IFR TRAINING, INSTRUMENT RATING FLIGHT TRAINING COURSE

CESSNA 172SP or CESSNA 182T / Garmin G1000 - IFR PILOT TRAINING COURSE

ATTENTION AIRCRAFT OWNERS!!!!! Save up to 25% on your airplane insurance by getting an Instrument Rating!

Fly IFR! Get your Instrument Rating! This complete IFR training course is designed to take the average Private Pilot who has logged at least 50 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot in command, to an IFR rated pilot including preparing you for the FAA Instrument Rating Knowledge exam and your IFR Practical Test!

Proper IFR training doesn't have to take a long time! Using Cessna's FAA Approved Instrument Rating Computer Based Instruction program, FAA approved simulator and PCATD, experienced CFII flight instructors and IFR certified, Garmin G-1000 equipped IFR training aircraft, gives you the right combination to ensure that you will be trained as a safe and proficient Instrument Rated pilot in less time than with traditional training models. You can fly IFR with confidence when you know you've been trained by the best!

The instrument rating will expand the flying privileges of your Private Pilot license to include flying in IFR weather conditions that is below the minimums required for flight under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Many pilots say that the training they receive during their instrument rating training course makes them an all around better pilot as well, and many insurance companies are now giving discounts of up to 25% for pilots with an Instrument Rating.
