Cleared for Multiengine Instructing Syllabus

Cleared for Multiengine Instructing

Built for current airplane flight instructors. This is not an initial CFI course.

Practical-test focused

No additional FAA knowledge test is required when a current airplane flight instructor adds the airplane multiengine class rating. Your focus is practical-test readiness—and the knowledge, judgment, and teaching skill to instruct safely from the right seat.

BUILT FOR AN EXISTING CFI

Teach the twin—not just fly it

You already know how to instruct. This course helps you apply those teaching skills in an environment where asymmetric thrust, aircraft systems, performance limits, and time-critical decisions must be understood, demonstrated, and taught with precision.

The training begins with multi-engine systems, planning, aerodynamics, and emergency procedures. It then moves into the cockpit, where you develop right-seat proficiency, practice teaching the required maneuvers, and build the judgment needed to manage engine-inoperative operations safely.

By the end of the course, you will be prepared to demonstrate and teach the required multi-engine tasks to the standards of the FAA practical test—and to give future students the disciplined, safety-focused instruction they deserve.

ONE CONNECTED TRAINING PATH

Ground, flight, and tracking—working together

Each activity prepares you for the next, from online learning through practical-test recommendation.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Two stages. Four phases. Fifteen lessons. Three stage checks.

Knowledge comes first. Right-seat application and instructor technique follow in a deliberate sequence.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Build the knowledge and teaching skill that multi-engine instruction demands

Move beyond merely performing a maneuver. Learn to explain it, demonstrate it, recognize errors, manage risk, and intervene at the right time.

PROGRAM BENEFITS

A stronger path for the instructor—and a more standardized program for the school

For the instructor

Practical-test focusFor the intended applicant—a current airplane CFI adding the multiengine class rating—training centers on oral and flight-test readiness rather than another FAA knowledge test.
Better use of aircraft timeComplete assigned knowledge and preflight review before the lesson so expensive multi-engine flight time is used for application, coaching, and refinement.
Right-seat confidenceBuild the control feel, scan, sight picture, and intervention judgment required to demonstrate while simultaneously teaching.
Safety-first engine-out trainingDevelop a deliberate, methodical approach to failure recognition, aircraft control, configuration, troubleshooting, and decision-making.
A reusable professional referenceReturn to the course after completion for refreshers on systems, performance, aerodynamics, and teaching technique.

For the school or university

A standardized sequenceGive students and instructors a common lesson order, defined objectives, completion standards, and stage-check structure.
Ground-to-flight continuityConnect web-based instruction, required preflight review, and in-aircraft lessons so each activity prepares the student for the next.
CTA coordinationAt participating schools, CTA helps keep assigned online lessons and flight-training progress aligned for the student, instructor, and training team.
Consistent readiness checksUse the knowledge review, Phase 3 proficiency check, and end-of-course proficiency check to identify gaps before practical-test recommendation.
Flexible implementationUse the integrated syllabus with an independent instructor or Part 61 school, or incorporate it into a Part 141 school’s FAA-approved Training Course Outline.

WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR

An added-rating course for a current flight instructor

Is this an initial CFI course?

No. Cleared for Multi-Engine Instructing is an added-rating course for someone who already holds a Flight Instructor Certificate. It is designed primarily for an airplane single-engine flight instructor adding the airplane multiengine class rating.
Do I have to take an FAA written knowledge test for the MEI add-on?

Not when you already hold a flight instructor certificate with an airplane rating and are adding the airplane multiengine class rating. The FAA Flight Instructor for Airplane Category ACS states that the airplane knowledge test is required for an initial flight instructor certificate or when adding the airplane category to an existing flight instructor certificate. Your MEI add-on training therefore focuses on the required practical test. Applicants with a different certificate path should verify their individual requirements with an authorized instructor or the FAA.
Does the online course purchase include aircraft rental and in-aircraft flight instruction?

No. The online course provides the web-based knowledge instruction, required preflight review content, and the integrated training syllabus. In-aircraft training, aircraft rental, instructor charges, examiner fees, and other local costs are arranged separately through your flight school or instructor.
Can I use the course for Part 61 training?

Yes. The course can be used with an independent authorized instructor or a Part 61 flight school. Your instructor will sequence the flight lessons, provide the required endorsements, and determine when you are ready for the practical test.
Can a Part 141 school use the course?

Yes, when the course is incorporated into and used under that school’s FAA-approved Training Course Outline. The approved TCO—not the retail webpage—controls the school’s required times, stage checks, graduation standards, and recordkeeping.
How much ground training is included?

The syllabus contains 21.9 hours of required web-based ground training, plus optional Fundamentals of Instructing review and instructor-led preflight and postflight discussions associated with the flight lessons.
How many flight hours will I need?

That depends on the regulatory path, the school’s approved course, your recent multi-engine experience, and how quickly you reach the required proficiency. Part 61 students train to the applicable proficiency and endorsement standards. Part 141 students must complete the minimums and requirements in the school’s approved TCO.
What is CTA?

CTA is the King Schools Course Tracking Application used by participating training organizations. It helps keep assigned online lessons and flight-training progress connected so the student, instructor, and school can stay aligned through the course.
What will I practice in the airplane?

You will build right-seat proficiency in normal and short-field operations, engine failures during multiple phases of flight, one-engine-inoperative maneuvering, approaches and landings, VMC demonstration, shutdown and restart procedures, slow flight, stalls, performance maneuvers, and teaching a selected maneuver.
What standards does the course use?

Knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency are organized around the FAA Flight Instructor for Airplane Category Airman Certification Standards, FAA-S-ACS-25, and the applicable requirements of Parts 61 and 141.
Why is Fundamentals of Instructing included if I am already a CFI?

The Fundamentals of Instructing lesson is an optional review. It is available if you want to refresh those concepts, and the evaluator retains discretion to assess instructional knowledge during the practical test.
Can I access the course after I complete it?

Yes. The online course includes lifetime access and automatic updates, making it useful as a continuing reference after you earn the rating.
Does completing the course automatically add the rating to my certificate?

No. Course completion is training and preparation. You must still meet FAA eligibility requirements, receive the required endorsements, complete any school graduation requirements, and pass the FAA practical test.
