Instrument Rating
An Instrument Rating (IR) refers to the qualifications that a pilot must have in order to fly under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules). The most significant value of flying under IFR is the ability to fly into instrument meteorological conditions (such as inside the clouds) and operate in Class A airspace. The requirement to obtain this license is determined by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
