The Instrument Rating (IR) is the next critical step in your pilot training, preparing you to confidently navigate through diverse weather conditions from our base at Immokalee Regional Airport. With your Private Pilot License (PPL) in hand, the IR enables you to master flying in low visibility and other challenging scenarios using solely your aircraft’s instruments. This qualification is essential for anyone aiming for a commercial aviation career or looking to significantly enhance their piloting skills.
Our IFR package covers all the essential components of your training:
Invest in Your Future with Flexible Payment Options
These payment plans make it easier for you to pursue your dream without the need for large upfront costs. However, please note that all payments are non-refundable and training duration will go in line with payment schedule meaning you cannot finish training without all monthly payments being made.
Flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is great, but the weather isn’t always perfect. With an Instrument Rating (IR), you’ll be able to fly in clouds, fog, rain, and other conditions that require instrument-only flying. The IR is also essential for pilots pursuing a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and airline careers, as it greatly enhances your capability and versatility as a pilot.
If you’ve already completed your Private Pilot License (PPL) with Pilot Path, moving on to the Instrument Rating is a natural next step. Our modular system ensures a smooth transition from one stage to the next, with continuous support from our team. With each module, you’re building toward your end goal of becoming a fully certified Commercial Pilot.
Here’s how Pilot Path supports your progression:
At Pilot Path, we’re not just here to offer training modules—we’re here to guide you through the entire journey, from your first flight lesson to your final check ride. With our modular system, you’ll never feel like you’re flying solo when it comes to planning your training.

I recently completed my Private Pilot License (PPL) training in Florida with Pilot Path and Global Flight Training Solutions (GFTS), and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Traveling from Ireland, I was initially nervous about such a big step, but from start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and incredibly rewarding. The team at Pilot Path made the entire process stress-free, from helping with the visa arrangements to organizing accommodation near the Immokalee Regional Airport. The accommodation was comfortable, well-maintained, and close to all the training facilities, which made settling in so much easier.
GFTS exceeded my expectations as a training provider. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in my progress. The modern facilities, aircraft, and structured curriculum made every step of the journey enjoyable and productive. Pilot Path’s guidance and support throughout my training were invaluable. They ensured I had everything I needed to succeed, from pre-departure checklists to ongoing communication during my stay. Their commitment to student success truly sets them apart.
If you’re considering a career in aviation, I can’t recommend Pilot Path and GFTS enough. The combination of excellent training, a supportive environment, and Florida’s flying conditions makes this the ideal place to fast track your training. Thank you to the entire team for such a fantastic experience—I’ll always look back on this journey with gratitude!
Great experience with pilot path. I did the Fast track PPL in Florida and they made the whole process very simple. I was able to complete my PPL in 5 weeks having basically no previous flying experience .
