Welcome Aviator!

If you are a certificated pilot and you are ready to advance to an added rating, endorsement, or the next level certificate, you are in the right place!

CertifIcate and Ratings and associated costs

Pilot Instrument Rating

You can start your instrument training at any time, but it is recommended to stay focused on your Private Pilot certificate and Checkride prior to engaging with Instrument training. Already have your Commercial Certificate with an Instrument Rating? We can help you complete your Instrument rating too!

Time Building - Simulated Instrument

$170/hr

This time-building rate reflects block time purchased in 10-hour increments.

You will need to have the minimum hours that meet the aeronautical experience requirements of 14CFR61.65 to apply for an Instrument Rating.

This time building option will only apply to your Instrument Rating if you do not require an instructor, and if you have a Safety Pilot on board so that you can fly "under the hood".

Instrument Training and Check Ride Prep

$3300 - $3600

Assuming no previous training, this requires a minimum of 15 hours depending on your situation and needs.

~Note: Some Clients require more than the minimum, some already have some training and only need check ride prep.
