Multi Engine Instrument Rating

Introduction

To qualify for the entry into the AVI50519 Diploma of Aviation (Instrument Rating), students are required to hold AVI50215 or AVI50219 Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilots Licence - Aeroplane).

This course is full time delivered over 11 weeks and includes 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 Instrument Rating is offered utilising multi engine aircraft. The rating allows the holder to conduct flights in Instrument Meteorological Conditions.
