AVT 2266 Multi Engine Flight Lab
Prepares students with the aeronautical knowledge, skill and experience necessary to meet the requirements for a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Commercial Pilot Certificate with an Airplane Category and Multi Engine Land Class Rating. The course is conducted under 14 CFR Part 141. Topics include multi-engine aircraft systems, aerodynamics, flight maneuvers, single-engine operations, maximum performance takeoff and landing procedures, attitude control by instrument reference during single engine operations and single engine emergency procedures. Course Performance Standards require 15 hours of flight time and 100% completion of the course syllabus requirements. Additional fees including a course fee and a flight lab fee as well as other out-of-pocket expenses apply. Contact the Department for the current listing of these fees and expenses. Two lab hours per week. Students must be available to fly additional training flight lessons or make-up lessons at times outside of the scheduled lab hours.

Outcomes
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of multi engine aircraft systems, including weight and balance, fuel, hydraulic, landing gear, electrical and deicing systems. Analyze procedures for inoperative components during all phases of flight.
- Comprehend and demonstrate an understanding of multi engine aircraft aerodynamics, including induced flow, asymmetric thrust, critical engine and minimum controllable airspeed (Vmc), engine feathering and zero thrust controllability.
- Demonstrate flight maneuvers in a multi engine aircraft, including the use of checklists, steep turns, stalls, spin awareness, emergency descent and engine-out procedures while maintaining specific flight attitudes and ground tracks with proficiency to Commercial Pilot standards.
- Demonstrate single engine instrument approaches, including the use of checklists and engine-out procedures while maintaining specific flight attitudes and ground tracks with proficiency to Commercial Pilot standards.
