WHAT AIRPLANES WILL I BE ABLE TO FLY?
As an instrument rated pilot you will be able to fly instrument equipped airplanes in almost all weather conditions. You will be able to fly in the clouds and in the areas of low visibility. During the instrument training you will learn and practice how to fly along your planned route using only the aircraft instruments as well as landings at various airports utilizing instrument approach procedures.
As an instrument pilot, you will still have a few limitations
on your flights. There will be times when the weather conditions will be so bad
that even with well equipped airplane and your instrument rating you will not be
able to takeoff or land - e.g. during times of zero visibility or during storms.
