MEP
Multi Engine PistonHave you ever thought about having a second engine in case of an emergency when flying at night or on long overwater routes? The MEP training entitles you to fly a twin-engine aircraft, giving you and your passengers a considerable degree of safety.
Authorization
With the class rating MEP(A), Multi Engine Piston (Airplane), you acquire the class rating to fly multi-engine piston airplanes, which are approved for operation by only one pilot, by visual reference. If you have a SEP/IR instrument rating for single-engine aircraft, you can then extend this to the MEP/IR rating for multi-engine aircraft.
Your training looks like this
Hours theory
Hours flight time
Theoretical training
The theoretical training comprises 7 hours and includes familiarization with the systems and handling of the DA42-VI aircraft type.
The subsequent optional instrument flight part does not include theory.
Practical training
The practical training includes at least 6 hours of flight time with a flight instructor.
- 2.5 hours flight time basic training
- 3.5 hours flight time with a focus on training in engine failures and asymmetric flight conditions
The optional subsequent part of the extension of the instrument rating comprises at least 5 further flight hours with an instructor, in which the pilot flies exclusively under IFR.
