Take the next leap in your aviation career with Adelaide Aviation’s advanced Multi-Engine Class Rating (MECIR), Instrument Rating, and IPC (Instrument Proficiency Check) programs. These qualifications prepare you for more complex aircraft, variable weather, and the highest standards of flying precision.
Multi-Engine Class Rating (MECIR)
Master the art of operating twin-engine aircraft — a critical skill for commercial and airline-bound pilots. With advanced flight handling techniques and emergency procedures, you’ll gain the skills needed to fly faster, heavier, and more capable aircraft.
Why it matters:
- Access to a wider range of aircraft
- Enhanced safety through engine redundancy
- Stronger résumé for charter, regional, and airline applications
- Experience with more complex flight planning and performance metrics
Instrument Rating (IFR)
Flying isn’t always about clear skies. The Instrument Rating equips you to operate safely and confidently in low-visibility conditions and controlled airspace — navigating solely using your instruments. It’s a requirement for most commercial roles and essential for professional-grade flying.
You’ll learn:
- Full IFR flight planning and procedures
- Instrument approach and departure protocols
- Holding patterns and missed approach techniques
- Decision-making in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions)
- Navigation using GNSS, VOR, ILS, and ADF systems
Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC)
Need to keep your Instrument Rating current? Preparing for and successfully completing your IPC will help you meet CASA requirements and sharpen your instrument flying skills. Whether for renewal or recency, we’ll ensure you’re up to standard — with professional guidance in both assessment and instruction.
Train at Adelaide Aviation
All multi-engine and IFR training are conducted across all bases and included a real-world application of flights to nearby airports for use of all relevant IFR infrastructure to facilitate safe training while allowing effective assessment of our students true abilities under the hood or in IMC. At Adelaide Aviation, IFR training introduces students to a real-world controlled airspace experience and a professional way to manage and execute IFR departure/arrival procedures. IFR training builds on your VFR foundation to set you up for success. You’ll get first hand exposure to the type of airspace and workload complexity you’ll encounter in commercial aviation, and graduate confident to fly IFR.
