Multi-Engine Piston - MEP (EASA)

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:

The multiengine airplane used in the training course.
The human factors concepts and issues relating to multi-engine operations.
Additionally, through the introduction and review of multi-engine maneuvers and procedures, you will learn to fly the multi-engine airplane under day VFR conditions during normal two-engine operations.
Minimum requirements according to Part FCL (flight crew licensing) are 2.5 hours during the normal operation of an aircraft (with both engines).
