HELICOPTER INSTRUMENT RATING TRAINING COURSE

Our helicopter instrument rating training course at Helicopter Pro is beneficial for any pilot. The Helicopter instrument rating gives pilots the opportunity to operate IFR equipment helicopters in adverse weather conditions. You do not need an IFR rating to obtain a commercial helicopter license. However, most employers prefer to hire an IFR-qualified pilot.
