KAC Multi Engine Instrument Rating
At KAC Flying School, the Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR) is an advanced flight training program designed to prepare pilots for the operational demands of commercial airline environments. This course is pursued after completing the Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and is a critical step toward mastering airline-oriented skills.
The MEIR program provides a blend of in-depth theoretical instruction and practical flight training, focusing on flying instrument approaches and managing complex multi-engine aircraft systems. Students gain proficiency in handling multi-engine aircraft under instrument flight rules (IFR), enhancing their situational awareness and operational competence in all weather conditions.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will be eligible for a Technical Type Rating (TTR) and Instrument Rating (IR) on twin-engine aircraft, enabling you to advance toward commercial airline operations.
The approximate duration of the full-time MEIR course is 6 to 8 weeks, requiring a minimum of 40 training hours as stipulated by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) PEL Regulation 78. These hours include 20 hours in a multi-engine aircraft and 20 hours on a flight simulator.
