Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR) and Single-Engine Instrument Rating (SEIR):
Under DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) regulations in India, the Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR) and Single-Engine Instrument Rating (SEIR) enable pilots to fly using only cockpit instruments rather than relying on outside visual references. MEIR allows pilots to operate multi-engine aircraft in challenging conditions, such as low visibility or poor weather, while SEIR covers single-engine aircraft. These ratings are essential for advancing pilot capabilities and ensuring safe flight operations under instrument flight rules (IFR).

A Multi-Engine Rating (MER) certifies a pilot to operate an aircraft equipped with more than one engine, enhancing versatility and safety in aviation. This qualification not only boosts a pilot’s skillset but also prepares them for high-performance aircraft, offering increased reliability, power, and capability in more demanding environments. With MER, pilots gain the expertise needed to manage the unique dynamics of multi-engine planes, such as handling asymmetric thrust during engine failures and maximizing operational efficiency—an essential step for those aiming to advance in professional aviation.

A type rating is the endorsement on your licence that allows you to fly a specific airline aircraft such as the Airbus A320, Boeing 737 or ATR. It involves detailed ground school and simulator training on that aircraft’s systems, procedures and handling, followed by recurrent checks to stay current.
GetWings helps CPL holders plan and complete their type rating with approved ATOs in India and abroad, so the move from student pilot to airline-ready pilot is structured and well guided.
Obtaining a flight instructor rating allows a Commercial Pilot License holder to teach students while also building flight hours and earning income. This experience not only enhances their skills but also helps them stand out in the competitive airline industry with additional instructing hours.
