The ME-IR(H) Type Rating
Multi-Engine Instrument Rating for Helicopter pilots
The ME-IR(H) instrument rating has become almost indispensable for commercial operations involved in passenger transport.
A helicopter equipped with two engines offers additional safety compared to other helicopters, as it can continue the flight in any flight phase (flight performance class 1) in the event of one failed engine (OEI: one engine inoperative).
The ability to complete flights safely in the event of limited visibility and/or in the event of possible engine failure makes the ME-IR(H) type rating an essential component for professional pilots, and a worthwhile objective for ambitious private pilots.
Once you have the ME-IR(H) type rating, you will be entitled to fly as a Pilot in Command (PIC) under instrument flight rules (IFR). Such pilots are capable of multi-tasking and able to fly the aircraft safely while coping with potential challenges.
