The Multi-Engine Instrument Rating is a full-time course lasting approximately 8 weeks, delivered on-site Monday to Friday, for pilots wishing to obtain their IR(H) to enable career progression into multi-crew roles, including Oil and Gas, Search and Rescue and HEMS, or any other position which requires an instrument rating.
ME IR(H) training is conducted using the AW109, and applicants for the course need not be rated on type as the initial AW109 type rating is included. Those already holding a current and valid AW109 type rating, a fixed-wing IR, and non-UK ICAO IR(H) can also undertake a reduced course of training.
Please ensure you book your place on the course early since places are limited and there is typically a waiting list.
