Please talk to us about you exact requirements. Customers who are unfamiliar with these will need differences training and some additional practice. Note that we use an aircraft with a retractable undercarriage and variable pitch propeller. This is a maximum even if your course took longer than this, only the 15 hours is allowed. Secondly, 15 hours of the instrument flight instruction provided during the IR(R) course is allowed as training time for the CBIR.
Firstly, it provides, or should provide, the core skills for safe IFR flight. Is the IR(R) useful as a stepping stone to the CBIR? The answer is yes. Gloucester has ILS, NDB, and RNP approaches. One approach type is signed off during your course and the other is examined during your skill test. The regulations require you to be trained for one precision and one non precision approach. We aim to achieve limits of speed, heading and altitude close to those required for the IR. Key differences include the use of SOPs, and of IFR flight checklists.

This is because we teach the core skills required for the full IR, and we cannot do this in 15 hours of flight instruction. The actual schedule will vary in order to integrate TK and flying. You will however need to arrive having completed our pre course study recommendations. These times include theoretical knowledge revision and written test. If part time, it is most efficient to divide the course into 2 x 3-4 days blocks, separated by no more than 3-4 weeks. We can provide training for the IR(R) on a full-time or part-time basis. A pass is valid for 21 months for licence issue, and for 12 months following the flight test.ġ5 hours of instrument flight instruction are required of which 10 must be flight by sole reference to instruments. The standalone IR(R) theory exam comprises 25 multiple-choice questions, has a pass mark of 75%, and can be undertaken at most flight schools or ATOs. TheoryĬourse material is available for self study in a single book. Flights are unlikely to require filed IFR flight plans and are often conducted outside controlled airspace. The privilege of the IR(R) is to fly under IFR and in IMC in UK airspace. This applies to all classes of airspace except A, B and C (thus excluding IFR airways) but does include instrument approach procedures.
The audiogram required for the CBIR is not necessary.
PrerequisitesĪpplicants must hold a PPL with 25 hours after qualifying of which 10 as PIC and 5 cross country.Ī night rating is required if the IR(R) is to be valid at night.Ī Class 2 medical is required. It is probably only good value if you have the intention of carrying on to do the IR or you want to also gain an understanding of a complex aircraft with a glass cockpit. An IR(R) with Rate One will cost more than an IR(R) taken in your local club. If you just want to fly mainly VFR but have some instrument skills for use in an emergency, cheaper courses using simple aircraft are likely to suit you better. Our IR(R) course is only likely to be attractive if you are serious about getting into instrument flying, using this as a first step towards the full CBIR. It is especially useful for occasional IFR flight in poor weather and includes the full range of instrument approach procedures, albeit with higher recommended minima. Training is widely available at many local flying schools and simply requires aircraft equipped for IFR flight in compliance with Part NCO capability for flight in Class A airspace is not required. This is a UK CAA rating it only applies in UK airspace and would normally only be held by UK pilots it is attached to a UK PPL, or a UK Part FCL licence.
