IMC Rating Pilot Training
The Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) rating will enable you
to fly an aeroplane in UK airspace in poor weather with sole reference
to the aeroplane's instruments.
IMC training is an
invaluable skill as it opens up far more opportunities, allowing the
pilot to fly in a wider range of weather conditions. Ideal for the UK.
Night Rating Training
A night rating is a very useful addition to the PPL which allows the
pilot to fly after sunset and before sunrise. Night flying can be a
fantastic experience and will, of course, increase your skills as a
pilot.
Training requirement is 5 hours, including a
navigation exercise out of the control zone. We night-fly right
through the autumn and winter.
