WHAT IS INSTRUMENT RATING IR(H)?
Flying by sole reference to the instruments is a skill that is acquired through the instrument rating program. Its purpose is to prepare you for flight in reduced visibility or poor weather.
It is important to get this training in-between your private and commercial pilot training. An instrument rating also makes you a more proficient and safe pilot by helping you become more knowledgeable with aviation in general.
The skill of being experienced with on-board flight instruments is so unique that it is commonly becoming a requirement for most commercial flight jobs.
