COURSE DESCRIPTION
Designed predominantly to extend the aeronautical privileges of Commercial Pilot Licence holders, a multi-engine instrument rating enables pilots to safely carry out their role in a broader range of meteorological conditions and at night, using navigation aids.
Instrument Rating training in this diploma programme is conducted on a multi-engine aircraft. The diploma therefore includes the training necessary to obtain a CASA multi-engine rating.
Flight One School of Aviation has the privilege of being a CASA certified Flight Training Organisation and a CRICOS and VSL approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO). These combined approvals allow us to deliver theory and practical training and assessments to domestic and international students toward Australian pilot licences through formal Australian Qualifications Framework diplomas and additionally, offer VET Student Loans as a payment option for domestic students.
Training is conducted at Archerfield Airport in Brisbane and Gold Coast Airport at the Gold Coast, by experienced aviation instructors utilising authentic training equipment and well maintained aircraft.
About the Instrument Rating
Commercial pilots carry out the safety critical activity of flight for reward in support of a wide range of clients. The vast array of activities undertaken include charter, aeromedical, passenger transport, photography and survey work.
Commercial pilots holding an Instrument Rating can carry out their role in a broader range of meteorological conditions using navigation aids like:
Non-Directional Beacons (NDB)
VHF Omni Directional Radio Ranges (VOR)
Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) / Localisers (LLZ)
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) or GPS Arrival systems (DGA)
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
Outcomes
Our MEIR programme is designed around the concept of industry readiness – providing each graduate with the CASA theory and associated examinations required.
The course includes formal theory training aligned to the knowledge requirements within the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations, and assessments that are delivered under Flight One’s CASA Part 141 Flight Training Organisation Approval Certificate. When combined with our extensive practical training, this structure empowers our graduates and prepares them to seize career opportunities as they arise.
To be eligible to gain multi-engine and instrument ratings, candidates must meet CASA’s stipulated requirements including exams and flight tests conducted by CASA appointed testing officers.
The expected outcomes of this course, subject to demonstrated competencies and CASA requirements, are:
