Private pilot (ppl-A)
The Private Pilot Certificate is the entry level pilot license from the FAA. This license is for individuals who plan to fly for their personal business and/or pleasure, but not engage in work for compensation or hire.

instrument rating (IR-A)
The Instrument Rating is designed to meet the challenges of flying in inclement weather. It is required by the FAA for flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Generally this is the next step for individuals looking to pursue advanced training after obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate. Students will train to Airman Certification Standards while obtaining real-world experience flying in adverse weather (when conditions permit). Our rental aircraft are equipped with GPS equipment approved for IFR operations, so students will be able to practice utilizing state-of-the-art navigation and procedures.
