M U L T I - I N S T R U M E N T T R A I N I N G If you are aspiring to become an aviation professional, there are several good reasons to obtain your instrument rating in a twin engine aircraft. Multi-engine experience is a significant factor for airline recruiters reviewing applicant resumes. Candidates with more multi-engine experience have an easier time getting an interview with the regional of their choice. Many students obtain their single engine private through CFI ratings first, and then figure out how to get multi-engine time later. Building twin time as an MEI can be a slow process because many flight schools do not have twin engine aircraft, and have a limited pool of multi-engine students. Many CFI's end up building time out of pocket. The Instrument rating is a good time to accumulate some of that sought after experience. Use of a twin also allows the candidate to build time for the 50 hours cross country PIC requirement while transiting faster between approaches on instrument lessons. Training in a twin engine airplane will provide the candidate with an opportunity to fly in real instrument conditions (IMC) when appropriate in an aircraft with redundant powerplant, electric, and gyro systems. Training in such faster aircraft with weather, traffic, and retractable gear serves as a good orientation to the complex environment of the aircraft you aspire to fly and helps to better prepare you for the very fast pace of training found in a regional airline. Once you have passed your instrument test in a twin, your instrument privileges will automatically transfer to single engine aircraft Training at 1World Aero will generally begin with ground and simulator orientation, followed by initial lead in training in a single. When the candidate and instructor feel ready, the course lessons will continue in the Seneca. _________________________________________________________________ MULTI-INSTRUMENT RATING ESTIMATE: Flight Time - Seneca - 30 hrs Tobago - 10 hrs Instruction - 70 hrs
