Multi-Engine Rating

Fly North's multi-engine program adds the rating in about one focused week in our Piper Apache: a weekend of ground instruction, then weekday flying one-on-one with your CFI. The estimated investment is $4,584 for ground and flight instruction, with the checkride extra.

Questions

What do I need before starting?

At least a private pilot certificate and a current medical. Most students add multi-engine while working toward their Commercial certificate.

What aircraft do you use?

Our Piper Apache twin, flown one-on-one with a Fly North multi-engine instructor.

What comes after the rating?

Many pilots go on to become a Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI), which opens higher-paying instructing work while building hours.
