The Multi-Engine Piston Rating provides to the pilot the theory and practical knowledge to acquire the necessary proficiency to fly multi-engine airplanes in visual or instrument conditions.

The course has an approximate duration of 4 weeks, with 36 hours of theoretical classes and 10 flight hours.

Course Plan

Theoretical Component: The classes are usually ministered in our facilities at the Vilar de Luz Airfield, with 3 classrooms with capacity for 20 students each, equipped with air-conditioning, integrated communications training system, didactic and informatics material with video-projector.

Principles of Flight

Practical Component: The classes are composed of a minimum of 8:30 (VFR) or 15:00 (IFR) flight hours in a Piper PA44T airplane. They take place at any day of the week in accordance with the student´s availability and in coordination with the school´s flight schedule.

Our facilities provide the necessary equipment to make the flight planning, to access the relevant aeronautical information required, to consult real-time meteorology, and the space for individual briefings with total privacy.
