For pilots looking to expand their skills and meet professional job requirements, earning a multi-engine rating is a major milestone. At Hawkins Flight Academy, we offer a structured, personalized course that emphasizes safety, real-world training, and confidence behind the controls of a twin-engine aircraft.
Why Pursue a Multi-Engine Rating?
Flying a multi-engine aircraft opens doors to commercial aviation, airline training, and advanced flight careers. Beyond career benefits, it teaches you to handle more complex systems, manage asymmetric thrust, and respond effectively in emergency situations.
Training with Modern Twins
Hawkins students train in well-maintained twin-engine aircraft under the guidance of independent CFIs. Instruction is scenario-based and tailored to your experience level, covering:
• VMC demonstrations and engine-out procedures.
• Aircraft systems and performance management.

We understand that students have unique schedules and goals. Most multi-engine ratings can be completed in just a few days with focused training. You coordinate directly with your instructor to ensure lessons fit your availability, without compromising quality or safety.
Preparing for Advanced Aviation Careers
Whether you’re building hours for airline transport, meeting hiring requirements, or progressing toward CFI and ATP-level training, a multi-engine rating equips you with the skills and confidence needed for more complex aircraft. Employers value pilots who are versatile and well-prepared.
