What Is Instrument Rating?

An instrument rating, known as IR, is a pilot rating earned through consistent, extensive training focused on flying solely via reference to instruments. It’s an incredibly valuable rating to add to your pilot certification, while being a fun, challenging discipline for flight training. A pilot certified in flight instrument training can fly an airplane from starting to finishing points with only looking out the window for takeoff and landing.
