Multi-Engine Endorsements
Step up to the world of twin-engine aircraft!
This course provides you with the specific skills required to safely and accurately operate a twin-engine aircraft. While each type of twin engine aircraft requires a specific type/class endorsement, your initial endorsement will allow you to quickly transition to other types in the future.
Most people are under the belief that two engines are always better than one – this is not always true! In many light twin-engine aircraft having an engine failure can result in it being more of a handful than the single engine, and a positive rate of climb may not be assured.
For prospective commercial pilots a multi-engine type rating is essential to both build experience and obtain a position flying charter or in the airlines.
Your training will be conducted in a Piper Seneca II – this is a high performance aircraft featuring turbo-charged engines, retractable undercarriage, CSU propellers and modern avionics including a HSI and Garmin 530 GPS.
Your initial multi-engine type rating course consists of two main components:
- Multi-Engine Theory
- Multi-Engine Flight Training
Your training will be based on the Civil Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP) 5.23 relating to Multi-Engine Aeroplane Operations and Training.
Flight Training and Experience Requirements
Your flight training will cover the following aspects of multi-engine operations. Theory covering these topics will be delivered through classroom briefings before flight.
- Procedures
- General Handling
- Advanced Handling
- Circuits
- Introduction to Asymmetric Flight
- Critical and Safety Speeds
- Asymmetric Performance
- Instrument Flying
There is a minimum flight time of 5.0 hours for this rating, with the syllabus recommending 7.0 hours.
Having obtained your initial multi-engine type endorsmenet subsequent endorsements can typically be completed in as little as 2.0 hours of flight time.
