The Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) ensures pilots with an Instrument Rating maintain their proficiency in flying solely by reference to instruments. If you haven't flown under instrument conditions for a while, or if you need to meet regulatory requirements, the IPC ensures that you're capable of safely operating in the airspace where instrument flying is required. This check is typically done every 12 months to keep your skills sharp and current.
At Desert Wings Flight School in Mesa, Arizona, we offer tailored instrument proficiency check sessions that meet FAA requirements while focusing on practical skill development. If you're an IPC pilot looking to regain currency or boost your confidence in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions), our Gold Seal-rated instructors will guide you through a comprehensive review of procedures, systems, and in-flight scenarios.
Our IPC program includes a ground session and a flight portion that emphasizes precision, situational awareness, and safety. Whether it's been a few months or several years since your last instrument flight, we'll help you meet the standards with clarity and confidence. Desert Wings is a trusted source for instrument proficiency check Arizona pilots can rely on. Fly with us to stay compliant, competent, and ready for any instrument flying challenge.
