History

Harv’s Air has been conducting IFR training since 1973, we understand what today’s instrument pilot needs are. The key to maximizing the value of your training dollar is to be prepared before turning a propeller. To help you prepare we have a program of system simulators, computer-based training tutorials, online ground school, and computer based flight training devices before you start to fly.

An Instrument Rating makes the difference between a seasoned expert pilot and a talented amateur. With your Instrument Rating, you will no longer be at the mercy of the weather systems. Even with the simplest of Instrument equipped IFR capable aircraft you will have a greater than 90% certainty of departing on time for any trip. Both Private Pilots and Commercial Pilots can add an instrument rating to their list of accomplishments.
