Multi Engine Instrument Rating

Take your licence to a whole new level! Fly a bigger, more complex aircraft and expand the weather conditions in which you can fly. Perhaps you would like the convenience of flying to a business meeting or doing a weekend getaway. Maybe your dream is to fly for a major airline. A multi-IFR rating is a key step in progressing to type ratings on larger airplanes.

In addition to simulator training, you will receive approximately 20 hours of multi-engine instrument instruction in Montair’s Piper Seneca II turbocharged aircraft. The amount of actual instrument will vary depending on your ability and level of previous training experience. Montair’s multi engine instrument rating is aimed at making you a safe, knowledgeable and proficient instrument pilot whether you fly for recreation or are planning a career in aviation.
