. Earning an instrument
rating will not only allow you to fly more often and in poor
weather conditions, it will make you a much safer pilot and
give you the skills and confidence you will need when you
encounter unforeseen adverse weather conditions.
