the private to fly in weather that would otherwise ground a private pilot flying
under visual flight rules. By learning to fly solely by reference to cockpit
instruments it allows you to fly in clouds and low visibility without ever
having to see the ground. During your instrument training you will learn to fly
instrument approaches, holding patterns as well as acquire a more in depth
knowledge of weather. Along with new maneuvers go new regulations governing
instrument flight rules that must be learned in along with flying.
Where do I get an instrument rating? The
same place you got your initial private license, almost all flight schools, big
or small, can provide the instruction and the properly equipped aircraft for
flight under instrument flight rules. Instrument training and flying is
