Instrument helicopter training teaches you how to fly in limited visibility conditions, using only and relying solely upon the instruments in your aircraft. An Instrument rating is not a license in and of itself. It may be added to a Private or Commercial license. If you are on the career track, we recommend taking your Instrument helicopter training immediately after you have completed your Private helicopter training. This enables you to apply the hours you build during your Instrument training to the required 150 hours for your Commercial. Most Commercial jobs today require the Instrument helicopter training for safety and Insurance purposes.

The minimum number of flight training hours for Instrument Pilots taking their rating under Part 61 is 40 hours. Part 141 minimum flight training hours for Instrument Pilots is 35 hours. Ground helicopter lessons under Part 141 is a minimum of 30 hours. Be aware that the the minimum flight hours required by the FAA may not be enough. Most schools use these hours to quote prices, so we have done the same so that you may easily compare schools, programs and prices. The actual number of helicopter training flight hours varies by student. On average, students doing their Instrument helicopter training need 40 hours of flight time. We suggest that you budget 40 hours for your Instrument helicopter flight training.

The following numbers are based on the FAA helicopter training minimums and the discounted rates package. We also included the Average flight training cost based on what most students use during their Instrument helicopter training.

We do not require full payment up front for the certificate/rating you choose. You may "pay as you go" if that is your preference. We do, however, offer discounted rates for flight time packages of 25 hours and 50 hours. Pre-payment is required if you wish to purchase a discounted rates package. If you do not use all the hours purchased, a refund will be issued based on flight hours multiplied by full rate.
