THE INSTRUMENT RATING IS TYPICALLY THE FIRST STEP A PILOT TAKES AFTER OBTAINING THE PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE
IF THEY CHOOSE. THIS RATING ALLOWS YOU TO FLY YOUR AIRPLANE WITH LITTLE OR NO REFERENCE OUTSIDE YOUR AIRCRAFT, CONTROLLING
IT SOLELY BY REFERENCE TO THE INSTRUMENTS. THE TRAINING IS VERY CHALLENGING, BUT ALSO SOME OF THE MOST REWARDING FLYING A
PILOT CAN UNDERTAKE. IF YOU PLAN ON BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL PILOT, THE INSTRUMENT RATING IS A REQUIRED STEP IN YOUR TRAINING.
IF YOU PLAN ON FLYING ONLY FOR LEISURE THIS TRAINING IS NOT AT ALL NECESSARY, BUT WILL ALLOW YOU TO BE FAR LESS
RESTRICTED BY INCLEMENT WEATHER, AND GREATLY IMPROVE YOUR SKILL AS AN AIRMAN.
