Single-engine Instrument Rating IR SE
Single Engine Instrument Rating
Discover a new dimension and learn to pilot a single-engine aircraft under IFR conditions
Discover instrument flight on single-engine aircraft
The IR SE rating enables you to fly under Instrument Flying Rules (IFR) in low cloud and reduced visibility conditions.
This rating is obtained on the basis of the CB IR regulations, thereby offering you IFR privileges on any single-engine aircraft not belonging to the High Performance Aircraft (HPA) category. If necessary, an additional HPA training course can lift this limitation.
