I'm the multi-engine instructor you will probably fly with if you choose Career Pilot School. I had a free minute and thought I would post with some information for our future multi students. I'm sure many of our past students can back me up on this.
There are a few things you can do before ever getting to the airplane that will make getting your rating or transition a lot easier and more enjoyable. This is directed at Multi-engine but applies to aviation in general.
- Study and Memorize the V speeds for the Aircraft.
I can't emphasize this enough. It will make learning maneuvers and procedures much easier, not to mention it is material you need for the oral portion of the check ride.
- Study the Aircraft Systems and Limitations.
The more you know the quicker we can go. Your also going to be asked systems questions on your check ride.
- If you Instrument Rated, be instrument current and proficient (there is a difference)
If you aren't current or proficient, I can help you get there but it takes away from time learning other things. Not to mention you spent a lot of time and money developing those skills in the first place.
- Get in the habit of being smooth on the controls and thinking ahead in your flying.
- Have a good attitude Flying is supposed to be fun.
Like I said in the beginning this applies to any aircraft or ground school. Instructors are a tool for learning but the ultimate responsibility for
learning the material is with the student. "You can lead a horse..." and all that stuff. I look forward to flying with you and if you have any questions just ask.
