Instrument Rating -
IR or PIFR
An Instrument Rating (IR) or Private Instrument Rating (PIFR) allows a pilot to fly an aircraft in cloud or reduced visibility. Sydney Flight Training has developed a detailed training program to guide you through this challenging and rewarding qualification.
With the ability to fly in a wider varitey of conditions, flight planning becomes less stressful knowing that you’ll be able to reach your destination, despite that layer of broken cloud at 1,000 feet!
