Earning an instrument rating is a fun and rewarding experience that can make your pilot's license much more powerful. But instrument flying is also unforgiving, and requires more than just passing an FAA test. That's why Sporty's university-level Complete Instrument Rating Course goes far beyond test prep. We go outside the textbook to unlock the secrets of the IFR system, so you can be a safe, smooth and proficient pilot. Detailed video segments cover both glass cockpits and analog gauges.
