Obtaining a Multi-Engine Rating
How to start training with Summit Flight Academy
01
Verify Eligibility and Prerequisites
Before beginning your multi-engine training at Summit Flight Academy, ensure you meet all eligibility requirements. These include having a valid pilot certificate, an up-to-date medical certification, and basic proficiency in single-engine flight maneuvers. You will also need to provide necessary documentation such as a logbook, and a valid ID, and complete pre-training preparations like familiarization with the Piper Twin Comanche (PA-30) and its systems.
02
Engage in Ground and Simulator Training
Your journey starts with ground lessons covering multi-engine aerodynamics, systems, and emergency procedures, along with simulator sessions to practice these concepts in a controlled environment. This phase is crucial for building a solid theoretical and practical foundation before actual flight training.
03
Complete Flight Training
Flight training consists of several sessions where you will operate a multi-engine aircraft under the supervision of experienced instructors. You will practice maneuvers, emergency procedures, and engine management across approximately 8.5 hours of flight time. This hands-on experience is designed to refine your skills and prepare you for the checkride.
04
Pass Evaluations and Obtain Certification
The final step involves passing a series of evaluations, including an oral exam and a practical flight test. These assessments are aimed at confirming your knowledge and ability to safely operate multi-engine aircraft. Upon successful completion, you will receive your Multi-Engine Rating, allowing you to pilot multi-engine aircraft confidently.
