Get your instrument rating in a Cirrus. Fly with confidence in the clouds.

Any time you set out on a flight, the weather could change unexpectedly. Being able to control an aircraft by instrument references alone may save your life.

File an instrument flight plan and you will be able to climb up over a layer of clouds into the sunshine.  Even on a clear day, the value of the Air Traffic Control system assuring clear traffic space around you is comfort not a luxury.

Only an instructor with a good deal of real world IFR flying can help you learn how to make sound judgments both before and during the flight.

All of our instructors routinely fly in the weather. We can help you develop your understanding of weather to make flying a more reliable means of transportation while still staying safe.

Wing Ventures CFIIs prepare you for the world of IFR from the start, going above and beyond what the FAA standards state to better prepare you for flying after initial and recurrent training.

You will learn the ins and outs of the Air Traffic Control system based on our close relationship with the excellent controllers in PDX and SEA.

Your next venture should be an instrument rating. Now, the clouds and weather that might have forced you to cancel your plans can be routinely handled with your newfound knowledge and confidence in your abilities.
