Multi-engine Flight

Catalog description

This course provides both the ground and flight training needed to earn the FAA Multi-Engine rating. It includes 15 hours of dual flight instruction and 3.7 hours of pre-/post flight briefings. The College does not offer its own ground school course for this rating and students will work with the flight school to complete that training. For students choosing to fly with Sunrise Aviation, the course includes 15 hours of ground instruction. For students choosing to fly with Sterling Flight Training, the course includes 12 hours of ground instruction. The course requirements for this class are met when the student earns their multi-engine add-on rating.It should be noted that the hours above are based on FAA-syllabus minimums, and students will often exceed these minimum hours. The costs for these additional flight hours are **not** covered by the course fee. **Pilot students are expected to fly at least 3 flights per week, not counting Sundays.** Students who cannot commit to such a schedule are not likely to pass. This course also has special requirements which students must meet prior to enrolling: 1) Students must hold a minimum of an FAA 3rd Class medical certificate (Current 2nd Class for GI Bill® students); 2) Students must be U.S. citizens or have TSA authorization to start flight training; and 3) Students must meet with the Program Manager to verify documentation, review course requirements and flight training costs. Florida State College at Jacksonville provides flight instruction through a College-contracted flight school.
