Stanford Flying Club offers an instrument rating course.  The Instrument Rating is the next level of training after achieving your Private Pilot Certificate.  Instrument pilots learn to control the aircraft solely by reference to the aircraft's instruments.  With an Instrument Rating you will be able to fly in more marginal weather conditions. After completing this course, you will be able to take off in "zero visibility" and fly through clouds.

A Private Pilot Certificate, 50 hours of cross-country flight time experience as 'Pilot In Command', and a total of 40 hours of specialized flight training are required to obtain the Instrument Rating. All prior solo cross-country flight time may be counted towards this rating.

We also offer competency checks and proficiency reviews for those members who already have an Instrument Rating.
