Twin training in real time 🤓✈️

In this video, the crew simulates a left engine failure, fully feathers the propeller, and then brings it back online using the unfeathering accumulator.

These are the types of real-world scenarios you’ll experience in our Multi-Engine Add-On program. Multi-engine training isn’t just about earning another rating—it’s about learning how to safely manage abnormal and emergency situations when they matter most.

Always remember: training exists for a reason—safety. The skills developed during multi-engine training prepare pilots to make confident, informed decisions when faced with the unexpected.
