The Instrument Rating (IR) is an advanced certification that allows pilots to fly in a wider range of weather conditions, including clouds and low visibility, by relying on instruments rather than visual references. This rating adds critical skills to your flying abilities, making you proficient in navigating through adverse weather and enhancing your safety. The IR is a prerequisite for more advanced ratings and is essential for those looking to pursue careers in commercial aviation.
