Getting that instrument rating is worth it
- Checkride
After completing the required flight hours, pilots must pass an instrument rating checkride. The checkride involves a practical flight exam with a designated FAA examiner. The examiner will test the pilot’s knowledge, skill, and ability to fly the aircraft with instruments.
Instrument training is a critical part of becoming a proficient pilot. It is a challenging process that requires dedication, practice, and patience. However, it provides pilots with a skill set that is essential for flying in adverse weather conditions and low visibility situations. Pilots who invest the time and effort into instrument training will become more versatile and confident pilots.
