That being said, in both Canada and Europe, an instrument rating is required by law in order to fly at night. With an instrument rating, a professional private <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/flight-school-courses\/private-pilot\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Private Pilot Certification\">pilot<\/a> is no longer limited to flying only by visual references. He can now enter the clouds for the first time, flying solely by the instruments within the cockpit. Having an instrument rating will give you peace of mind during low visibility and low ceiling situations.<\/p>\n<p>All students are trained vigorously on instrument flying in our flight simulator as well as in a physical aircraft. Navigation in both a simulator or actual aircraft requires great focus on each and every instrument, therefore allowing the student to perfect his instrument flying skills without the use of visual references. During <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/flight-school-courses\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"Flight School Courses\">training<\/a> the student will be trained to fly on instruments during climbs, descents, straight and level flight, standard rate turns, steep turns, holding patterns, precision and non-precision approaches, normal procedures, abnormal procedures, and emergency procedures. Additional topics covered in this course are ATC\u00a0communications, navigation from one airport to another,\u00a0pre-flight planning, fuel planning, instrument testing prior to takeoff, weather evaluation, and Cockpit Resource Management.\u00a0CRM\u00a0is the utilization of all available resources that include\u00a0situational\u00a0awareness, optimal\u00a0decision making, communication, stress, and a discussion of various scenarios that an instrument pilot may encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Student pilots undergoing instrument <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/flight-school-courses\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"Flight School Courses\">training<\/a> will always be trained by a certified instrument pilot and be evaluated by their instructor on each and every flight. All trainees will need to meet the minimum FAA requirements and obtain whatever additional time is necessary to ensure they are comfortable with instrument flying and can conduct a safe operation. The instructor pilot will make the final decision in determining if and when the student can be or will be scheduled for his written examination or flight test.\u00a0We\u00a0believe there is absolutely no sense is rushing a student through instrument training since each person learns at their own pace.\u00a0Once licensed, the student, now pilot, will be categorized as a professional private pilot with an instrument rating. It is now up to you to maintain your proficiency by continuing to practice what you have learned.<\/p>\n<h4>Financing Available<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"woocommerce \"><div class=\"wf-container dt-products  woo-hover products loading-effect-fade-in description-on-hover wc-single-shortcode cart-btn-on-img wc-img-hover hide-description wc-grid\" data-padding=\"0px\" data-cur-page=\"1\" data-desktop-columns-num=\"3\" data-v-tablet-columns-num=\"2\" data-h-tablet-columns-num=\"3\" data-phone-columns-num=\"1\">\n\n<article class=\"post visible description-off product type-product post-71284 status-publish first instock product_cat-store product_cat-uncategorized has-post-thumbnail shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-simple\">\n\n\t<figure class=\"woocom-project\">\n\t<div class=\"woo-buttons-on-img\">\n\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/product\/instrument-rating-course\/\" class=\"alignnone layzr-bg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0 300 300&#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail lazy-load preload-me\" alt=\"Instrument Rating Course\" data-src=\"https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Instrument-Rating-Course-300x300.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Instrument-Rating-Course-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Instrument-Rating-Course-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Instrument-Rating-Course-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fly.binacole.com\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Instrument-Rating-Course.jpg 500w\" \/><\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<figcaption class=\"woocom-list-content\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\">\n\t<p>Includes 50 hours Dual, 2 hours Solo, 40 hours Ground<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<span class=\"price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&#36;<\/span>17,810<\/bdi><\/span><\/span>\n\n\t<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/article>\n\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Reinforce safety by becoming an Instrument Pilot.
