Multi-Engine Piston Rating
Undertaking the UK CAA Multi-Engine Piston training course allows you to fly our more powerful PA34 Seneca II twin-engine aircraft. This can either be done as an exciting addition to your PPL, for leisure, or as Module 3 to our
Modular Commercial Training course.
We are also able to revalidate and renew existing or expired MEP ratings. With good availability (including weekends), please
contact us to discuss your particular requirements.
