EASA MEP (A)

EASA Multi Engine Piston

EASA MEP (A) rating extends the privileges of EASA PPL (A) or EASA CPL (A) and allows you to pilot aircraft with more than one engine.

The Multi-Engine Piston - EASA MEP(A) rating extends the privileges of a Private Pilot License - EASA PPL(A) or Commercial Pilot License - EASA CPL(A) and allows you to pilot aircraft with more than one engine. One of the main take-aways of the training is to understand the differences between a single-engine piston and a multi-engine piston aircraft. Once you complete your Multi-Engine Piston training, you will get your MEP(A) qualification added on your EASA Private Pilot License - PPL(A) or EASA Commercial Pilot License - EASA CPL(A).

MEP (A) Features

• Allows to pilot aircraft with more than one engine
• Extends the privileges of PPL(A) or CPL(A) and of IR(A) to MEP/IR

Ground Training

Theoretical preparation takes 15 hours with an instructor, during which you will become familiar with the multi-engine piston airplane, systems and aerodynamics. You will also learn the procedures and maneuvers that apply in multi-engine airplane during normal and engine-out operations under VFR and IFR.

Flight Training

The flight training for a holder of IR(A) takes 11 hours (6 hours VFR and 5 IFR) of dual flight instruction. The training is divided into 3 stages.

Practical Exams

To prove your practical skills, you will need to pass a practical flight test with an approved examiner. You will need to prove your ability to:

• Operate the airplane within its limitations
• Complete course specific maneuvers as smooth and as accurate as possible
• Exercise good judgment and airmanship
• Apply aeronautical knowledge
• Maintain control of the airplane at all times
