Instrument Helicopter Add-On

Instrument Helicopter Add-On

Already instrument-rated in fixed-wing but want to bring that precision into the rotorcraft world? Our Instrument Helicopter Add-On program is designed to give you the specialized knowledge and skills you need to safely and confidently fly helicopters in instrument conditions. All you need is your instrument certificate, a current FAA medical (third-class or higher), and the drive to take your helicopter flying to the next level.

In this course, you’ll dive into helicopter-specific instrument procedures, regulations, and airspace requirements, while sharpening your navigation skills with GPS, VOR, and ILS systems. You’ll also learn advanced weather strategies and decision-making tailored for helicopter operations. By the time you finish, you’ll be equipped to handle the clouds, the gauges, and everything in between, because in a helicopter, precision isn’t just important, it’s essential.
