| For the pilot wanting to pursue a professional career in aviation, an instrument rating is a must. With increasing industry standards, the instrument rated pilot is open to many more opportunities in a wide variety of jobs. Many companies in the corporate, offshore and EMS fields require an instrument rating. Learning to fly on instruments is a skill that will not only improve your overall flying ability, but will allow you to be even safer in adverse weather. At Helicopter Services, Inc. your instrument training will be conducted in the R44 RII and the "Fly It" Simulator. |
