MULTI-ENGINE TRAINING

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why learn to fly multi-engine aircraft?

• Extra Engine - additional engine means additional safety, redundancy
• Faster Travel - ability to travel faster to a destination
• Career Building - multi-engine experience required prior to entering professional aviation industry
• Personal Challenge - upgrade your knowledge, judgement, and piloting skill

What are the requirements for the Multi-Engine Land add-on?

There are no minimum time requirements for the MEL class rating, however, only an instructor sign-off for both flight and ground training. The Multi-Engine Land rating is "added on" to your existing Single-Engine Land Private, Commercial, or ATP certificate. For the full add-on, both VFR and IFR operations will be emphasized, however, there are options for VFR Only and Center-Line Thrust restricted certification.

Generally, the multi-engine training course is at minimum 10 hours of flight time in the Piper Seminole and 5 hours of ground training with an MEI. Depending on proficiency, availability, and skill, you may need more than the recommended minimum times. Also, there is no additional written exam for the add-on, only the required oral and flight exams.

How long does it take?

The time duration of the course depends on schedule and proficiency, the more frequently you can attend ground and flight lessons, the less time it will take. The average amount of time to obtain the rating ranges from 2 weeks to several months.

What does multi-engine training consist of?

The flight portion of the course consists of normal and emergency multi-engine aircraft operations, and maneuvers, while the ground topics include aircraft systems, principles of flight (normal and single-engine), aerodynamics, and weight & balance.
