A Guide to the EASA IR Flight Test gives a detailed description of the European Instrument Rating flight test. From meeting the examiner through to the post-flight debrief, it describes what the examiner expects to see and how to demonstrate it. It is written to reflect the test as it proceeds on the day and describes in detail, the standards required for each section to gain a full pass.
It also gives advice on how to choose a flight school, pre-course preparation, typical oral questions along with answers, and valuable tips to improve performance. It is suitable for any candidate following the integrated, modular, or ICAO conversion course. Pilots will also find it a useful resource in preparation for an IR revalidation/renewal, or indeed the UK IR (Restricted)/IMC flight test.
