Commercial Multi-Engine Pilot Course (initial):

This Multi-engine Commercial Pilot Course is for the student who wishes to advance directly to the twin engine aircraft after the single-engine instrument rating. This is the fastest and most efficient route to qualify for airline programs.

Primary areas of focus are commercial pilot knowledge level and multi-engine operations for the commercial pilot. This course also provides the student pilot with experience flying a higher performance aircraft with retractable gear, constant speed propellers, GPS, autopilot, and advanced instrumentation.

After obtaining your multi-engine commercial certificate, the addition of a single-engine to your certificate is a simple matter of mastering the maneuvers required of the single-engine commercial pilot. There is no additional written test and no minimum hour requirement!

* Hours based on FAA minimums. Average students can likely expect a few additional hours to complete

*** FAA part 61 requires only 3 hours flight training in the prior 2 months if done after multi-engine. 10 hours is the estimated time to proficiency – single engine maneuvers. Complex airplane not required if commercial certificate previously obtained
