An Instrument Rating empowers you to fly an aircraft safely from one point to another purely with reference to your flight instruments. Unlike in the past, newer aircraft are equipped with Electronic Flight Instrumentation (EFIS) systems such as GARMIN 1000 that provide you with accurate information to enhance your situational awareness in extremely poor visibility conditions.

Much knowledge can be gained when the video tutorials are watched in conjunction with reading the books such as Instrument Procedures Handbook and the Instrument Flying Handbook.

 

Upon passing all the theoretical knowledge exams, flight training comprises of Instrument flying procedures such as SID (Standard Instrument Departure), Holding, interception and tracking of VOR radials, interception and tracking of DME arc, STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route), ILS/VOR/GPS approaches and missed approaches, to mention the important few.
