Best Flight School To Get Your Multi-Engine Rating

A multi-engine rating is essential for pilots who want to fly faster and higher, especially those who plan to work as commercial pilots for an airline. Paragon Flight is the best flight school to get your multi-engine rating. Our flight training choices extend to all levels of aviation credentials, and we work diligently to meet the needs of every student.

Multi-Engine Training

A multi-engine add-on is a rating that serves as a supplemental to an existing pilot license. Students can also pursue a multi-engine license that addresses the skills of aviation at the same time as those needed to operate twin-engine aircraft.

An add-on program can be completed in a single week in most cases, and both options are meant to meet the needs of all pilots, especially those who have professional aspirations.

Expectations during Multi-Engine Training

Flying a multi-engine aircraft is different from flying a single-engine plane in one significant way: the power. A multi-engine plane can fly higher and faster than one with a single engine, but if one engine goes out, the imbalance can be disastrous. The dangers include loss of control and power. We will prepare you for OEI (One Engine Inoperative) situations during all conditions and all stages of flight so that if disaster strikes, you aren’t left unprepared.

For the safest and most predictable training experience, we choose the Piper PA-44 Seminole. Made entirely of metal, this aircraft flies predictably and has straightforward systems for the best training experience. As is our entire fleet, this aircraft features Glass Cockpit technology and advanced avionics for the most transferable training you’ll experience.

Train with Paragon Flight

Paragon Flight is allowed to operate under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 141 and 61. This duality of regulations lets us provide flexible training courses as well as full-time, highly structured programs. You may have limited availability and can only pursue aviation during vacation time, or you may be a traditional student who wants to complete training as quickly as possible by attending full-time. Either way, choose Paragon Flight.

We provide great locations where the weather is flight-friendly all year long, the facilities are modern and convenient, and the essentials of training are in place and stellar. You’ll face no obstacles to training and no element that is less than superior when you choose Paragon Flight.
