​
Instrument Rating Restricted (IRR)
General
The IRR or previously IMC rating is designed as a qualification to "get you out of trouble" rather than a replacement for the full instrument rating, however it is an extremely valuable qualification to gain. Not only that, it's great fun! Flying with precision in cloud and using the instruments to line up with the runway is a fantastic experience. You'll never forget the first time you 'pop' out of the bottom of cloud and the runway is dead ahead!
