The Instrument Rating is essential for any pilot aiming for a successful aviation career or those wanting to fly confidently through all types of weather.
At Flight Standards, we deliver comprehensive training for the Instrument Rating, covering every approach type and navigational aid used in General Aviation. Our expert instructors actively fly IFR Air Transport Operations, ensuring that you receive training aligned with CASA syllabus requirements and grounded in real-world experience. You’ll gain the skills necessary to tackle the challenges of IFR flying, such as managing unpredictable weather and optimising your operations for commercial efficiency.
Your training journey begins in the briefing room and on our synthetic trainer (simulator), approved for all approach types. This immersive experience allows you to grasp essential procedures before taking to the skies. A solid understanding of these procedures, combined with strong instrument flying skills, is key to succeeding in IFR operations. Don’t just train to pass the flight test—train to handle any IFR task with confidence. You’ll learn the skills necessary to complete an IFR task or to find a suitable and safe workaround when needed.
We’re proud that many of our students have completed their initial Instrument Rating and transitioned straight into commercial IFR operations with our own or other companies.
Don’t let weather limit your flying potential. With our training, you’ll not only earn your Instrument Rating but also elevate your skills to new heights. Join Flight Standards today and take your aviation career to the next level!
