FAA Multiengine Training
Earn Your Multiengine Rating!
If you have a desire to fly for the Airlines, fly corporate airplanes, or need an aircraft that can seat up to six passengers and travel at an increased speed over longer distances, then a multiengine rating is a necessity. Flight schools that offer multiengine training are becoming scarcer, and those that do rarely offer training in such a well-appointed and capable airplane as is ours.
At Premier Flight Center, you’ll train in a well-maintained Piper Aztec, with the following features:
● Six-seat cabin class with leather interior
● Excellent visibility, handling and comfort
● High Performance, 250 Horsepower per engine
● Can climb and fly on one engine
● Equipped and Certified for IFR Flight
Requirements
The FAA Regulation §61.63 state the following for a person wishing to seek a Multiengine Commercial Add-on rating.
(c) Additional aircraft class rating. A person who applies for an additional class rating on a pilot certificate:
(1) Must have a logbook or training record endorsement from an authorized instructor attesting that the person was found competent in the appropriate aeronautical knowledge areas and proficient in the appropriate areas of operation.
(2) Must pass the practical test (check ride).
(3) Need not meet the specified training time requirements prescribed by this part that apply to the pilot certificate for the aircraft class rating sought; unless, the person only holds a lighter-than-air category rating with a balloon class rating and is seeking an airship class rating, then that person must receive the specified training time requirements and possess the appropriate aeronautical experience.
(4) Need not take an additional knowledge test, provided the applicant holds an airplane, rotorcraft, powered-lift, weight-shift-control aircraft, powered parachute, or airship rating at that pilot certificate level.
What this translates to is, if you already have a Commercial Airplane Single Engine Land Certificate, then adding on the Commerical Multiengine Certificate will give you both Single engine and Miltiengine Certificates with VFR privileges.
If you hold an Instrument Rating, and you are current and proficient you can add instrument privileges to the Commercial Multi Add-on by successfully completing an Instrument Approach in the course of the Practical Test (check ride).
Doing this will give you instrument privileges for both Single and Multiengine certificates.
