BECOME AN INSTRUMENT RATED PILOT
The Instrument rating is a great option for anyone looking to become a safer pilot, have more flexibility when flying, or anyone interested in entering a career in aviation. An instrument rating allows you to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) which includes Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and Class Alpha airspace.
CHI offers this training using our Redbird FMX, Van's RV-12iS and Cessna 172's. A combination of the simulator and aircraft will enhance your learning while reducing the overall cost. Upon obtaining your rating, our FMX will allow you to maintain both instrument currency and proficiency.
