NIGHT RATING

The Night Rating is an option that can be added on to the The Private Pilot Licence and allows you to fly at night.  The Commercial Pilot Licence includes the Night Rating as part of the standard training program.

INSTRUMENT RATING (IFR)

The Instrument Rating allows pilots to fly in lower visibility conditions and through cloud when operated in accordance with an IFR flight plan. A Private or Commercial Licence is required for this rating.

The Ottawa Flying Club offers training for single-engine instrument ratings. Instrument training at Ottawa International airport offers a busy IFR environment to learn the skills to operate in any airspace. With precision and non-precision approaches available, you don’t have to go far to find what you need.
