Accelerated Multi-Engine Add-On Course

Receive your Multi-Engine Add-On in a week, flying in the beautiful islands of Hawaii.

Summary

Our Multi-Engine Add-On courses (for Private and Commercial Airplane Multi-Engine Land, including instrument privileges) are conducted over five lessons. These lessons include learning the basics of multi-engine airplane flying, maneuvers, single-engine aerodynamics, simulated emergencies, systems management and safety procedures. If you are instrument rated, you'll learn to fly an instrument approach procedure under simulated single-engine conditions.

All of our courses will be flown in our Piper Seneca II (PA-34-200T). Our training primarily takes place out of Honolulu airport (PHNL) with the checkride in Kona (PHKO). Training and checkride locations are subject to change. All study material for ground school will be provided to you prior to your arrival, allowing you plenty of time to focus on flying.
