The ATP multi engine rating program will add multi engine privileges to a pilot’s existing Commercial or Private Pilot certificate.
The program includes all necessary flight and ground training required by the Multi Engine Airman Certification Standards.
The course typically lasts five days and provides up to eight hours of flight training as well as the use of the aircraft for checkride.
A ‘checkride’ is just another name for the FAA practical test required to receive an ATP or to attain a rating for additional flight privileges.
This part of the application process includes the candidate being examined by a designated pilot examiner while they fly an aircraft, to demonstrate their competency and skills required to obtain the certificate.
