Congratulations Justin Brewton on becoming a Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI), instructed by MEI Gage Weber. ✈️
Becoming a multi-engine instructor requires more than simply flying a twin-engine aircraft well. An MEI must be able to teach complex aircraft systems, explain aerodynamic concepts clearly, demonstrate proper techniques, recognize developing errors, and guide another pilot through engine-failure scenarios and single-engine operations safely and confidently. Justin Brewton met that challenge and earned the privilege of teaching the next generation of multi-engine pilots.
Multi-engine instructor training sharpens both flying and teaching skills, with an emphasis on Vmc demonstrations, engine-out procedures, aircraft systems, instructional technique, risk management, and sound decision-making. Kentucky Flight Training Center is proud to celebrate Justin’s achievement at Bowman Field in Louisville, Kentucky. For pilots researching multi-engine instructor training in Louisville or working toward an MEI rating, this milestone represents the level of knowledge, precision, and instructional ability required to teach in twin-engine aircraft.
Kentucky Flight Training Center is located at Bowman Field (KLOU) in Louisville, Kentucky. Our Louisville flight instructors help student pilots, professional pilots, and future flight instructors build practical skills for every stage of aviation. If you are comparing flight schools in Louisville, Kentucky, or researching how to become a flight instructor, follow along for real training milestones, checkride successes, and the work behind every new rating.

Ever wonder what actually makes an airplane wing produce lift? ✈️
It starts with the airfoil—the cross-sectional shape of the wing. Its curved upper surface, lower surface, leading edge, trailing edge, chord line, and camber all affect how air moves around the wing and how much lift it can produce.
As the airplane moves forward, airflow travels around the airfoil. The shape of the wing creates a pressure difference while also turning airflow downward. Lower pressure over the upper surface contributes to lift, while the downward deflection of air produces an upward reaction on the wing. These effects work together—not as competing explanations—to keep the airplane flying.
One of the most important concepts every student pilot learns is angle of attack (AOA): the angle between the wing’s chord line and the relative wind.
Increasing angle of attack generally increases lift—but only to a point.
Once the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack, airflow can no longer remain smoothly attached to the upper surface. Flow separation increases dramatically, lift decreases, drag increases, and the wing stalls.
That means an aerodynamic stall is not determined by a specific airspeed. A wing stalls when it exceeds its critical angle of attack. Understanding that distinction is essential for slow flight, takeoffs, landings, stall recovery, and everyday aircraft control.
Camber matters too. Different airfoil shapes are designed for different missions. Thick, curved airfoils can provide strong low-speed performance, while thin, sharp profiles are better suited to very high-speed and supersonic flight.
Learning to fly is much more than memorizing definitions. Once you see these aerodynamic principles happen from the cockpit, the concepts start making sense.

FAST-TRACK YOUR AVIATION CAREER
Your total time matters. The kind of experience inside those hours matters even more.
Adding a multi-engine rating gives you experience in a faster, more complex aircraft and develops the skills employers, instructors, and professional flight operations expect from advancing pilots.
Kentucky Flight Training Center is offering two August Accelerated Multi Course options:
Option 1
Training: August 11–13
Checkride: August 14
Option 2
Training: August 18–20
Checkride: August 21
Train in the Piper Twin Comanche PA-30 at Bowman Field in Louisville, Kentucky. The course includes up to 10 hours of dual instruction and 5 hours of ground training for $6,500 + examiner fee.
During training, you will work on multi-engine systems, Vmc awareness, engine-out procedures, single-engine performance, emergency operations, multi-engine aerodynamics, checklist discipline, and practical-test preparation.
Why add multi-engine?
✈️ Commercial multi-engine privileges
✈️ Airline and regional career goals
✈️ Charter and corporate aviation
✈️ MEI training and instruction
✈️ A stronger, more competitive logbook
The biggest advantage of an accelerated course is momentum. You are not relearning material after long gaps between flights. You stay immersed in the airplane, the procedures, and the checkride standards from the first training day through the practical test.
This is not just about passing another checkride. It is about becoming a more capable pilot and preparing for the next level of your aviation career.
Two August options. Two scheduled checkride dates. Limited availability.
