Frequently Asked Questions:
Is there an age limit?
There is no specific age limit for a multi-engine rating. However, you must be at least eligible for a private pilot certificate (16 years old).
What pilot certificates are required?
Since multi-engine is a rating you must first hold at least a private pilot certificate. Most people get an instrument rating before the multi-engine rating. An instrument rating is not required but it is recommended because it will strengthen your flying skills in preparation for the complex, sometimes high-performance twins.
How long?
How long depends on you. It’s all based on proficiency. Fly with your instructor until you are confident and proficient in the required maneuvers.
How much?
