The Instrument Rating
The aim of the course is to train the student to safely and effectively command an aeroplane (single or multi-engine) under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) with an approach to land down to a minimum decision height of 200ft (60m).

The course for a multi-engine IR(A) entails 55 hours of instruction in instrument flying which is divided into 40 hours in the Flight and Navigation Procedure Trainer (FNPTII) and 15 hours in our Seneca II aircraft.

Students holding a CPL(A) issued in accordance with ICAO may have the training course reduced by 5 hours, which must be taken off the time on the FNPTII. Students holding an IR(H) may have the training course reduced to 10 hours as a minimum.

Applicants with a valid Instrument Rating will require a minimum of 15 hours dual flight instruction under Visual Flight Rules.

Applicants without a Night Rating will have the option of completing the required training at the same time as the Modular CPL(A) course, with an additional 5 hours night flight.

The Multi-Engine Class Rating
The aim of the course is to train the student to the level of knowledge and skill required to safely and effectively command a multi-engine piston aeroplane and to pass the ground examination and the Skill Test for the initial issue of a Multi-engine piston aeroplanes (Land) Class Rating for a UK or JAR Pilot’s Licence.

The ground training requirement is in accordance with JAR-FCL 1.261(a). The course entails a minimum of 7 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction in multi-engine aeroplane operation.

The flight training requirement is in accordance with JAR-FCL 1.261(b). The course entails 6 hours of instruction which shall be flight in a multi-engine aeroplane. This is to include at least 2 hours 30 minutes dual flight training under normal conditions and at least 3 hours 30 minutes of dual flight training in engine failure procedures and asymmetric flight techniques.

The Flight Instructor Course
The aim of the initial course is to train PPL(A) / CPL(A) / ATPL(A) holders to the level of proficiency necessary for the issue of a Flying Instructor (Aeroplanes) Rating for a UK or JAR Pilot’s Licence.
