Privileges of Licence

The Command Instrument Rating is the most demanding and challenging to obtain. It requires the development of good hand-eye co-ordination skills, procedural proficiency and the ability to make command decisions. Without a Command Instrument Rating a pilot must operate in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) at all times.

Successful completion of this rating will enable you to operate in nearly all weather conditions. As a charter or airline pilot your employment opportunities are much higher if you are able to fly in all types of weather. Once you have attained it you will be a pilot with abilities shared by only a few at the very top of aviation tree.

Course

Your training commences in the increasingly popular AGMK6 Aeroguidance simulator. This trainer is set up in its single engine mode.The system is fully computerised with all types of navaids, including DME and GPS, and can simulate all sorts of procedures including Air Traffic Control, weather, and the most important emergency procedures that cannot be practiced in real flight. The trainer is also used for recency requirements.

Your training will consist of 15 Hours in the simulator and the remaining hours in the aircraft. This cuts down the cost of the IFR Rating. The flight training component is conducted in the Piper PA44 Seminole.

It will be necessary to undertake some “familiarisation flying” to get used to flying in the new environment and prepare for the flight review. Please discuss with us so that we can provide an estimate of the hours/costs required.

If you do need to do an English test, its important to choose the best test that satisfies both the Student Visa and CASA requirements.

TOEFL iBT can be effective – if you score 71+ then all requirements are satisfied but if you score 64-70 you will meet student visa requirements but still need to be assessed on arrival by a CASA approved assessor,
Pearson, Cambridge English and the Occupational English Test (OET) are okay for the Student Visa however to meet CASA requirements you would need to be assessed on arrival by a CASA approved assessor.
Note: Your assessment with a CASA approved assessor will result in an ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) English Language Proficiency Level of between 1 and 6. The minimum required is Level 4 (a Native Speaker would usually be Level 6).
