An instrument rating is one of the most valuable steps a pilot can take. It teaches you to fly by instruments alone, giving you more precision, confidence, and flexibility when the weather is less than perfect. Here is what it is and why every pilot should get one...

Read the articleBravo 6 Flight Academy is East Idaho's premier flight school, training students from their very first discovery flight all the way to a professional commercial pilot career. We're headquartered in Rexburg, Idaho at the Rexburg-Madison County Airport (KRXE), and we operate a second flight school in Pocatello. We were founded on a simple idea: the best, most experienced pilots make the best teachers, and East Idaho deserves a flight school that reflects that.
Our home base is Rexburg (KRXE), and we also provide flight training in Pocatello. That footprint means students throughout East Idaho can train close to home while still flying with the same instructors, aircraft, and curriculum.
You can earn every certificate and rating you need to go from zero experience to a paid flying career: Private Pilot License (PPL), Instrument Rating (IR), Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Complex Endorsement, and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument (CFII). In the near future (late 2026-2027), we intend to purchase a twin engine plane and offer a Multi-Engine Rating (MER). We do not currently offer helicopter (rotary) training.
No experience required. Most of our students have never touched the controls of an airplane before their first lesson. Our job is to take you from that first flight to a safe, confident, certificated pilot, one step at a time.
Bravo 6 currently trains under FAA Part 61, and we are in the process of earning our Part 141 certificate. Both paths lead to the same FAA certificates and the same checkrides; Part 61 simply offers more scheduling flexibility, which works well for our students who train around work and school. If choosing between Part 61 and Part 141 matters to you, give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
Private students typically start in our Cessna 172 Skyhawks, the most popular training aircraft in the world. Instrument and commercial students continue their training in Skyhawks with advanced avionics, in our Mooney M20C and Vulcanair V1. We also use a Redbird FMX 1000 full-motion flight simulator, and our Mooney M20C doubles as a complex trainer for the complex endorsement. An in-house maintenance team keeps the entire fleet in peak condition.
Becoming a pilot with Bravo 6 is as easy as 1-2-3: take a discovery flight, pick your Certified Flight Instructor, and start your training. A discovery flight is a short introductory lesson where you sit in the pilot's seat and actually fly the airplane with a CFI beside you. It's the best, lowest-pressure way to find out if flying is for you. Call us at (208) 996-8645 or fill out the contact form to book.
It depends on your goal and how often you fly. Students who train three to five times a week typically earn a Private Pilot License in about two to four months, and a Commercial Pilot License in roughly nine to twelve months. On cost, our Private Pilot License starts at $10,000, the Instrument Rating starts at $12,000, and the Commercial Pilot License starts at $35,000. Costs may vary and are often dependent on how quickly students pick up flying, how consistent they schedule lessons, and how diligent they are with their studies. We offer financing through Stratus Financial and can point you toward aviation scholarships to make it more affordable.
