Most airline companies operate aircraft in operations that require the Instrument Rating. This rating enables pilots to fly aircraft in poor weather conditions where instrument reference is required. GFT offers a Recurrent Instrument Training Program for those pilots that require renewal or have let their instrument rating lapse. A Professional Training Program is available for initial candidates, as well as an accelerated program designed for a quicker pace. This Rating is also part of the ICPL. The most common type of instrument rating acquired is a Group 1 Instrument Rating, which simply means the flight test is conducted on a multi-engine aircraft and the candidate can fly a multi-engine aircraft. The graduate can then fly a multi-engine aircraft in instrument conditions. There are three different Instrument Training Programs in addition to the ICPL, designed to meet the specific needs of each candidate. Each course utilizes the Cessna 172, PA44-180 Piper Seminole, and our PFC MFD Full Cockpit Flight Simulator. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school. Applicants must be at least 17 years old and pass an aviation medical, as well as hold a private pilot license. |
