The Instrument Rating course objective is to achieve the learning requisites of ground school and flight instruction, expertise, and experience required in order to obtain the Instrument class rating in a single-engine aircraft type (IR), or a multi-engine aircraft type (IR/ME).
At the end of the course, the student must demonstrate the required level of knowledge to exercise the privileges granted to the holder of an IR(A), such as act as PIC of a single-engine or multi-engine aircraft under IFR in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) down to a Decision Height of 200ft.
The student must be a holder of a PPL(A) or CPL(A) license obtained according to Part-FCL. All ground school must be attended on-site and students must attend a minimum of 75% class sessions of each subject in order to qualify for AESA (Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea) exams.
Flying safely under Instrumental Flight Rules, during bad weather or night operations, is an essential skill that every professional pilot must demonstrate to be able to fly in a highly coordinated system.
Ground training is composed of 150 hours of ground school, and lasts approximately for 12 weeks.
The course structure is composed of the following syllabus and study break down by subject:
Once the ground school is completed and the internal mandatory validation tests of each subject are successfully met, the student will be presented to the official EASA examination tests that will credit the trainee towards the theoretical knowledge required to obtain an IR rating.
The Flight phase starts on the third week of the course and last up to the 12th week, and is broken into 2 stages:
The student aspiring to obtain the IR rating in a single-engine airplane must complete the 50 hrs in one of the following single-engine aircraft types:
The student aspiring to obtain the ME-IR rating in a multi-engine airplane must complete the 50 hrs in one of the following multi-engine aircraft types (or alternatively, if the student already has the ME rating, complete the 50hrs on a single-engine type plus 5 additional hours on a multi-engine type):
The approximate duration of the course is 12 weeks, allowing the student to complete the ground school and flight training simultaneously.
