The Command Instrument Rating is the most demanding and challenging to obtain. It requires the development of good hand-eye co-ordination skills, procedural proficiency and the ability to make command decisions. Without a Command Instrument Rating a pilot must operate in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) at all times. Successful completion of this rating will enable you to operate in nearly all weather conditions. As a charter or airline pilot your employment opportunities are much higher if you are able to fly in all types of weather. Once you have attained it you will be a pilot with abilities shared by only a few at the very top of aviation tree.
Your training commences in the increasingly popular AGMK6 Aeroguidance simulator. This trainer is set up in its single engine mode.The system is fully computerised with all types of navaids, including DME and GPS, and can simulate all sorts of procedures including Air Traffic Control, weather, and the most important emergency procedures that cannot be practiced in real flight. The trainer is also used for recency requirements. Your training will consist of 15 Hours in the simulator and the remaining hours in the aircraft. This cuts down the cost of the IFR Rating. The flight training component is conducted in the Piper PA28R Arrow.

Note: If you have an overseas PPL, before you exercise the privileges of this license, you will need to undertake a “flight review” in Australia. It will be necessary to undertake some “familiarisation flying” to get used to flying in the new environment and prepare for the flight review. Please discuss with us so that we can provide an estimate of the hours/costs required. Landing fees and en-route navigation charges shall be charged separately (approximately $650). An invoice shall be issued by course completion. CASA fees are not included in your course fees and are payable directly to CASA.. These include licence issue (approximately $50), flight test fees (approximately $850), theory exam fees (approximately $160), aviation medical (approximately $650) and ASIC security clearance (approximately $257). If you do not already hold an ICAO ELP Certificate of at least Level 4 you will need to undertake an Aviation English Language Proficiency Assessment ($120-$250).
The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requires you to meet ONE of the following English language requirements.
Note: Specified country means United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, United States of America, New Zealand, Canada (proof of English language proficiency may still be required)
Note: If you do not meet our requirements for Direct Course entry, you have the option of undertaking a preliminary English course with our associate English College in Melbourne
