Instrument Rating Course
A pilot is incomplete without Instrument Rating (IR) endorsed on his/her Pilot License. The Instrument Training enables a pilot to fly in conditions where outside visual references are not available. Thus, even when the visibility is bad in winters or when one enters clouds inadvertently, the pilot is still able to execute a safe flight if he/she is thoroughly trained to fly with reference to the aircraft instruments.
