Instrument Rating
Expand your horizons.
An instrument rating is one of the more difficult training courses because it demands a higher workload and precise aircraft control with references solely by instrumentation. However, it is recommended that every pilot get their instrument rating to become a safer, more experienced pilot while enabling the pilot to utilize the aircraft in more adverse weather conditions. At First Landings Aviation Pilot Center, we will teach you to perfect your skills of instrument flying by flying in actual weather conditions and what factors to consider when making a go/no-go decision. Our instructors have experience in almost all weather conditions and we encourage students to gain that experience with us before attempting it on their own voluntarily or involuntarily. Our aircraft are equipped with both standard instrumentation as well as “glass cockpit” instrumentation that enhances situational awareness. We encourage students to share time in the aircraft while building time to practice Crew Resource Management as well as keep their costs to a minimum.

“I cant say enough about this school. It is well organized, well equipped and professional. My CFI Andrew was an incredible teacher and a great guy as well. I went through their accelerated program and finished in 14 days. They have a full service center on-site. I found that the planes were all maintained really well and if an airplane ever needed attention or something fixed the mechanic Jose was there literally with a minute or two to take care of it.
I have looked at a couple of other schools in the past but they cant even come close to First Landings. If you are serious about getting your PPL, Instrument, or Sport Pilot license and you want a great experience this is where you go. Period.“

Best school ever. Instrument Rating in 6 days. I will finish my check ride on Monday. All of the instructors are the best. I started with Josh and he moved on and then I was with Joey for the remainder of my flight school. Great instructor. Can not leave without mentioning the rest of the crew. Adam, the owner. Andrew A CFI and their computing, video Guru. Dave, the instructor with every rating you can think of. Jose, the aircraft mechanic who keeps all the wheels on the runway. Could not ask for a nicer group of people. Fair, honest, and forgiving. Oh yeah, now they’ve got where you can take your FAA written exam onsite. Thanks guys and thanks Joey for your patience.

I have nothing but good things to say about First Landings Aviation. My instructor, Daniel Connolly, has been able to inculcate the idea that I can be an instrument pilot! He has made me feel very comfortable and confident during my lessons.
When you go there, you will be met by Jose who is an administrator there. He is very professional and thorough in explaining the pilot programs they offer.
The owner, Adam, is very approachable and is always available for consultation. If you want your private pilot, instrument, or sport pilot certificate, then this is the school for you!
Five Stars!!.
