Ever wonder how commercial airlines land in fog? An instrument rating provides a pilot the ability to navigate through clouds and other weather to eventually land safety at an airport using only instruments.
Program Location: This program is offered exclusively at the Moncton and Fredericton, New Brunswick campuses.
Candidates must hold a private pilot license or commercial pilot license to hold this rating.
This rating can be completed as an add on for a private license flying or to a commercial license as well. This rating will allow you to fly planes under instrument conditions while in cloud.
The cost estimates as listed here are for a Group 1 rating. This rating is based on you holding a multi-engine prior to starting this training and a group 1 will allow you to fly in cloud in a multi-engine aircraft.
This training can also be completed as a single-engine rating. The group 3 instrument rating can be completed encompassing the same training time estimates and would reflect our single-engine aircraft rates.
*Subject to 15% HST if you hold a PPL.
*There is no HST on commercial training with MFC Training.
**All prices subject to change without notice; Tuition does not include remedial training, fuel surcharges, pre and post flight briefings or any other fees/charges that are not part of the MFC curriculum.

There are a lot of specialized operations out there flying in fascinating, remote
parts of the world; doing interesting things with air planes. I love what I do for a
living; really... It has been, and still is an incredible adventure! And I certainly
won't ever forget that it all started in Moncton.

From my first step inside dispatch, to my first ground school class through to my
first flight at MFC, something just clicked & I knew that this was world-class
training. The facilities & staff at MFC really were the deciding factor in my
decision to pursue a career as a professional pilot.
Thanks for your interest in training with MFC Training – let's get flying!
