What is the total duration of the Multi-Engine Pilot Training course?

The Multi-Engine Pilot Training course has a total duration of 36 weeks, which encompasses both ground school instruction and flight training. This extensive timeframe is necessary to ensure that trainees develop the essential skills and knowledge required to operate multi-engine aircraft safely and effectively. The course includes instruction on systems, aerodynamics, performance, and emergency procedures specific to multi-engine flying.

In addition, trainees spend significant time gaining hands-on experience flying various maneuvers and handling system failures in a multi-engine context. The extended duration also allows for thorough assessments and evaluations at different stages of training, ensuring that all candidates achieve the competencies expected of a multi-engine pilot. This comprehensive training approach is critical for preparing future pilots to meet the complex demands of flying multi-engine aircraft in diverse operational environments.
