Instrument Rating Theory (IREX)
The IREX is the theory component of the Command Instrument Rating, a necessary exam for the grant of a SECIR or MECIR. You will learn the theoretical side of instrument flying and gain a sound knowledge of all the nitty gritty rules imposed on IFR pilots, understand how to read Instrument Approach and Landing charts, and the meteorological challenges for the various IFR stages of flight. For further information regarding couse contents and duration, click below.
The IREX theory course is delivered by our highly experienced instructors, Charles Thompson and Mark Dixon, who together have over 60 years combined aviation experience. Charles and Mark have been teaching the IREX class successfully in conjunction with the Diploma of Aviation Instrument Rating course. We also welcome private and non-diploma students to this class too.
