As with our other flight training lessons, our Instrument Rating Program uses a defined flight and ground training syllabus. We also use the latest version of ASA's PCATD IFR Simulator. Flying a simulator in instrument conditions is extremely valuable during instrument training. It allows the instructor to stop the flight and assist the student with IFR Procedures. This stops the development of negative habits and is something that can not be performed in the air. 10 Hours of flight time can be logged in our PCATD for your Instrument Rating which also saves money of aircraft rental fees.

Like the Private Pilot Program, our Instrument Rating Program uses the Cessna Integrate Flight Training system. The Cessna "Cleared for Approach" flight training syllabus is designed around the Cessna 172 flight training aircraft, because this flight training syllabus is designed around the actual aircraft we operate, what the student pilot watches in the Computer-Based training, and reads is the Instrument training text applies directly and accurately to the actual aircraft our students fly. This training program also eliminates the need for a formal ground school. If you would like to know more about this flight training syllabus or would like to schedule a demonstration please contact our flight school at (217) 885-3353.
