Instructor Rating
Hi all.
I´ve just finished an integrated course (ATPL frozen) with only 200 hours.
Now I´m considering to become an instructor, but I would like to teach IFR in Multi Engines.
I think the minimum requirements would be 500 hours for the ME and 200 IFR for the IRI, wouldn´t it?
Could you give me some advices about in which order should I do the 3 courses FI, MEI and IRI?
Where would it be the cheapest...and where could I find a job (in the UK if possible) if I´m not UK citizen but I can speak English more or less fluently??
Thanks!!!

I'm not sure of the costs, but there are some Irish schools that offer instructor ratings.
www.nfc.ie
www.atlanticair.ie
I think there are a few others also. Hope this may be of some help.
Where did you do the integrated course?

With FTE, Aerofan, or AeroMadrid?
Also, have a look at www.pilottraining.ie
Probably have the best FI courses, and good job prospects in Ireland too.

They don't have prices on the website for the FI course. You can email them at [email protected] or fill out the contact form on their website.

Instructor rating before multi IFR? Or vice-versa?
Hi everyone.
I've got my commercial licence and about 320 hours. Does it make more sense to do multi-IFR next, or an instructor rating? In other words, does it make more sense to build time going the instructor route than by trying to get an entry-level job?
Cheers,
aa

Why do it if it's not fun?

Do you actually want to instruct?
If so, then do the instructor rating first. Not having a ME/IR will show potential employers that you are going to be around instructing for at least a little while, not running off to a jet job next week. Also, having a few hundred hours instructing behind you will make the ME/IR much easier.
On the other hand, if you are not planning on instructing for any length of time, then probably best to skip the instructor rating altogether.

... Your very good questions cut to the heart of my quandry. Truth is, my interest in instructing increases proportionally with the unlikelihood of landing a job with just a multi-ifr rating and 350-or-so hours. Truth is, if I were able to land the latter, the former becomes far less interesting.
Nevertheless, some very good advice in terms of the way a flight school would perceive having or not having the multi-ifr rating. Appreciate you taking the time.
