Multi Engine Instrument Rating (ME/IR)

Multi Engine Instrument Rating (Aeroplanes)
ACS Aviation is Scotland's flight training specialist for
Instrument Rating training. We operate two Diamond DA42
Twinstars and an Alsim AL42 Flight Simulator that matches the
flight characteristics of the aircraft. This provides continuity for
training and makes the transition from the procedural trainer to
the aircraft much easier.
The aim of the course is to train the student to safely and
effectively command a multi-engine aeroplane under
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) with an approach to land down to
a minimum decision height of 200ft.
The course for a ME/IR(A) entails 55 hours of instruction in
instrument flying which is divided into 40 hours in the Flight and
Navigation Procedure Trainer (FNPT II) and 15 hours total time
in a Diamond DA42 Twinstar aircraft.
Students holding an IR(H) may have the training course
reduced to by a minimum of 10 hours.
