Training to be a private pilot is a fun and challenging adventure. Whether you are training to be a commercial Pilot, or to enjoy aviation as a hobby, this is where to start. You will learn how to fly starting from basic maneuvers, and progress at a pace that is comfortable for you until we reach the goals of solo flight and then your license. Once you have the license you can take your friends and family for sightseeing and/or cross-country flight

INSTRUMENT RATING

Training Requirements

• 50 Hours  of cross country flight time as pilot in command, of which 10 hours must have been in an airplane; and

• 40 Hours of actual or simulated instrument time, of which 

• 15 hours must have been received from an authorized instructor (CFII) who holds an instrument-airplane rating, and the instrument time includes:

• 3 Hours  of instrument flight training from an authorized instructor in an airplane that is appropriate to the instrument-airplane rating within 2 calendar months before the date of the practical test; and
Instrument flight training on cross country flight procedures, including one cross country flight in an airplane with an authorized instructor (CFII), that is performed under instrument flight rules, when a flight plan has been filed with an air traffic control facility, and that involves:

• A flight of 250 nautical miles along airways or by directed routing from an air traffic control facility;

• An instrument approach at each airport; and

• Three different kinds of approaches with the use of navigation systems.

Instrument flying opens up a whole new world to your flying adventures!  You will hone your flying skills and become a much more competent pilot.  Plus it will open the door to flying on all those fogged in mornings and getting into places that non-instrument pilots aren’t able!
