CIR RENEWAL REFRESHER PROGRAMME
Should you be low on instrument experience or it is your first renewal, our instructors are well equipped to prepare you for what most claim is harder than the initial issue. In this case we recommend at least a practice with an instructor in our simulator and if necessary a refesher ride in the aircraft. This is of course on a "as required" basis and provided your instrument rating has not expired for more than two years you may do as much or as little training as you deem necessary. However experience has shown that those attempting a renewal with very low time or little recent experience under the IFR require some training.
Our renewal refresher programme will bring most pilots up to the required standard. However the programme is always tailored to the individual only that which is required to achieve the necessary standard is completed.

The Syllabus
CIR Sim course example
Ad-Astral is located at Perth Domestic Airport. This offers easy and quick access to all navigational aids without the need for expensive and time consuming transit flights. As Perth is a Class C control zone, valuable experience operating amongst international and domestic jet traffic can be gained. For overseas license conversions, Perth offers the familiarity of Class C airspace, easing the conversion process. In addition, as our final destination is always Perth, an instrument approach to a full stop landing is guaranteed. This ensures the training value of each sortie is maximised.
