How to get a multi-engine rating?

A multi-engine rating is required if you want to work for an airline. And most professional pilot positions will have you flying a multi-engine plane. This rating allows you the be a pilot-in-command of any aircraft with more than one engine. The quality of your education for a multi-engine rating is critical since this rating is one of the most challenging.

  1. Eligibility
    To obtain your multi-engine rating you are required to have already earned a private pilot certificate. For our 3-4 day program, we also require students to have a commercial certificate and to be instrument current before you arrive.
  2. Education
    For a multi-engine rating, there isn’t an FAA written exam. Instead, you’ll need to complete a multi-engine training course. Here at Thrust Flight, we offer accelerated multi-engine training that focuses on the student’s need to make sure they’re receiving the proper education to complete their multi-engine rating.
  3. Checkride
    Once you’re properly trained in handling a multi-engine aircraft, you’ll put your new knowledge to the test for a checkride.
