The Instrument Rating IR(H) is one of the most demanding courses in the civilian world. This rating for helicopters is now required for all commercial offshore operations and, increasingly, onshore helicopter activities in Europe. The course has been specifically set up with the AS 355 FNPT II at Kemble.
If you choose to come to Starspeed for your training, you will be given access to all the Starspeed training material via a Dropbox link prior to your arrival for pre-course study. During attendance of the course students are provided with an iPad for their personal use with all study material pre-loaded.
The simulator is available for free solo flying for all students, and remains so once a course is completed.
This course comprises an extensive ground school package, followed by a minimum of 10 hours flight training in a multi engine helicopter. The customer can request the type of helicopter used.
Synthetic flight training is available (but not required) on request for familiarisation of local procedures.
The course is undertaken over a 2 week period. A type rating (see separate course information) can also be provided if required.
