This rating entitles the pilot to fly when the visibility and ceilings are low and weather conditions are marginal. We use an online based computer program for the ground training portion and a combination of our flight simulator and airplanes for the flight training part. Hours and cost below are based on minimum time required by FAA. Pricing below is based on Part 61 training with the pilot having 40 hours of PIC Cross Country time, rates listed are cash paying rates.
