As the name implies, the multi-engine rating allows you to fly airplanes with more than one engine. Multi-engine airplanes are often faster than single engine airplanes and can carry more weight. Many people find the extra complexity of managing two engines to be very satisfying.
Slipstream Aviation uses the Piper Twin Comanche for multi-engine training. It has some of the smallest engines of any twin engine airplane, yet is surprisingly fast. This combination makes it a very efficient and cost effective multi-engine aircraft. The Twin Comanche is an ideal training airplane as well as a great plane to rent and fly long distances.
The multi-engine training takes about 10 flight hours (probably the 10 most fun hours of all your flight training) for most people. An estimate of the program follows:
Airplane rental for 10 hours $3,150
Instruction for 25 hours $1,250
Practical Test $500
Total $4,900
