Top Reasons Why Every Pilot Should Get An
Instrument Rating
2
Get an Instrument Rating

• Obtaining a private pilots license is no small
  achievement. Long hours of study and practice
  eventually allow the licensee to fly the type of
  plane they are trained in. A problem of only
  having a private pilots license without any
  other ratings is that there are limitations
  placed on what the pilot can do.

3
You Can Fly During Less Than Perfect Weather

• With a private pilot license, you can fly when
  the weather and visibility are sufficient. There
  must be enough visibility so that you can see
  while flying from one point to another. An
  instrument rating opens up many more
  opportunities for flight time as it reduces the
  restrictions you will have to fly. You trained to
  be a pilot and fly, and with an instrument
  rating, you will be able to do just that more
  often.

4
It Prepares You for Commercial Licensing

• One of the required ratings you need to obtain
  for a commercial license is to train and pass an
  instrumentation rating. For those who wish to
  have a career flying any commercial pilot
  certificate and aircraft type, having this rating
  is a must. By establishing your instrument rating
  early, you will have more seat time and be ahead
  of the curve, to prepare you for a career in
  flying.

5
Become a Safer Pilot

• Flying visually into adverse meteorological
  conditions is the leading cause of accidents and
  deaths in the aviation industry. Training in
  instrument flight rules will increase your
  chances of surviving poor conditions. With an
  instrument rating on your license, you will be
  able to operate in adverse conditions by flying
  with the planes instruments and not using your
  physical senses only.

6
Pre-Flight Planning Will Be More Efficient

• By not making judgments based only on visual
  cues, you will plan out your flights for any
  surprises that may pop up. Every action has a
  reaction that must be planned for when flying. If
  you are forced to take a flight detour due to
  weather or other reasons, you will need to have a
  plan in place. Your instrumentation training will
  help with this and keep your flight free of any
  unplanned surprises you did not initially plan.

7
Automation Is More Efficient

• As a pilot with an instrument rating, you will be
  able to use a planes automation functions,
  instead of relying on physical decisions and
  responses. By doing so, your flight will be more
  efficient regarding time spent in the air, fuel
  used, and lead to better scheduling. This not
  only saves you money but reduces wear and tear on
  the plane. It also allows for a tighter flight
  plan that makes it easier for airports to keep
  your landings on time.
