Private Instrument rating (PIFR)

The PIFR (Private Instrument Rating) is a fantastic rating for private pilots who would like to fly in more conditions than what Visual Flight Rules (VFR) allows for. It authorises the holder to act as a pilot in command of flights under Instrument Flights Rules (IFR) in a single-pilot aircraft with MTOW of 5700kg or less. The Private IFR course is offered for single or multi-engine and utilises practical training in the simulator as well as the actual aircraft. To complete Private IFR you must hold a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or higher (CPL, ATPL).

A basic Private Instrument Rating (PIFR) still restricts the licence holder to VFR when flying under Lowest Safe Altitude (LSALT). There are a range of endorsements that you can add to increase its utility, including IFR approaches and departures to bring the qualification closer to a full Command Instrument Rating if desired.

Pricing is dependant on the qualifications you would like to hold.
