Simulated Instrument Flight Rating

A Simulated Instrument Flight Rating is a training certification that allows pilots to operate aircraft using only their instrument navigation skills, without relying on visual cues. It involves practicing flying in a simulated environment, often using flight simulators, to develop proficiency in managing the aircraft in low visibility or challenging weather conditions. This training ensures pilots can navigate safely using instruments alone, preparing them for real-world scenarios where visibility is limited, and enhancing overall flight safety.
