Instrument Rating
One step further than the private pilot license is the Instrument rating. During the Private Pilot Course you learned about using the gauges and even had a little practice flying by instruments, but this rating takes you much deeper into that ability. By achieving your instrument rating you will be able to fly during inclement weather and cloud cover, all without needing to see outside of the aircraft.
