IR (A) – Instrument qualification
IR is the training of pilots for the needs of flights under IFR rules under meteorological conditions for flight under IMC instruments. The basis of training is instrument flying together with increased requirements for piloting technique. There is practical training for instrument approaches and descents along with track flights.
Training is carried out at airports with adequate equipment.
Acquired flight time of 20 hours and 30 hours on the FNPT simulator
Ability to fly under instrument flight conditions
Minimal requirements
The applicant must hold a valid PPL (A) or CPL (A) license with a night rating
The applicant must have at least ICAO English level 4
In order to start the training, the applicant must hold a medical qualification of at least 2nd Class with audiometry test
A minimum flight of 50 hours as an aircraft commander (PIC)
Theoretical teaching
The theoretical part of the training takes place together with the ATPL (A) course. An IR theory student attends only some subjects from the entire ATPL (A) theory. Teaching takes place in the form of lectures, both personal and distance, with the help of our professional lecturers and is subsequently supplemented with self-study.
A condition for obtaining an IR is the successful completion of tests at the Transport Authority.

Practical teaching
The practical part of the training consists of at least 15 flight hours and 40 hours on the FNPT2 simulator
Before the first flight, a physical familiarization with the aircraft is carried out at one of our airports according to the manual for the given type of aircraft.
After proving knowledge of the aircraft manual, the student can start flying with the instructors according to the individual steps.
