What to Expect During Your Multi-Engine Initial & Multi-Engine Add-On Training Programs:
The basic difference between operating a single-engine airplane and a multi-engine airplane is the potential problem of engine failure. The loss of an engine possesses two major problems for the pilot, loss of power and the loss of control. The loss of an engine not only reduces the power by 50%; it causes a loss of control because of the asymmetrical thrust that is created by the remaining operative engine.
During your training to become a multi-engine pilot, you will learn to safely fly the aircraft under normal operations as well as with one engine inoperative (OEI).
