The Multi-Engine Command Instrument Rating (ME CIR) Course is a 10 week course designed to get students through their Instrument Rating while training on multi-engine aircraft and achieving their multi-engine endorsement.
This course is distinctive in the market as students fly multi-engine aircraft while doing their instrument rating. Most flying schools uses single engine aircraft for instrument rating, and students miss out on the opportunity to fly multi-engine aircraft.
The course takes 10 weeks to complete, and is broken up into 2 stages; IREX theory and flying.
IREX Theory
IREX theory is more challenging than CPL exams, and Basair dedicates 2 weeks of full time ground study to ensure students are fully prepared for the exam.
