FTP 223 – Fundamentals of Commercial Pilot Multi-Engine Flight Operations

Course Description:

Introduces the student to the field of commercial multi-engine flight operations. Topics include: multi-engine aircraft performance, multi-engine aircraft aerodynamics, one engine operations, emergency procedures, instrument procedures, commercial pilot decision making and crew resource management. Emphasis is placed on gaining the necessary knowledge to obtain the multi-engine add-on rating to the student’s Commercial Pilot Certificate.
