Instrument Rating

Develop the ability to fly solely by reference to cockpit instruments when outside visibility is reduced or unavailable. This rating teaches precision approaches, holding patterns, and IFR navigation -- critical skills that every professional pilot relies on daily in real-world airline and commercial operations.

Hawaii's unique microclimates and rapidly changing weather conditions provide exceptional instrument training opportunities. You'll gain real-world experience managing IFR conditions that pilots on the mainland rarely encounter during training.

Our Sling NGT fleet is fully IFR-equipped with modern GPS and glass cockpit avionics, preparing you for the instrument procedures used in airline operations. Every professional pilot relies on these skills daily.
