ME IR Instruction
Hi
Could anyone offer me advice about the best routes to become a ME IR instructor. I have multi engine/multi crew experience with an airline but no instructor experience.
Also does anyone have any idea of what the pay might be like.

From LASORS, detailing instrument rating instruction, with a bit about the ME. An FI rating will be needed.
H2.1 INSTRUMENT RATING INSTRUCTOR
(AEROPLANE) (IRI(A))
Privileges
The privileges of the holder of an IRI(A) rating are
limited to conduct flight instruction for:
a. The issue of an IR(A) single-engine aeroplanes;
b. The issue of an IR(A) multi-engine aeroplanes,
provided that the instructor meets the
requirements of JAR-FCL 1.380(a).
Requirements
a. The applicant for an IRI(A) shall hold a valid
IR(A).
b. Have completed at least 800 hours of flight time
under IFR of which at least 400 shall be in
aeroplanes. Where pilots have recorded flight by
sole reference to instruments and not under IFR,
then 1 hour sole reference to instruments may be
counted as 4 hours flight by IFR.
c. Successfully completed at an approved FTO and
approved course (see Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL
1.395 and AMC FCL 1.395) comprising
theoretical knowledge instruction and at least ten
hours of flight instruction on an aeroplane, flight
simulator or FNPT II; and.
d. Pass the relevant elements of a FI Skill Test in a
single pilot aeroplane with a suitably qualified
FIE(A).
e. IRI(A)’s who wish to conduct training for a ME IR
are also required to have met the qualifications
for a ME CRI. Where both courses are conducted
together, the teaching and learning element is
common to both CRI and IRI courses.
Candidates qualifying for the teaching and
learning exemption in accordance with Appendix
1 to JAR-FCL 1.395(2) who combine both ME
CRI and IRI qualifications on one course will be
required to complete a minimum of 15 hours
theoretical training before attempting the ME CRI
and IRI Skill Tests. The IRI(A) rating is designed
to train instructors to teach for the JAA IR within
an approved FTO. In the UK, the same (IRI)
qualification course is also used to qualify
instructors to teach for the UK National IMC
rating. The entry requirements for the IRI course
to teach solely for the UK IMC rating are detailed
in Section H1.4 (Removal of No Applied
Instrument Restriction). The theoretical ground
training requirements shall be the same as those
required for the IRI qualification.

Why do it if it's not fun?

What exactly do you want to teach?
Briefly:
If you want to teach for the multi-engine course and IR course, then you will need to become a CRI and an IRI. For the CRI, you need to have 300 hours on aeroplanes, and also 30 hours P1 on MEPs. N.b. the 30 hours must be on MEPs - other MEs (jets/turbo-props) don't count! For the IRI, you need either 800 hours IFR time, or 200 hours by sole reference to instruments.
I'm not sure how many jobs there are for people with these qualifications, because most schools that teach these courses also teach for the CPL, and would expect you to be qualified to teach for that course.
If you want to teach the CPL, then you need to do a Flying Instructor Course. You will then need to do 200 hours of instruction, including supervising 25 solo student flights. (You can get the "Supervisory Restriction removed from your instructors rating after 100 hours and 25 solo supervisions, but you need 200 hours instructing before you can teach for the CPL course.) You will also need to remove the No Applied Instrument restriction from your instructor rating to teach for the IR (200 hours IFR or 50 hours by sole reference to instruments), and add Multi-engine priviledges (500 hours on aeroplanes, including 30 hours P1 on MEP - and see my comments above re. needing to be MEP and not ME turbo-prop or jet.)
If you follow the second option, then you could earn £25-£40k (there was a recent thread about this). But you will need to do your apprenticeship teaching PPL and earning bu88er-all while you build up to 200 hours of instructing time.
Hope that helps,
