Episode 441: Commercial Rating Confusion: The 5-Hour Instrument Time Requirement

We’ve seen 30 check-rides in 30 months, and every one revealed lessons worth sharing. That’s why we keep spots limited — one or two students at a time, with instructors dedicated to getting you finished up the right way. 👉 If you’re stuck waiting on a check-ride, or you’re not sure if your logbook is ready, call Heather at (574) 767-1797 or visit FinalApproachCourse.com .

Takeaway 5 hours of instrument training is required for your Commercial rating — but logging it wrong could fail you before the blades even turn. Keep your logbook clean, consistent, and examiner-ready. That’s what separates the pilots who finish strong from the ones who walk away frustrated.
