Multi-Engine Rating
An accelerated 4-day multi engine course designed to transition, single engine pilots into complex, multi engine aircraft operations with a focus on asymmetric thrust safety.
Multi-Engine Rating
The M2A Aviation Academy Multi-Engine Rating is a 4-day accelerated program designed for pilots ready to step up to high-performance complex aircraft. This isn't just about adding a second engine; it's about mastering energy management, asymmetric aerodynamics, and split-second decision-making.
We leverage the deep experience of our former military and active airline pilots to instruct you well beyond just passing a check-ride. They will safely teach you how to manage an engine failure throughout all phases of flight with a positive outcome. This course is fast paced, and will require your full attention throughout the entire course. You will enjoy a full immersion into multi engine systems, emergency procedures, and professional commercial pilotage.
This course is fast-paced and demanding. Expect a full immersion into multi-engine systems and procedures.

+ Additional Check-ride Fee Intensity and Focus
Because the course is compressed into 4 days, the pace is intense. You’re expected to arrive prepared and ready to work.
The focus is heavily weighted toward emergency operations. You will perform air work and landings with a simulated failed engine on nearly every flight until they become muscle memory.
- Daily ground briefings and flight blocks
- Meticulous drilling of Vmc demonstrations and single-engine approaches
- Expectation of professional study habits outside of flight hours
What the Program Includes
Our Multi-Engine Rating is a turnkey package designed to get you rated and back to your career or hobby without hidden fees.
