Multi Engine Aircraft Class Rating – Par Avion Flight Training

Par Avion Flight Training

Multi Engine Aircraft Class Rating

Multi-Engine Aircraft Class Rating

Many pilots have the goal to advance their skills to fly multi-engine aircraft. You may choose to do this for professional reasons to advance your flying career, or as a private pilot you can further your enjoyment and add a greater level of safety to your flying.

Multi-engine aircraft are usually larger and will fly further, higher, faster and provide for a more comfortable ride than most single-engine aircraft.

Multi-engine aircraft are more complicated to operate and have retractable undercarriage and manual propeller pitch controls. Endorsements for the operation of these features and controls are included in this course – where required.

> 3 weeks full-time or flexible part-time

On successful completion of the full course, students will attain:

  • a Multi-Engine Aircraft Class Rating (MEACR)
  • a Retractable Undercarriage Endorsement (if required) 
  • a Manual Propeller Pitch Control Endorsement (if required) 

– issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

Your multi-engine rating will cover all aspects of operating a multi-engine aeroplane, including normal and abnormal operations, multi-engine flying, performance, engine failure and asymmetric (single-engine) handling.

Your training includes basic aircraft familiarisation, before learning to fly the aircraft on only one engine (asymmetric). This is followed by circuit work, firstly with both engines working and then, when you have mastered the speed and handling of the aircraft, honing your skills when one of the engines is operating. All flight training is carefully managed by one of our senior flight instructors who are specifically endorsed for this type of training.

We have a variety of multi-engine aircraft types available for this course:

  • Beechcraft Duchess BE76 (standard aircraft for this course)
  • Britten Norman Islander BN2 (extra fees apply)
  • Piper Navajo PA31 (extra fees apply)
  • Cessna Titan C404 (extra fees apply).

To attain the rating, you will need to pass the MEACR flight test.
