Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) Rating

2 Days    $2,495
$2,545 at FLL

ATP's multi-engine instructor rating program adds multi-engine privileges to your existing Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Certificate. This program provides all necessary ground and flight instruction for tasks required by the Multi-Engine Instructor Practical Test Standards. Two training flights between 1.5 to 2 hours each, and use of the aircraft for the checkride are included.

ATP will send you the “Piper Seminole Training Supplement” before your training. This booklet covers multi-engine aerodynamics, aircraft systems, checklist procedures, flight procedures, weight & balance, and a checkride oral review. All checklists, required charts, instrument approach plates, Piper’s “Seminole Information Manual,” and the Seminole POH will be made available at the flight training center.
