Multi Engine Piston Rating
For those who want to take their flying further afield, then learning to fly a Multi Engine aeroplane is the next logical step. It is also one of the requirements for those working towards commercial flying and the ATPL.
This rating adds the ability to fly any aircraft within the class. We use the modern and widely-used DA42 TwinStar for Multi Engine Training.
