IFR instrument rating information in general:

The instrument rating adds significantly to the value of a Pilot Certificate by removing "bad weather" limitaions. Holders of the Rating are permitted to fly in virtually any weather conditions, limited only by their own judgement and the equipment installed in their aircraft.

Flight Experience: An applicant for an Instrument rating must have a minimum of 40 hours of "instrument" time and 50 hours of pilot-in-command cross-country time. 20 hours of the instrument time can be accomplished in an approved Ground Trainer (simulator).

Aircraft: The Instrument course is taught in nearly new Cessna 172SP aircraft with the G1000 glass cockpit and in Flight Simulators. Simulators (both FAA approved and PC based) are used extensively to speed training and reduce expense.

Van Nuys Airport: For the student working on the instrument rating, the Los Angeles area is an ideal training field. There are several airports within a 30 mile radius offering multiple IFR approaches, so the variety of training situations is exceptional. Students receive invaluable practice in a demanding ATC environment and graduate prepared to fly comfortably in any IFR airspace.
