Air Gold Coast's Flight Instructor Rating course is conducted in accordance with the requirements in CASA Part 61T.

The course commences with an aeronautical knowledge assessment and right hand seat introduction flight (included in tuition fees) followed by a 2 week Flight Instructor Rating theory and the TAE for Aviation module. The Flight Instructor Rating course is based on the FAA Flight Instructor Handbook.

Candidates will then undertake an intensive ten weeks classroom and flying program to develop the skills required to be successful Flight Instructor. Flight training sessions are conducted in a Cessna 172.

Upon successful completion of the course graduates will be issued with a CASA Flight Instructor Rating with a Grade 3 Training Endorsement and AVI50419 Diploma of Aviation (Flight Instructor).

To qualify for the AVI50519 Diploma of Aviation (Instrument Rating), students are required to have undertaken AVI50215/AVI50219 Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilots Licence-Aeroplane). Students with an CASA CPL can also apply but will require a Recognition of Prior Learning for competency in imported units.  This course is of eleven weeks duration and a minimum of 40 hours instrument flight training in Instrument Meteorological Conditions, day and night covering such things as navigational aid tracking, instrument approach and landing, departure and emergency procedures.

The Gold Coast is ideally placed to provide this type of training with two airports having ILS approaches in the local area. There are also airports with VOR, NDB, and GPS non-precision approaches that are all within a short flight time.

The Command Instrument Rating is available in either a single or multi engine aircraft. This rating allows the holder to conduct flights in Instrument Meteorological Conditions. Full time and part time flexible courses are available.
