proficient in the use of NDB's VOR's and carrying out Radar
and ILS approaches
Course Objectives:
To train the Pilot to the level of knowledge and skill needed
to pass the ground and flight tests required for the initial

As a PPL with an IMC rating you must at all times have a minimum
flight visibility below cloud of 1 NM for take off and landing
in order to operate within the privileges of the rating.
