Instrument Rating (IR)

Depending on where you take the instrument rating (IR) it may take about 1 � to 3 months (full time) and you cover everything from rules, procedures, and meteorology. After completing the check ride you are capable of piloting an IR rated airplane into instrument meteorology conditions (IMC), meaning you fly solely by reference to the instruments. Even though it is not required to hold an IR to be a commercial pilot you need it to get a job as literally all commercial flying is done IFR (Instrument Flight Rules).

If doing JAA training you can take the commercial and instrument check ride together and that way get the rating on the commercial pilot license (CPL) right away.
