Single Pilot Multi Engine Instrument Rating

Course Description
The Single Pilot Multi Engine Instrument Rating course comprises extensive Ground School package complemented by an instrument flying course in an FNPT II AS350/355 FLIGHT Simulator and an IFR AS355.

Course Detail

Ground School lessons are immediately followed by flying the subject matter in the simulator. This technique progressively builds the student's knowledge and skill base, enabling them to achieve the complex procedures required to gain a Single Pilot Instrument Rating.

Subjects studied in the Ground School include:

• ILS Procedures

• ADF/NDB theory and procedures

• Holding Patterns

• Hold joining procedures

• UK CAA IFR regulations

• Wind / Time / Drift calculations

• UK IFR R/T procedures

• UK Airspace Classifications

• ATC Procedures

The flying element consists of a minimum 40 hours tuition in an AS350/355 FNPT II flight simulator and 10 hours instrument flying in an IFR AS355.

Course Duration
The course is undertaken over a 7 week period, including a separate Type Rating (see separate Course Information) if required, but students must be prepared for additional training and extra time on the course to accommodate weather or other operational delays.
