Multi-Engine Airplane Rating

The Multi-Engine Airplane Land rating (MEL) qualifies pilots to be the pilot in command and operate  multi engine-airplanes ie airplanes with more than one engine. Most commercially operated airplanes are multi-engine airplanes.

This is an add-on rating to an existing single-engine private pilot, commercial pilot or ATP certification. There is no specified minimum flight time requirements for this rating. But, you need to train with a certified flight Instructor and receive endorsement in your logbook for the flight and ground training. There is no written tests for this rating but your examiner will conduct an oral test and practical check-ride in the multiengine airplane.

Pre –Requisites for Multi-engine Rating

Meet the requirements found in FAR 61.63(c). Train in the areas of operation found in FAR 61.107(b)(2) that cover the multi engine rating.

  1. Hold at least a current private pilot certificate.
  2. Must have a current FAA medical certificate.
  3. Have a minimum of 3 hours of cross-country flight training in a multi-engine airplane
  4. Have 3 hours of night flight multi-engine training, including 10 takeoff and landings to full stop, and one cross-country flight greater than 100NM
  5. 3 hours of instrument instruction in a multi-engine aircraft
  6. Minimum 3 hours of dual instruction in preparation for the practical test in the preceding 2 months
  7. Must have an endorsement in his or her logbook or training record from an authorized instructor and that endorsement must attest that the applicant has been found competent in the aeronautical knowledge areas appropriate to the pilot certificate for the aircraft class rating sought;
  8. Must have an endorsement in his or her logbook or training record from an authorized instructor, and that endorsement must attest that the applicant has been found proficient in the areas of operation appropriate to the pilot certificate for the aircraft class rating sought;
  9. Must pass the required practical test that is appropriate to the pilot certificate for the aircraft class rating sought;
  10. 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 holds a lighter-than-air category rating with a balloon class rating and is seeking an airship class rating and

Multi Engine Airplane Training

The multi engine airplane training at AIA aviation is one of the most interesting, invigorating and exciting courses. The course entails both ground training and flight training. The ground training involves aircraft knowledge, aircraft systems, multi-engine aerodynamics, multi engine emergencies, multi engine procedures and  multi-engine maneuvers. The BE-76 Duchess twin engine aircraft is used for flight training. Our multi-engine trainer has full glass cockpit and adds value to your training. It is one of the best multi-engine trainer’s with counter – rotating engines and constant speed propellers. This makes it easier to practice and demonstrate single-engine emergency maneuvers. Typically the training involves:

  • Multi engine aircraft Preflight preparation
  • Multi-engine Preflight procedures
  • Airport operations
  • Takeoffs, landings, and go-arounds
  • Performance maneuvers
  • Slow flight and stalls
  • Emergency operations
  • Post flight procedures
