A step forward to your aviation dream. Extend your PPL(A) or CPL(A) privileges to fly aircraft with more than one engine.
The Multi-Engine Piston – MEP is a step forward to your aviation dream.
Attaining the EASA Multi-Engine Piston – MEP (A) rating extends privileges of EASA Private Pilot License – PPL (A) and Commercial Pilot License – CPL (A) which allows you to fly aircraft with more than one engine.
One of the main takeaways of the training is to understand the differences between a single engine piston and a multi-engine piston aircraft.
Once MEP(A) training is completed, the qualification will be added on your EASA Private Pilot License – PPL(A) or EASA Commercial Pilot License – CPL(A).
The Multi Engine Piston rating is valid for 12 months and is renewed with a flight test with a Flight Examiner.
Comprehensive ground and flight training for multi-engine operations
Theoretical preparation takes 15 hours with an instructor, during which you will become familiar with the multi-engine piston airplane, systems, and aerodynamics.
You will learn the procedures and maneuvers that apply in multi-engine airplane during normal and engine-out operations under VFR and IFR
15 hours of theoretical preparation with a qualified flight instructor
The ground training ensures you have a comprehensive understanding of:
The flight training for a holder of IR(A) takes 11 hours (6 hours VFR and 5 IFR) of dual flight instruction.
The flight training is divided into three progressive stages, each building on the skills learned in the previous stage.
Each stage is designed to progressively develop your proficiency and confidence in multi-engine operations.
You will become familiar with the multi-engine airplane used in the training course and with the human factors concepts and issues relating to multi-engine operations. Additionally, through the introduction and review of multi-engine maneuvers and procedures, you will learn to fly the multi-engine airplane under day VFR conditions during normal two-engine operations. Minimum requirements according to Part FCL (flight crew licensing) is 2.5 hours during normal operation of an aircraft (with both engines).
You will learn the techniques and procedures required for the performance of engine-out operations in the multi-engine airplane. According to Part FCL minimum required time at least 3.5 hours of dual flight instruction in engine failure procedures and asymmetric flight techniques. In addition, you will conduct a review of the maneuvers and procedures performed in Stage I.
If you have the Instrument Rating and desire instrument privileges in the multi-engine airplane, you will acquire pilot proficiency in the performance of required IFR operations and procedures in the multi-engine airplane. The instrument-rated student will meet the course requirements at the completion of this stage.
To prove your practical skills, you will need to pass practical flight test with an approved examiner. You will need to prove your ability to:
