Is an instrument rating a difficult license to obtain?
Yes. An instrument rating is well worth the investment it takes to obtain it, however, it is definitely going to cost you time and money. Being a safe and properly trained instrument pilot involves a substantial amount of work when it comes to reading and studying the materials on the related topics. There is another written knowledge test, just like when you were working on your private license. The amount of material that is new in your learning process is comparable to the amount of material you learned while working on your private pilot license. An instrument rating is by no means easy, but it is an incredibly rewarding accomplishment that opens up your flying to truly amazing possibilities.
