ATP's multi-engine rating program adds multi-engine privileges to your existing Private or Commercial Pilot Certificate. All necessary ground and flight instruction required by the Multi-Engine Practical Test Standards is included. This 4 day course provides two or more FTD sessions, two training flights between 1.5 and 2.0 hours each, and the use of the aircraft for the checkride.

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.

Why Choose ATP for your Multi-Engine Rating?

More Experience & More Resources

ATP provides more multi-engine flight training and certification than any other flight school in the nation. Our aircraft fly over 10,000 hours each month, and more than 4,500 FAA certifications and ratings are achieved by ATP customers each year.

With flight training centers located coast-to-coast, and a fleet of 86 multi-engine Piper Seminoles, ATP is in a unique position to complete your flight training on time, at exactly the advertised cost.

Standardized Aircraft

All ATP aircraft feature the exact same avionics suite. All 41 2000-and-later model and 45 refurbished pre-2000 model Piper Seminoles are equipped with an HSI and Garmin GNS-430 moving map GPS.

Standardized Procedures

ATP operates within 12 different Flight Standards District Offices (FSDOs), but we use the exact same operating procedures under all jurisdictions. This attests to the quality of training and standardization that we uphold.

ATP-Approved Examiners

We work with the same Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) day in and day out—they are familiar with our standardized training procedures and checklists. This relationship ensures a low-stress checkride, for which you will be extremely well prepared.

Testimonials

“I recently obtained my multi-engine rating at ATP. I was very impressed with the program as I had never set foot in a multi-engine aircraft prior to this class. My instructor was very sharp and knowledgeable on top of having a great personality. We got along very well which assisted in learning and retaining all of the new material that was introduced to me. I look forward to expanding my aviation opportunities with the help of ATP.”

“I'm now a certified Multi-Commercial Pilot! Training was direct, pertinent, and efficient. There was a good assessment of what skills I already had and training was focused on bringing the rest of my skill-set up to par for the practical. Thanks for an intense and rewarding experience.”

“I sincerely enjoyed my introduction to multi-engine flying. When I'm able to graduate beyond the flying club I may be working harder to qualifying for a Piper Aerostar instead of a Bonanza. I particularly appreciate all the help to find and deliver a second plane to continue the checkride. Before starting, I was a little bit apprehensive of how the one-price, four-day program would adjust to unforeseen events but I really felt that you gave high-quality, thorough, and safe training while keeping within the advertised budget...nowhere was that clearer than when I found out someone had flown down a replacement plane overnight so I could finish the checkride. When it comes time to extend my CFI privileges to CFII and MEI, ATP will be at the top of my list.”
