The entire time you were learning to fly, you were told to stay clear of clouds. Take your flying to the next level by learning how to fly safely within them.
Instrument flying is intensive and often physically exhausting as you learn to handle an airplane while interpreting what’s going on by scanning the instruments. You’ll work within the air traffic control system in a whole new way. And you’ll become an expert at instrument approach procedures.
The instrument rating is a rigorous exercise, requiring many hours of dual instruction, a knowledge test, and a checkride. But it will offer far more utility than any other rating or certificate you’re likely to pursue. The first time you use the rating to safely navigate instrument meteorological conditions, you’ll be glad you put in the effort.
