IR(A) Competency Based             [ MORE INFO ]



Orbifly is approved for both single-engine and multi-engine competency-based IR(A) training (CB-IR).

This ICAO-level rating allows you to fly under IFR as pilot-in-command on European-registered airplanes. We can also help you convert it into an American IR, to allow you to fly N-registered aircraft.
Note: Under certain conditions, the holder of a valid Basic IR can also convert it towards a CB-IR.

If you already hold a valid theoretical CB-IR, IR or ATPL, we can start the practical phase of IR training directly with you!

Do you need to pass the theory first?
We can also assist you with our partners! Read on...

   

      Ready to get started? Groundschool first !

Do you need to pass the theory first? No problem!
Orbifly has established two partnerships, depending on whether you wish to follow the theoretical CB-IR training in French or in English!

To take the CB-IR in French: To take the CB-IR in English:


Theory in hand ? Let's fly !


✈ EASA CB-IR practical training :

The EASA competency-based IR offers you great flexibility.

The practical IR training is organized in 3 intensive phases of 5 days each, then an in-flight assessment determines whether the trainee is ready for the exam. At the end, a flight examination is organized.
    Phase 1 : Basic instrument flying
    Phase 2 : Approaches and procedures, basics of enroute
    Phase 3 : Advanced enroute and abnormal situations
The holder of a single-engine IR can also be trained for a transition to the multi-engine IR.

✈ Program of the training :

Orbifly specializes in intensive training.
The quickest and most effective formula consists of following the training according to an intensive program in blocks of 5 days, over a maximum period of 2 to 3 months, test included.
However, this ideal program can be adapted according to your constraints.

The overall training duration of course depends on the initial level and progress of each student, as well as any past experience. We will study your case with you.

✈ Your training on your own aircraft?

Why be trained on another aircraft, if you then plan to practice IFR on yours?
With this belief in mind, we are advocates of training owners on their own machines whenever possible.

On request, we can integrate your aircraft into the ATO fleet during your training. You will be operational as soon as you qualify!
Part of your training may even take place in your sector, if suitable for IFR training.

You don't have a aircraft?
No problem, we have partner planes.

✈ Holder of an FAA or ICAO instrument rating

Do you hold an FAA or ICAO IR?
There are several ways to convert it to an EASA IR!

Whether it is a conversion based on BASA EU-US agreements, or an ICAO conversion, whether your IR is valid or not, whether your experience is significant or not, we are experts in the field and will know study your situation with you to find the most suitable solution.

✈ Do you use an iPad in flight?

Note that we have negotiated an unbeatable price for one year from Foreflight + Jeppesen, in order to reduce the cost of your training.
Contact us prior to subscribing, in order to benefit from our negotiated rates.
