- Instrument flying (full and limited panel)
- Unusual attitude recoveries
- Instrument approaches (ILS, NDB, VOR, SRA, RNAV)
- Radio Navigation
Validity is for 25 months and requires a test to revalidate. Course entry requirements:
- 25 hours flying time since PPL issue of which
- 10 hours must be PIC including 5 hours cross-country
The IMC rating is recorded on your EASA licence as an IR(R) – Instrument Rating (Restricted) – or if you maintain your CAA licence, it remains as an IMC. Please note that the rating cannot be added to a LAPL, it is also only recognized within UK airspace.
As with all other courses, please contact us should you have any questions, or better still arrange a visit to speak to a senior instructor to discuss your flying needs.
