the multi-engine rating

What can you do with a multi-engine rating? Well, it allows you to break out of the world of single engine aircraft. You get your chance to finally fly what most people consider a real airplane. More than one engine, high performance, fast and usually decked out for instrument flying. Along with the benefits of a multi-engine there are some challenges. Like how the aircraft performs and handles after the failure of one engine. In addition to the non-normal procedures of single engine flying, normal operations can be challenging at first due to the speed and complexity of multi-engine aircraft.

Depending on what type of aircraft you do your multi in, it may be your first exposure to such advanced systems as turbo-charged engines, auto-pilots, ice-protection, weather radar, GPS and more.
