Helicopter Instrument Rating

At Precision Flight Training, we offer you three different approaches to getting your instrument rating. 

For the student who wants to maximize helicopter flight time as a part of their training, we offer a All Helicopter Flight Time Instrument Program.

To save money, you can split your flight training between airplanes and helicopter with our Airplane and Helicopter Instrument Program. The FAA allows you to do all but 15 hours of your training in an airplane. This will reduce your costs by as much as 23%.

We also offer an instrument add-on program for students who already have a instrument airplane rating.
