Multi-Engine Training with Paragon Flight
Programs at Paragon Flight, custom-designed to suit individual schedules, budgets, and goals, will make the difference in a successful versus failed training program. We offer multi-engine add-on training that you can finish in about a week. You’ll complete 11-15 hours in the cockpit perfecting your multi-engine skills, 5 hours in the classroom developing a knowledge base relevant to multi-engine flight, and 1 ½ hours submitting for the FAA check ride. We’ll provide all of the materials needed for training.
When transitioning from a single-engine aircraft to a multi-engine one, the primary training element will be one-engine operations. A plane with two engines experiences an imbalance that can cause loss of control when one of those engines fails without appropriate reactions by the pilot. Learning how to respond to this situation in all possible conditions is vital to multi-engine training.
The Piper PA-44 Seminole is the standard aircraft for multi-engine training throughout the industry, and it’s the aircraft that Paragon Flight multi-engine students fly. Our Seminole aircraft are 2022 models or newer, equipped with Garmin G1000 NXi avionics and GFC700 autopilot. The features of the Piper PA-44-180 Seminole aircraft include:
- 162 ktas maximum cruise speed
- 1028 lb. useful load limit
- 2,200 ft. takeoff distance
- 1,490 ft. landing distance
- 108 US gallons fuel capacity
- All-metal construction
- Lycoming IO-360 engine
- Simple systems
