Night Rating

The course length is a minimum 5 hours.

Instrument Meteorological Course

About

An IMC rating is an invaluable aid to all pilots whether fresh from the PPL course or a seasoned weekend local daytripper. Providing the necessary understanding of many of the ubiquitous radio navigational equipment that most modern light aircraft are fitted with as standard these days. This equipment will give any pilot the confidence to explore far and wide secure in the knowledge that navigation in unfamiliar territory can be precise, safe and uncompromised.

The course length is a minimum 15 hours and a flight test.

Flight Instructor Rating

About

The Flight Instructors Course (FIC) consists of 30 hours of dual training. It covers the complete PPL syllabus and teaches the you how to instruct across the length and breadth of the PPL Course. There is also instruction in how to give Pre Flight Briefings and Long Briefings for the PPL Theory. Once completed you will face a long day's scrutiny at the hands of an examiner who will test your instructional technique in both the classroom and in the cockpit. Your flying capabilities are not necessarily being tested, although a high degree of airmanship is expected.

The well developed course and experienced instructors means our current 1st time pass rate is 100% and most courses complete in the 30 hour minimum.
