During a flight, you may encounter conditions where visibility is so limited that you are 'flying blind'. Also called flying in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions). At times like these, you can only rely on your aircraft's instruments.
It goes without saying, therefore, that instrument rating, also known as Instrument Rating (IR), has a strong added value for both sport pilots and professional pilots.
For this training, we use the Tecnam P2010 MKii and our certified P2010 Simulator.
During the lessons, we will cover the different aspects of Instrument flying, including: basic attitude & limited panel flying, interceptions & holdings, approaches, arrivals, departures and the necessary exercises of preparing for an IFR flight.
You will both fly on the Tecnam, go to controlled fields, and practice in our Tecnam Simulator. Partly to master the Garmin G1000nxi avionics, we like to use the simulator.
For our IR theory, we work with Distance learning. We partner with Orbit Groundschool for this purpose. Orbit has an online system based on BSG (Bristol Ground School) where you take the Progress Test (PT) remotely via Orbit Groundschool and you take an online brush-up. Once you have successfully completed the PT and brush-up, you can take exams on site at Orbit Groundschool through Austro Control.
In addition, it is also possible not to take the exams at Austro Control, but to take your exam at the CBR.
If you're all set, you can of course register straight away. Still have questions? Take a look at our FAQ page or contact us, we will be happy to help.
Basically, your IR training starts with obtaining your PPL (Private Pilot Licence). We use the Aquila A211 for this purpose. This is a modern two-seater in which all PPL practice can be flown. This low-decker is equipped with modern avionics and a spacious open cockpit.
Apart from this, there is also the option to get your PPL on the Tecnam P2010. This is a very complete and modern high-decker. This aircraft is also used for the Instrument Rating (IR) part of the ATPL training.
