INSTRUMENT RATING (SINGLE ENGINE AND MULTI-ENGINE)

OVERVIEW

 An instrument rating on a license is required to fly in the IMC conditions (INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS) which are generally due to bad weather conditions. An instrumented-rated holder is eligible to fly in these weather conditions by using instruments. Instrument rating tests can be taken in either single or multi-engine aircraft, with the qualification awarded being known as SEIR or MEIR respectively.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

 

  • Age: 18 years
  • Educational Qualification: Must be cleared with all the theory exams of the Private Pilot Licenses OR Commercial Pilot License
  • Medical Requirements: Candidates must meet the DGCA CLASS 1 MEDICALS standards.

    Note: For an Instrument Rating on a single-engine aircraft, additional instrument flying hours in a retractable gear single-engine aircraft are required.
