How to Get Your Multi Engine Rating
To obtain your Multi Engine Rating, you'll need to meet specific eligibility criteria, which generally include holding a Private Pilot Certificate and a valid medical certificate. The process involves a combination of ground school and flight training, where you'll gain essential theoretical knowledge and practical skills in multi engine aircraft operations. You'll accumulate the required flight hours, typically around 10-15 hours, to build proficiency and meet experience requirements. After thorough preparation, you'll need to pass both a written exam and a practical checkride with an FAA designated pilot examiner. These steps ensure you're well prepared to safely operate multi engine aircraft, and upon successful completion, you'll receive your Multi Engine Rating certification.

What Are the Requirements For a Multi Engine Rating?
For those who hold a private pilot certificate, pursuing a multi engine rating is categorized as an "add-on" rating. With prior completion of numerous tasks essential for a pilot certificate and fulfillment of aeronautical experience requirements, obtaining this rating primarily involves grasping the distinctions, familiarizing oneself with a new aircraft, and demonstrating proficiency to a designated pilot examiner.
Requirements:
- Obtain essential endorsements from an authorized instructor.
- Successfully complete a checkride with a pilot examiner, qualifying you to serve as pilot-in-command (PIC) of a multi engine aircraft.
- Not Mandatory for a Multi-Engine Rating:
- Knowledge test not necessary (when pursuing a multi-engine rating as an add-on).
- No specific minimum flight time requirement (though around 10 to 15 hours in the multi engine airplane before gaining instructor endorsements is typical).
- Medical prerequisites continue to align with those for the private pilot license, applicable across various medical certificate classes. Furthermore, the option to operate a multi engine aircraft under the alternate BasicMed requirements remains available.
