An Instrument Rating allows you to fly in the clouds with no outside visual references. This enables you to navigate through the airspace system and get from point A to B in weather conditions that would normally force you to stay on the ground. Furthermore, an Instrument Rating will make you a much safer, more confident and more employable pilot.

Minimum flight hours required: 40 hours of simulated or actual instrument time, at least 15 hours in the helicopter.
