CB-IR(A) theory: the competency-based route to the instrument rating.

The approved 80-hour theoretical knowledge course for PPL(A) and CPL(A) holders. We were the first theory school in Germany to introduce it. €1,250.

Who it's for

The route is designed for PPL(A) or CPL(A) holders. Prior instrument training can be credited in the practical part, subject to Part-FCL and an ATO assessment.

The seven subjects

  • Air Law
  • Instrumentation
  • Flight Planning & Monitoring
  • Human Performance
  • Meteorology
  • Radio Navigation
  • Communications

How it runs

Structured self-study with instructor support, EASA question training and mock exams, then progress tests and school exams. We help you plan the theory exams internationally and point you to EASA ATOs for the practical training.
