Instrument Rating
Master All-Weather Flying with AAA’s IR Course
The Instrument Rating (IR) Course at All Asia Aviation Academy is designed to equip licensed pilots with the skills to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), allowing safe and confident operation in low visibility and challenging weather conditions — a critical step toward airline employment.
Our training combines actual flight hours in Garmin G1000-equipped aircraft with advanced simulator sessions on the Redbird MCX, a CAAP-approved full-motion flight simulator. This blended approach ensures you develop the precision and confidence required for IFR operations.
Trainees will also gain experience navigating real-world airspace through cross-country flights across the Philippines — from Laoag in the north to San Jose, Mindoro in the south. These missions simulate diverse weather patterns, airspace environments, and ATC communication protocols, delivering one of the country’s most comprehensive IFR training experiences.
For pilots seeking further challenge, optional Actual Night Flight Training is also available — allowing you to build confidence flying in complete darkness under real-world IFR conditions.
