MEP Rating
Ever fancied flying something which goes a little quicker?
Then the Multi Engine Piston (MEP) Rating is for you! The Multi offers faster cruise speeds, extended range, and the added safety and security of having two engines instead of one.
Flying Time Aviation Multi Engine Aircraft Fleet
We offer two types of multi out of Shoreham Airport, either the 6 Seat Piper PA23 Aztec, or the new Diamond DA42 Twin Star. Training can be completed on either aircraft with a conversion to the other if required.
