We do not currently have multi-engine aircraft. However, this shouldn't deter you from training with us! Here's why:
- Complete most training with us: You can complete your Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Single-Engine, and all your instructor ratings with EB Flight Training.
- Build hours in single-engine: You can start building your 1,500 hours required for airlines without ever touching a multi-engine airplane.
- Minimal multi-engine time needed: Most students only have 25 hours of multi-engine time when going to their first airline. That's less than 2% of the 1,500 hours required!
- We'll refer you when ready: When you're ready for multi-engine training, we refer students to schools that specialize in multi-engine instruction.
Bottom line: You can complete 98% of your training to 1,500 hours with EB Flight Training in single-engine aircraft, then complete your multi-engine rating at a specialized school when you're ready.
