Instrument Rating
About The Course
Northwest Arkansas doesn't always give you blue skies — and that's exactly why our Instrument Rating course, based at our Springdale, Arkansas flight school, exists. You'll learn to fly by reference to instruments alone under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), the skillset that keeps Visual Flight Rules (VFR) pilots grounded on hazy or overcast days moving forward instead. Train locally, fly through it.
