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.
The advantage of this additional qualification
Air Lloyd’s ME-IR(H) training will ensure you are eligible for the best opportunities on the job market. These days you need the ME-IR(H) qualification for various professions in the field of aviation, for example air rescuecommercial passenger transport or offshore aviation. These types of deployment are exclusively carried out using multi-engine helicopters with instrument flying capabilities. Thus, this qualification offers an attractive way to develop yourself and your flying skills..

Training procedure
Training duration
In principle, you should allow 6-8 weeks for the entire practical training procedure. During this time, you will be scheduled 40 hours in the simulator (FNPT II) and 10 hours in an EC135 helicopter. There will also be theoretical classes in the training room, pre-flight discussions and post-flight debriefings.
Training site
Both the theoretical and practical flight training take place at AIR LLOYD in Bonn-Hangelar, Germany. The FNPT II simulator training takes place in Trento, Italy.
Exam
After you have successfully completed the theoretical exams and instrument flight training, you are ready to take the practical exam. It is our top priority to prepare you for this day to the best of our ability. The practical exam consists of a one-hour flight during which you will be tested on the procedures you have learnt. After you pass the exam, the EASA Part-FCL ME-IR (H) Single-Pilot Permission will be entered in your licence by the competent authority.
School
Our school is an Approved Training Organisation certified by the German Federal Aviation Authority, and is approved for aeronautical training. All courses offered are approved to EASA Part-FCL level
