INSTRUMENT RATING

After receiving your PPL most people take a break from the training and enjoy flying with family and friends or even just by themselves, building hours that can be used to get further ratings or licenses. The most common rating that pilots go for after their PPL is the Instrument rating. This enables you to fly in the clouds and trains you how to land when the weather is less than ideal. It’s a great confidence builder and can come in quite handy, especially when flying out to the west coast, where morning fog can ground VFR pilots.
Again the steps to getting this rating attached to your PPL is straightforward. You will need to take a knowledge exam and after completing your flight training your DPE will give you another check ride.
