You will acquire and apply the three IR theory subjects; Air Law, Navigation, Instruments and Navigation Aids and gain practical flight experience and flight test for IR including a minimum of 40 hours of flight time covering the CAANZ IR syllabus.

If you only hold a PPL then you will also need to complete both the CPL Meteorology and CPL Human Factors examinations, if you intend to progress to a CPL. Alternatively, if you wish to exercise the privileges of the IR on the PPL only, you will also need to complete the IR Operational Knowledge theory examination. Students must achieve a mark of 70% or better to pass each external Aspeq theory examination.

A night rating is also required for the issue of an instrument rating to the level of licence held. For a CPL, 10 hours of night is required to gain the night rating.

Our course consists of 50 hours total time including 20 hours of Cessna 172 flight time, 10 hours of IF simulator ground time and 20 hours of Multi Engine flight time including the Instrument Rating flight test. During your flight training component, you will complete the requirements for the issue of a CPL Night Rating and Multi Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR) including VOR & GPS endorsements on an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS). An ILS endorsement is also available as an additional option.
