The instrument rating enables you to fly in non-visual flight conditions using various instruments to guide you. TVSA can guide you through either a Single-engine or Multi-engine Instrument Rating. These ratings consist of simulator and in-flight practical work.

Prior to commencing the synthetic trainer section of the rating, you are required to have completed an IREX (instrument rating examination) theory course. The exam must be sat and passed prior to the commencement of the single engine training. Refer to our theory section for course information.

Here at TVSA, we believe in conducting your instrument training in the aircraft types that you will most likely be flying for your first job. Conducting the multi-engine training in our turbo charged Seneca gives you a great head start when it comes to getting that first job.
