Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI)
Expand your teaching credentials to multi-engine aircraft. Develop the skills to train pilots in advanced aircraft operations, emergency procedures, and complex systems while refining your own expertise.
ABOUT THIS CERTIFICATE

Over 2 weeks, you'll learn to instruct engine-out procedures, Vmc demonstrations, multi-engine systems management, and emergency scenarios from the right seat of our Piper Twin Comanche. Teaching multi-engine operations deepens your own understanding and proficiency.
