No longer do you have to cancel your flight plans due to cloudy weather and low visibility! If you want to become a better, more proficient pilot, then the instrument rating is your next step.
Instrument flight training comes after your Private Pilot Certificate, and allows you to operate in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) and under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules). You will learn about weather and its effects on the aircraft and you. You will learn how to manipulate the aircraft solely by reference to instruments. Even if you plan only to fly in good weather, we strongly recommend the instrument rating, not only to become a more skilled pilot, but also to account for everyday suprises.
