IR (A) - Instrument Rating (Aeroplane)
Instrument Rating refers to the qualifications that a pilot must have in order to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Instrument rating is a must if you want to become a professional pilot and is useful when flying long distances. It is difficult to fly 300-600 NM without encountering bad weather that requires instrument skills.
Students that are assigned to the IR theoretical course may come to the Flying Academy and use its facilities and materials for studying anytime.
Lecturers are also available through appointment, outside of the official consultation days. These appointments are also a good way to make up classes that are missed due to absences.
