Unlock the Skies...

The Instrument Rating allows a private pilot to fly in Instrument Meteorological Conditions, or IMC. That means flying in the clouds, or any time the aircraft must be flown solely by reference to instruments. All Instrument flight training is conducted in a Cirrus SR22T aircraft, equipped with Auto-Pilot and Flight Director.
