The multi-engine rating can be added on to a Private or Commercial Certificate. The multi-engine rating certifies pilots to operate aircrafts with more than one engine. Whether your goal is to fly professionally or recreationally, the multi-engine rating is the next step to improving your piloting skills and flying larger aircraft.

Become a Flight Instructor

Whether you're newer to aviation or a seasoned veteran, becoming a flight instructor is a great opportunity, here's why:

  • Quickly log flight hours:  if your goal is to become an airline or corporate pilot, becoming a flight instructor is a very rewarding way to rapidly accumulate flight hours.  Most airlines, charter, and corporate flight departments have minimum flight hour prerequisites, which can be difficult to achieve for newer aviators.  

  • Improve your soft skills:  teaching others is an easy way to build your empathy, communication and patience (all soft skills), which are highly-desirable attributes that airlines and business aviation employers seek in pilots.

  • Refine your flying skills: as the old saying goes, teaching is the best way to learn.  The knowledge, confidence, and stick-&-rudder skills a flight instructor gains is astonishing.  Ask any flight instructor, they ALL say they 'really' learned how to fly while instructing.
