Advanced Training – 10 Hours Instrument Flying

A 10‑hour instrument‑flying block is one of the most effective ways to progress through IR(R) training. With time spread across multiple structured lessons, you’ll build confidence, develop key instrument‑flying skills, and gain a clear understanding of how training advances from one session to the next.

Each lesson begins with a briefing on the ground before you head out to the aircraft. Once airborne, your instructor will guide you through the essentials, introduce new techniques as you advance, and give you hands‑on time to practise them throughout the block.

A strong, structured foundation for IR(R) training.

Meaningful progress across multiple instrument lessons.

With ten hours of dual instruction, you’ll experience how instrument‑flying skills build from one lesson to the next — an ideal pathway if you’re working toward the IR(R).

What's Involved?

A structured series of instrument‑flying lessons designed to build confidence, develop core skills, and establish a solid IR(R) foundation.

  • Pre‑flight briefings before each instrument lesson
  • Ten hours of dual instruction under simulated instrument conditions
  • Progressive introduction to core instrument‑flying techniques
  • Instructor feedback and time for questions after each session
  • Are there any medical restrictions?

    Most pilots can take part in instrument training without any issues. If you have a medical condition that affects mobility, balance, or breathing, just let us know so we can advise you properly.

  • Are there any weight or size limitations?

    Yes — light aircraft have practical limits. If you’re unsure whether this applies to you, get in touch and we’ll confirm before you book.

  • Do I need a licence to do this?

    Yes — instrument‑flying training for the IR(R) can only be taken once you hold a PPL.

  • Can I bring someone with me?

    Some training aircraft have a spare seat, which can be used depending on weight and balance. If this is important to you, ask us when booking.

  • What happens if the weather is bad?

    If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll simply reschedule your lesson for another day. Safety and comfort always come first.

  • Does this count toward the IR(R)?

    Yes — all dual‑instruction time can be logged and counts toward the hours required for the IR(R) rating.
