Although we show the IR as the final step, you may complete an IR at any time after your PPL. The minimum requirement for the full IR course is 55 hours unless you meet the requiremnets for CPL issue in which the full IR course becomes a 45 hour course. Whether your course is 45 or 55 hours, a minimum of 15 hours must be completed in the aircraft; the remainder may be completed in a suitable simulator called a Flight and Navigation Procedures Trainer II (“FNPT II”). Up to 40 hrs may be completed in a FNPT II.
