5 Days    $5,695
$5,745 at FLL

ATP's multi-engine instructor rating program adds multi-engine privileges to your existing Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Certificate. This program provides all necessary ground and flight instruction for tasks required by the Multi-Engine Instructor Practical Test Standards.

This program provides the low multi-engine experience pilot with the multi-engine time necessary to meet the MEI flight time requirement of 15 hours multi-PIC.

ATP will send you the “Piper Seminole Training Supplement” before your training. This booklet covers multi-engine aerodynamics, aircraft systems, checklist procedures, flight procedures, weight & balance, and a checkride oral review. All checklists, required charts, instrument approach plates, Piper’s “Seminole Information Manual,” and the Seminole POH will be made available at the flight training center.
