    Instrument Rating (IR) is a qualification that allows pilots to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), meaning they can operate aircraft in low visibility, bad weather, and without visual references.

    IR is mandatory for commercial pilots and is included in CPL training. It ensures pilots can handle adverse conditions and navigate using flight instruments alone.
