A Multi-Engine Rating adds twin-engine aircraft to your pilot certificate. It typically takes only 10–15 flight hours and has no fixed FAA hour minimum — it is a proficiency-based add-on. Training centers on engine-out aerodynamics, systems management, and single-engine procedures, flown in our turbocharged Piper Seneca II.

Why fly twins

Twin-engine aircraft are the bridge to most professional flying jobs. A multi-engine rating proves you can manage the added performance, complexity, and — most importantly — the demanding procedures when one engine quits. It's a short rating in hours, but an intense and rewarding one.

What you will master

  • Multi-engine aerodynamics, including VMC and single-engine performance.
  • Engine-out identification, control, and recovery.
  • Systems management for our turbocharged Piper Seneca II.
  • Multi-engine takeoffs, approaches, and landings to checkride standards.
Answers

Multi-Engine Rating in Utah — FAQs

How long does a multi-engine rating take?
Most pilots finish in 10–15 flight hours over one to two weeks. There is no FAA hour minimum — it is based on demonstrating proficiency.
Is multi-engine required for the airlines?
Yes. Airline aircraft are multi-engine, and the rating (plus a multi-engine ATP) is part of the path. Many pilots also pursue a Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) certificate to build twin time while teaching.
