Instrument
Rating and Advanced Certificates
Getting
your instrument rating is one of the best things you can
do to improve your skill as a pilot. Having your rating
often allows you to complete a flight that otherwise
would be delayed or cancelled due to weather. The
statistics show that getting your instrument rating makes
you a much safer pilot.
Students training with us are encouraged to complete an instrument ground school. Flying with us gives you access to our video and magazine library, and your instrument training can be facilitated through the use of our
or our
full
flight deck flight simulator
We have a Cessna 150, four Cessna 172s, a
retractable-gear Cessna R182, a twin engine Beech
Travelair and a Pitts S-2B
biplane that can be used for your
instrument rating or advanced certificates.
Bode
Aviation hosts a LaserGrade Testing facility for any
of your FAA written exams.
Each
student's progress is monitored by their instructor as
well as the Chief Flight Instructor to ensure efficient
and cost-effective raining. Phase evaluations are given
by the Chief Flight Instructor before solo and the FAA
checkride.
