How do I get my Multi-Engine Rating/Add-on?

Multi-engine training teaches you to safely operate a twin, with emphasis on systems, performance, and engine-out control. You’ll train asymmetric thrust management, single-engine procedures, and sharper checklist discipline, then finish with a practical test with a Designated Pilot Examiner to earn your multi-engine rating.

The Path to Multi-Engine
Certification/Addon

Multi engine training is about learning to manage more performance and more complexity with disciplined procedures. You will build confidence in normal operations, then train the skills that matter most in twins: engine out control, decision making, and staying ahead of the airplane.

1. Onboarding and Goals

Meet your instructor, review prerequisites, and set a clear plan for your add on timeline, aircraft, and checkride expectations.

2. Aircraft Transition

Get comfortable with cockpit flow, checklist usage, power changes, engine indications, and how this airplane differs from the singles you are used to.

3. Normal Operations Proficiency

Sharpen takeoffs, landings, and basic maneuvers to multi engine standards, with an emphasis on smoothness, accuracy, and procedures.

4. Systems and Performance

Learn the twin’s systems in depth and how performance planning changes with weight, density altitude, and single engine limitations.

5. Engine Out Fundamentals

Train asymmetric thrust management, Vmc awareness, and the full identify, verify, and feather process with strong callouts and discipline.

6. Single Engine Procedures

Practice single engine climbs, patterns, and approach setups while maintaining control, configuration management, and stabilized profiles.

7. Practical Scenarios and Polishing

Combine systems, performance, and emergencies into realistic training scenarios so you can make good calls quickly and fly the airplane precisely.

8. Checkride Prep and Practical Test

Run full mock checkrides, tighten up weak areas, and finish with the practical test with a Designated Pilot Examiner to earn your multi engine rating.
