Pilot Lindy's video: Multi Engine Instrument Rating 6 10 How to Become a Pilot Series

How to Become a Pilot?!🧑🏽‍✈️🛩 Part 6: Multi-Engine and Instrument Rating Two important flying exams for the pilot licence are the Multi Engine and the Instrument Rating. 🧭 To prepare for the Instrument Rating, you start in the simulator. There, you will learn all the basics of IFR (Instrumental Flight Rules). You will learn to use VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) Radio Beacons and DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) to navigate without seeing outside for visual reference. 📡 In the simulator, you will learn the following manoeuvres: Intercept VOR radials: Understand on which radial you are currently flying and calculate which heading you need to fly to get in the quickest way to the new radial. ⏱ Fly DME arcs: You will need to fly around the DME station with a constant distance from the station. 🌐   Make holding patterns: You fly over the station, make a 180 degree turn, fly for one minute outbound, make a 180 degree turn again and fly inbound to the station again. 🔁 Fly an ILS: In your flight instruments you will find indications to fly more up, more down, more to the left or more to the right. This requires precision flying and small adjustments to not overshoot to the other direction. 〰️ When you will start to practice IFR in the aircraft, you will first practice all these procedures and later on follow real approach charts to make VOR and ILS approaches. You will make cross country IFR flights to airports and land there using only your instruments! 🎛 Next up is the Multi Engine Rating. It’s an important part of your licence. You will start studying all about the new airplane with two engines. 🛩 Flying a multi-engine airplane is not very different from flying a single-engine airplane, except for the extra power and for the fact that if you get an engine failure, the plane will bank towards the direction of the engine that does not generate thrust. 🌀 In your preparation for your Multi Engine exam, you will therefore practice a lot of engine failures and manoeuvres. ✅ So there you are, you have a PPL, an Instrument Rating and a Multi Engine Rating. What’s next? The Commercial Pilot Licence! See you tomorrow! 😃
