Course details

An applicant who wishes to commence  training for the Multi Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR) shall hold the following,

  • PPL or CPL licence
  • Class 1 Medical
  • A pass in the appropriate ATPL or CPL theoretical exams

The Course

This is the final stage in the CPL modular course and teaches the student to fly the aircraft with sole reference to instruments (IFR) or in other words with no visual external references (VFR). It is a qualification which entitles the student to fly in the same manner as airline pilots.

The course consists of 55 hours of flight training and a minimum of 20 hours of comprehensive ground school training. An applicant who is already the holder of a Commercial Pilots Licence will have this training reduced by 10 hours making it a 45 hour course.

The training for the 45 hour course is conducted on an FNPT 11 and a Piper Seneca PA 34 as follows:

  • 30 hours on FNPT 11
  • 15 hours on PA 34

When the training is completed a flight test is then conducted on a complex multi engine aircraft (PA 34).
