Instrument Rating Training at High Flight Academy

What Does Instrument Rating Training Include?

High Flight Academy offers Instrument Rating training under both FAA Part 141 and Part 61 curricula. Part 141 students benefit from a structured, FAA-approved syllabus with reduced minimum flight hours.

Training includes instrument approach procedures, holding patterns, VOR/GPS/ILS navigation, emergency procedures under instrument conditions, and cross-country instrument flight planning. You’ll also log time in our Redbird FMX simulator, which counts toward your instrument hours and reduces cost.

Prerequisites

You must hold at least a Private Pilot Certificate before beginning instrument training. If you’re starting from scratch, our High Gear Accelerated Program includes both your Private Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating in one structured curriculum.
