Instrument Rating - "Cleared for Approach"

Atlas Aviation offers an instrument rating course.  The instrument rating is the next level of training after learning to fly.  Instrument pilots learn to control the aircraft solely by reference to the aircraft's instruments, enabling the ability to fly in more marginal weather conditions.

Ground Training
 

Your ground training is accomplished utilizing the Cessna CBI program, and can be combined with our classroom Ground School.  We have new classes starting often - just call (813) 251-1752 to schedule your seat.  We have a great classroom facility right on site for your convenience.

You'll learn about aircraft control methods, flight instrument mechanics, airports and approaches, plus much more.

 
Flight Training
 

Flight training is completed in any of our instrument training fleet, including our Cessna Skyhawks and Piper Archer.  Our aircraft have a variety of equipment, but all have color, IFR-certified GPS units and several have advanced avionics such as the "glass cockpit" G-1000 suite.  You'll practice controlling the aircraft by instrument reference, navigating enroute using navigation aids, and perform practice approaches.
 
Prerequisites:
 
To start instrument training you need:
  • Private Pilot Certificate
  • At least a third class medical.
