Multi-Engine Rating
If you want to fly higher, farther and faster, you’ll want to earn an airplane multi-engine rating in addition to a private pilot or commercial pilot certificate. The multi-engine rating is also a necessary step for any professional pilot on the road to the airlines, and is known to be one of the more enjoyable (and expensive!) training programs you’ll endure!
An applicant for a multi-engine rating is typically already a private pilot or commercial pilot. Rarely, a student pilot will choose to obtain a private pilot certificate in a multi-engine aircraft.
There is a common misconception that a multi-engine aircraft is “safer” than a single-engine airplane. After all, isn’t redundancy a good thing? In most cases, yes; but some twin-engine aircraft can actually be challenging to control when an engine fails. The multi-engine rating, therefore, focuses a lot of attention on aircraft control, performance, and single-engine operations in addition the usual training topics.
Beyond systems, controllability and performance, a multi-engine rating is pretty simple. While it is more costly to train in a twin-engine aircraft, the training is necessary for a professional pilot, and obviously important for the aircraft owner who wants to gain performance, payload, passenger space and speed.
Our Multi-Engine Rating course will extend your Private or Commercial Pilot License to include multi-engine privileges. Twice the engines really are twice the fun.
