What is the difference between a Private Pilot License and an Instrument Rating? Can you take one without the other? This is surprisingly, or maybe not so surprising, a question that we commonly get asked.
We would first like to say that Private Pilot License and Instrument Rating is nothing alike and cannot be compared to one another. Yes, they do work hand-in-hand with one another, but they are not the same thing and they cannot, rephrase, must not be compared to one another. Why is that, you may ask? Well, sit back, relax, and enjoy!
What is a Private Pilot License?
The 14DAYPILOT Flight Academy FAA VIP 14 Day Private Pilot Program consists of 6 hours of training per day, split between flight trainings and classroom time. Each lesson is thoroughly explained to help you fully understand each steps as we are not training you to just pass the Airmen Certification Standard (ACS) requirements, but also to become a proficient and capable private pilot.
This program is perfect for busy professionals that have dreams of becoming a pilot but can’t fit a 5-month program into their schedule as our program is followed by a string of flexibility. Whether you are a doctor, a businessman, an accountant, or even a high school student, whatever the profession we will be able to accommodate our time according to your schedule and to your utmost comfort.
As this is a VIP private class, you will be flying for up to 5-6 hours daily to rake up those required hours and build up your skills on your designated aircraft and senior instructor that will be assigned to each student. Why do we do this, you may ask?
By assigning an aircraft and a senior instructor that is dedicated just for you, it will most definitely increase the efficiency of your training with us as you will not be required to share an aircraft with other students and wait for your turn to train. If you were to wait, it would take months before you finish your training, which is what you will find in traditional flight academies.
With 14DAYPILOT Flight Academy, you will be saving your time and you won’t be forgetting most of your new-found knowledge so quickly due to the little to no time gap between trainings. This would help you become a better and a more successful pilot.
Moreover, the flight time is flexible, therefore, you can fit your training time well into your schedule. Prior to the training, each candidate will be interviewed in order to customize the course syllabus according to the candidate’s needs.
What is Instrument Rating?
14DAYPILOT Flight Academy’s 10 day accelerated Instrument Rating program trains student pilots on how to use instruments that can be found in the aircraft and how to maximise your skills with it. Instrument Rating allows pilots to have the freedom to fly whenever, including night time and reduced vision scenarios such as mildly bad weather conditions.
Pilots that only know Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions are unable to fly during such times as they depend solely on their visuals but, without anything in the horizon, VFR pilots won’t know where they are going. If a VFR pilot has no choice or accidentally goes into a cloud, they depend solely on Air Traffic Controllers who also depends on their sight in these cases. With Instrument Rating, you will be able to land safely and proficiently during bad weather scenarios and fly safely when you are in clouds.
During your time with us for the Instrument Rating program, you will also be assigned to your own designated aircraft and instructor that you will be flying with for up to 6 hours every single day. You will also be able to customise your own syllabus and course accordingly just as you will be given the option for that in your 14DAYPILOT Flight Academy’s Private Pilot License program.
Private Pilot License vs Instrument Rating
So, what is the difference between Private Pilot License and Instrument Rating? Well, first of all, Private Pilot License teaches you all the basics for VFR but not Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) which requires Instrument Rating.
Can we do one without the other? This is where the second point lies. Without the Private Pilot License, you cannot achieve your Instrument Rating. The Private Pilot License acts as a stepping stool towards all other licenses. Without your Private Pilot License, you cannot get your Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot License, or your Multi-Engine Rating.
In conclusion, the Private Pilot License and Instrument Rating shouldn’t be compared to one another, they should be put together, hand-in-hand, to fulfil your dreams of becoming a pilot. In fact, 14DAYPILOT Flight Academy has got all that you need, why don’t you join us?
