RATINGS & ENDORSEMENTS
NIGHT RATING
Typically, a private pilot will get a night rating for safety reasons in case of a late landing. This rating allows a Private Pilot to fly after dark. Without it, you will be restricted to flight during daylight hours only. The night rating adds flexibility and utility to the Private Licence. It cannot be applied to the Recreational Pilot Permit.
VFR OVER-THE-TOP
The VFR-Over-the-Top Rating allows Private and Commercial Licence holders to fly on top of cloud layers, in weather that is otherwise good. This allows you to reach some destinations that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to get to.
INSTRUMENT RATING (IFR)
With your Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) rating, comes the advanced knowledge of avionics and your airplane’s instruments needed to navigate through and above clouds without visual reference to the ground. This course uses both the flight simulator as well as actual flight time to cover IFR procedures, meteorology, instruments, radio and radar systems, and navigation.
MULTI-ENGINE RATING
The Multi-Engine Rating allows the holder of this licence to fly non-high-performance multi-engine aeroplanes as endorsed on their licence. The ability to fly a multi-engine aircraft widens the realm and flexibility for the private pilot in terms of the number of aircrafts one can choose to fly. It is also one of the ratings pilots pursuing a career in aviation complete early on in their training.
