IR Multi Engine
The Instrument Rating (IR) Multi Engine is an additional authorization to fly a twin or multi-engine aircraft according to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
The training is divided into theory and practice. We as a flight school we do not reduce the theoretical training to the possible minimum of 8 hours but offer you a theoretical training at ATPL level.
Within the framework of the theoretical training you will therefore complete at least 50 hours in the classroom - with the invaluable advantage of being able to ask questions. However we also offer you the opportunity - without additional costs - to take part in the entire ATPL theory classroom to the extent of 150 hours.
This is the only way to ensure that you will be able to fly an aircraft under instrument conditions. Because once visibility is gone, only good training - both theory and practice - can get you safely back on the ground.
Entry requirements for IR Multi Engine
- Minimum age 17 years
- PPL (A) with Night VFR or valid CPL
- 50h cross country flights as PIC, thereof at least 10h on aircraft VFR/IFR radiotelephony certificate
- valid English Language Proficiency min. Level 4
- Aviation Medical Certification Class 1 or 2 - IR checked
- If a CPL (A) license applies, then the total flight time can be reduced by 5 hours
- MEP VFR
Course duration
2-4 months(as an experience value, with planned training course and depending on your time availability). You determine the pace of your training yourself!
Course structure IR Multi Engine
Your training for IR Multi Engine is divided into 2 blocks:
The theoretical training for the IR (A) consists of 150 hours with at least 50 hours in the classroom in our flight school.
We are one of the few flight schools that emphasize in-depth training in the classroom.
The theory course includes the following subjects:
- Air law General
- Aircraft knowledge
- Flight performance and flight planning
- Human performance
- Meteorology
- Navigation incl. PBN
This part of the training covers the practical training for IR ME.
The training to obtain IR (A) for multi-engine aircraft must include at least 55 hours in instrument flight. Of this, up to 40 hours may be completed in FNPT II. The remaining instrument flight training must include at least 15 hours on multi-engine aircraft.
Flight training leading up to the practical examination for obtaining an IR (A) for multi-engine aircraft must include the following:
- Flight preparation for instrument flight rules operations, including use of the flight manual and appropriate air traffic services documents
- Procedures and exercises for instrument flight rules operations under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions to include the following:
- Transition from visual flight to instrument flight at takeoff
- Standard procedures for approaches and departures under instrument flight rules
- IFR enroute procedures
- Holding procedures
- Instrument flights up to the specified minimum
- Missed approach procedures
- Landings after instrument approaches, including circling approaches
- Performance of the above exercises on a multi-engine aircraft, including flying the aircraft solely on instruments with simulated engine failure and engine shutdown and restart.
The holder of an IR(A) for single-engine airplanes who also holds a type or class rating for multi-engine airplanes and who wishes to obtain an IR (A) for multi-engine airplanes for the first time must complete training that includes at least 5 hours in instrument flight on multi-engine airplanes. Of these, three hours may be in an FNPT II.
