Instrument Rating (IR) Schools in Netherlands
EASA-approved schools offering Instrument Rating training across Netherlands.
An Instrument Rating (IR) lets you fly in cloud and low visibility on instruments alone — essential for serious cross-country flying and a prerequisite for any airline career. Aviatr lists 20 EASA-approved ATOs in Netherlands offering single- and multi-engine IR(A) training, including the competency-based (CB-IR) route. Compare schools on simulator access, multi-engine fleet and instructor experience below.
Typical cost
An instrument rating typically costs €8,000–20,000 depending on single- vs multi-engine and how much approved simulator time replaces aircraft hours. The competency-based IR can be cheaper for pilots with existing IFR experience.
How long it takes
Most students complete an IR in 2–4 months. Expect around 40–55 hours of instrument instruction, a portion of which can be flown in an approved FNPT II simulator, plus theory and a skills test.
