What is a Multi-Engine Rating?
A Multi-Engine Rating is necessary when moving up in your aviation career. Most commercial flying is done in Multi-Engine aircraft. These aircraft tend to be more complex and involve a higher workload when managing the systems. There are no minimum requirements by law to fly a Multi-Engine aircraft. It is strongly advisable to do a Multi-Engine conversion if you are working towards a career in aviation.
